Tours
Several local companies offer conventional guided tours of St Lucia's east coast and central mountains aboard 4WD trucks. Most are all-day, all-inclusive expeditions averaging a hefty US$90 per person, with stops at waterfalls, high mountain viewing areas and beaches; some involve rainforest hikes of up to three hours. For more information, contact Jungle Tours in Castries (tel 758/450-0434, fax 450-9154, ) or Sunlink Jeep Safaris in Rodney Bay (tel 758/452-8232, ). A more adventurous option is the inland and coastal guided walks offered by the St Lucia National Trust (tel 758/452-5005, ) and the Forest and Lands Department (tel 758/450-2231 or 2078, ). Helicopter tours and airport transfers (tel 758/453-6950, fax 452-1553) are also available, costing around US$100 for a transfer from Vieux Fort to Vigie - not so bad when you consider the cost and time of a regular taxi - and from US$45 per person for a ten-minute jaunt round the north.
