Explorer Catamaran Cruise: Pitons, Snorkel & Mud Bath

Glide down St. Lucia's dramatic west coast by luxury catamaran, anchoring beneath the UNESCO-listed Pitons for snorkelling over vivid coral reefs before a volcanic mud bath at Sulphur Springs — a true Caribbean bucket-list day.

What to expect

You board the spacious catamaran right from Castries harbour and sail past Marigot Bay and Anse Cochon, watching the Pitons rise dramatically out of the sea. The crew drops anchor at a prime snorkel site where sea turtles and rainbow fish are common sightings. After a warm mineral mud bath ashore, lunch and unlimited rum punch are served on deck as you sail back in the golden afternoon light.
