About This Tour

Pigeon Island National Landmark Tour, St Lucia

Step into St Lucia's history with a visit to Pigeon Island National Landmark, a 44-acre headland in the north connected to the mainland by a causeway near Gros Islet and Rodney Bay. Once an 18th-century British naval base built to watch French fleets across the channel, today it's one of the island's most rewarding places to explore a mix of restored military ruins, easy hiking trails, quiet beaches and sweeping Caribbean views.

With your guide, wander the ruins of Fort Rodney and its old cannons, barracks and signal station, then take the short but steep climb to the summit for panoramic views over Rodney Bay, the marina and on a clear day all the way to Martinique. Back at sea level, there's time to relax on the calm, sheltered beaches, swim or snorkel in the clear water, and visit the small interpretive museum that tells the story of the island's Amerindian, French and British past. Birdwatchers can look out for herons, frigatebirds and other tropical species along the way.
