St. Lucia Rainforest Adventure: Aerial Tram, Hike & Zipline

Description

Step into one of St. Lucia’s most remarkable natural settings, where lush tropical rainforest, panoramic views, and a dose of adrenaline come together in one experience. Explore the protected Castries Waterworks Forest Reserve from three completely different perspectives. Glide peacefully above the canopy aboard the Aerial Tram, then step beneath the trees on a guided rainforest hike, getting closer to the plants, wildlife, and ecosystem surrounding you. Then turn up the adrenaline on the Canopy Zipline Course, featuring 8 lines and 16 platforms that take you right through the treetops. Along the way, your naturalist guide brings the rainforest to life with insights into this unique ecosystem. By the end, you’ll have experienced the same rainforest from above the canopy, beneath the trees, and flying right through them — three perspectives that reveal a completely different side of St. Lucia.

3 n 1 Experience

Zipline through the rainforest was fun and Informative. Our guide JR was energetic and knowledgeable about the region. We had small group so it was fairly timely to do 8 lines. The aerial tram was tranquil and also cooler up the mountain. All in all it was a great experience.

In a rainforest amongst nature’s beauty, a life challenge awaits.
