Catamaran Day SailThis delightful day commences with a short ride from your hotel to the dock where you board a catamaran. The boat sets sail down the west coast of St. Lucia, past two fishing villages and the deserted coves along the coast. Come within excitable proximity to the Majestic Pitons and enjoy their intimidating magnificence, as you approach Soufriere. At Soufriere, join mini buses which will take you to visit the Volcano/Sulphur Springs, and the Diamond Botanical Gardens/Waterfall and Mineral Baths. Lunch is served at a restaurant in Soufriere. Back to the boat to enjoy the rum punch, beer and sodas which are served throughout the day, to swim and snorkel at Anse Cochon and a visit to Marigot Bay before returning to dock where the buses will be waiting to take you back to your unit.

Doolittle's, part of the Marigot Beach Club Hotel (tel. 758/451-4974), lying 14km (8 3/4 miles) south of Castries. The Marigot Bay ferry takes you to the palm-studded peninsula of the resort; tickets cost EC$5 (US$1.85/£1). On Saturday nights -- when Doolittle's offers a lavish seafood and barbeque buffet along with a steel band -- this is the best place to be on the island. You can come here for drinks (try the Singapore Slings) or dishes like chunky pumpkin soup, jerk chicken, or lobster and coconut shrimp Creole.
