Know before you go

Travel tips that save vacation time.

Plan by region

Saint Lucia is mountainous. A short distance on the map can take longer than expected on winding roads. Group activities geographically.

Pick the airport around your route

Hewanorra International (UVF) is the main international gateway; George F. L. Charles (SLU) is near Castries and useful for some regional connections. Verify your current routing.

Leave room for weather

Keep one flexible half-day. Rain can change a hike, boat trip or beach plan quickly.

Don't overbook

One major excursion per day is often enough. The road between attractions is part of the experience—but it is still driving.
