Buzzing Around In St. Lucia

OVERVIEW

Ride up the northwestern tip of St. Lucia in a vintage party bus to Pigeon Island, the ideal setting for a refreshing swim in the sea. The good times will be flowing freely as the bus follows a spectacularly scenic route through waterfront towns such as Gros Inlet, a former fishing village that has become wildly popular. It lies in the shadow of Pigeon Island, which is an island only in name as a manmade causeway now connects it to the mainland. Beautiful beaches rim the peninsular island, especially on the side that overlooks Rodney Bay. The party will crescendo on a prime spot for you to bask in sun, stroll along the shore or simply stretch out and enjoy the tropical views. The ride back will be just as pleasurable and entertaining as a commentary will describe the history of the molasses-based rum in the punch that will be served on the return drive.
