From water sports to golf to bird watching you will find a number of activities to occupy your time on the island. For the adventurous type, we feature below some of the breathtaking trails to be explored in the heart of the St. Lucia rainforests:

Hiking

Barre De L'isle Trail (Non-Strenuous)
The Barre de L'isle Forest Reserve gets its name from the fact that it is a ridge that divides the eastern and western halves of St Lucia. It takes approximately one hour to walk this one-mile trail and another hour to climb Mr. La Combe ridge.

The Barre de L'isle trail provides panoramic views from four lookout points along the trail. Observe the ragged Mount Gimie and the bluegreen mountain rainforest, Cul-de-Sac valley, the Caribbean Sea and community of Aux Leon.View the expansive Mabouya Valley and Fond d'Or beach on the Atlantic coast.

Des Cartlers Rainforest (Strenuous)
Experience a botanical paradise at Mahaut, St Lucia's most hidden lush rainforest. Drive six miles inland from the east coast's main highway through a secondary road. Trek through the rainforest and view the wonderful verdant forest, discover some of St Lucia's endemic wildlife on this two-kilometer trail.

Edmund Forest Reserve (Strenuous)
This 3Y2-hour trail will take you through the heart of the tropical island into Edmund Forest Reserve on the western side of the island, to experience some of nature's pristine opportunities. Numerous plants, such as bromeliads, orchids, mushrooms,lianas and others can be seen attached to their hosts, sitting on large buttress roots or branches on the spongy forest or even cascading the sides of the trail. Continue westward for a magnificent view of Mt Gimie, St Lucia's highest peak.

Enbas Saut (Moderate to Strenuous)
This trail is within the 19,000 acres of Central Rainforest Reserve; six miles East of Soufriere and at the foot of the highest mountain peak, (Mount Gimie) in St Lucia.

The Enbas Saut Falls trail is a 4km cut trail. Remote, yet unbelievably scenic, with a combination of Rainforest, Cloud Forest, ElfinWoodlands and wildlife. The hilly terrain of Piton Canarie, Piton Troumassee and Mount Gimie stands predominant not too far from the trail. Enbas Saut when translated to English means "below the falls". Hence the trail is famous for its two cascading waterfalls and pools at the head of the Troumassee River.

It is an offence under the Forest Soil and Water Conservation Ordinance Act to attempt to access trails without the express permission from the Forest and Lands Department.
