10 Things To Do in St Lucia

Emoyeni Trail Start: Mission Rocks Finish: Mission Rocks Duration: 63 km over five days Beach Rides on Horse Back We take the horses out along Iphiva Beach at the northern end of St Lucia where there are many kilometres of clean white sand with the Indian Ocean rolling in alongside. Cape Vidal Lighthouse Despite sounding as though it should lie right on the well-known lake and conservation area, now called the iSimangaliso Wetland park, Cape St Lucia lighthouse lies roughly twenty km south of the St Lucia river mouth and one reaches it along a road from the small town of KwaMnonambi, which lies alongside the N2. Deep Sea Fishing Charter Whether you are a family, a novice or an experienced fisherman you can enjoy a unique ‘beach launch’ at first light, as the sun rises, under the watchful eye of 34 year sea veteran ‘Captain Bob’. Game Viewing on Horse Back On the shorter rides we begin at the Iphiva Campsite in St Lucia and ride in the Reserve just to the south of the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park. Igwala Gwala Forest Trail Start: Eden Park, St Lucia, iSimangaliso Wetland Park Finish: St Lucia Duration: 1.5 km Kayak Safari on the St Lucia Estuary This guided kayak safari takes place on the St Lucia Estuary, where the tidal waters are home to a large variety of fauna and flora. St Lucia Beach The St Lucia Beach is well worth a visit, with the expanse of golden sand in front of you it is the perfect spot for a gentle stroll in the morning. St Lucia Market Tucked away in St Lucia at the end of McKenzie Street you will find the most wonderful market. Here you can find a vast selection of curios and fresh produce. Whale Watching with St Lucia Charters Go on an adventure with renowned skipper Danie Bennett, who together with his qualified crew has a treasure-house full of knowledge about the whales.   #credit: Sa Venues
