What to expect
The Gros Piton Hike begins with the retrieval of the guests between the times of 6:20 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. From there, they drive through the city of Castries, then up the picturesque Morne Fortune. Guests have their cameras on hand. The drive continues through the Roseau Valley, which has a view of the Banana Plantation. Through two old villages they shall travel, Anse La Raye and Cannaries. Lastly, the guests pass through the town of Soufriere and onto the foot of the mountain, Gros Piton. Each guest is given a bottle of water, a stick and a waiver to sign before commencing the hike. For every four guests one guide is appointed. The first part of the climb is a moderate one. The second half of the climb is strenuous. If the guest is an experienced or fairly good hiker then the climb should take approximately two hours up and two hours down, including all the stops made along the climb.

This hike kicked my ass both on the way up and on the way down. The trail is very steep and the giant boulders made it even harder. Like most people before me, I didn’t think I would make it but it did and I was very proud. the view from the half way point is better than the view at the top but it was still beautiful. Will I do this again?.. probably not but I’m happy I did it.Superior tours gave us a wonderful last day in st. Lucia! My boyfriend and I were running late and missed our van to the mountain, and within minutes they sent alternative transportation for us. Kim was so kind and literally saved the day!

Superior tours gave us a wonderful last day in st. Lucia! My boyfriend and I were running late and missed our van to the mountain, and within minutes they sent alternative transportation for us. Kim was so kind and literally saved the day! Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, And all of the guides were amazing to hike with! I will certainly be booking through superior tours again the next time I return to the island. Highly recommend - you won’t be disappointed!This is an intense climb. Going up is hard to breathe and coming down imo is even harder. My legs were jello. I am 52 and in good physical condition but found the heat getting to me. We were the first ones to finish and the oldest in the group but it kicked our butts. The guides were fantastic . ...
