The Saint Lucia National Trust takes care of every detail that helps protect the natural habitat of the endemic species and other fauna found on this small island off the south east coast of Saint Lucia. It also takes care that you have informative and lively guides, a safe journey by sea to and from the island and from the shore to the highest point (c.400 ft?) and back to the beach for a swim. A unique place well worth the planning in advance to visit! Bring water/juice, photography gear, leave nothing physical behind and take away memories of a fabulous experience of conservation in practice and amazing views!

We did the hike in February, it takes about 1.5 hrs of up and down medium difficulty maintained circuit trail. Great views and the forest is beautiful, a lady who works there was our guide and was very nice to talk to. It was a nice hike as others were either too short (Tet Paul is about a 30 minute walk) or too long. You do not need a 4x4 to get up here, we had a Chevrolet Spark. It's $10usd pp for the guided hike. We had running shoes which were fine, anything but flipflops are workable. Thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't see any parrots BUT - for parrot viewing we found Morne Tabac Parrot Sanctuary, just above Soufriere (5 mins past the Beacon restaurant). Saw loads of Parrots and had an amazing time, might be easier to get to for cruise guests. There's a hiking trail but you can also just walk to the viewing platform. It's $5usd pp. Definitely recommend.

Frigate birds and boa constrictors nest at this nature reserve, which isnt much more than rocks jutting out of the sea.
5. Nature World
Nature World is located on the Eastern side of the island called Gadette, Dennery where the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and bustling communities can be viewed. At Nature World the majestic view of the La Souciere volcanic mountain and the rainforest is breathtaking which is also the home of the various fauna and flora that symbolized the island. The lushgreen vegetation will blow your mind away. One can hike to the Tropical Forest, view the different species of birds(St. Lucia Parrot) and other tropical animals, flowers, local tree swings, bathe in the therapeutic water from either pools or the waterfall, enjoy the local foods, cultural activities, plan a tropical wedding, camp for a night or two or we can provide full cheap accommodations for entire holiday. Nature World is the place to visit while on holiday or visiting in St. Lucia. It is one of the most romantic site in the Caribbean.
