Climb The Pitons
The Pitons, a world heritage site located near the town of Soufrière, offers some of the best views on the island.

Avid hikers may be able to make the trek themselves but due to the rocky terrain and subtlety of the trail, it is recommended that you find a tour guide that suits your needs. It is a difficult but invigorating climb that will most likely take the better part of your day, but the incredible views from the summit are like nothing you’ve ever seen before.
