Discover the birdlife of St. Lucia on a guided hike in the Castries Waterworks Reserve. Spot endemic species, enjoy a continental breakfast, and learn about the local flora and fauna.

PRICE: $120
per person

 

Begin your birdwatching adventure with a pickup from your hotel in the North of St. Lucia. Arrive at the Rain Forest Adventure Park, where you’ll receive an orientation before starting your hike.

Set off on the Jacquot Trail with an experienced nature interpreter, who will guide you through the forest, pointing out signature calls and keeping eyes peeled for even the most elusive of birds.

The Castries Waterworks Forest Reserve is home to several endemic species and some of the region’s most intriguing birdlife, from the tropical hummingbird to migratory kestrel. The Amazona Versicolor, St Lucia’s national symbol, makes this forest its home, though it is notoriously bashful.

In flight, there is nothing more magnificent than the St Lucia Oriole, with its yellow/orange markings especially dramatic against its black plumage. In no short supply are three varieties of hummingbird, the Banana Quit, and the Pewee, all of which animate the forest canopy.

The hike is moderate in difficulty, the ascent is gradual, and there are rest points along the way. After your hike, enjoy a continental breakfast at the Hummingbird Cafe before being transferred back to your hotel.
