Overview
Step back in time and explore one of the island’s most historic landmarks on the Pigeon Island & Fort Rodney Hike Tour. Located in the north of the island, Pigeon Island National Landmark offers breathtaking views, fascinating history, and beautiful walking trails.
Your visit begins with a short scenic hike through the national park, where well-maintained paths lead visitors past ruins of colonial buildings and historic military structures dating back to the 18th century.
The highlight of the experience is the climb to Fort Rodney, a historic British military outpost that once played a key role in battles between the British and French for control of the Caribbean. From the top of the hill, visitors are rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the coastline, nearby islands, and the sparkling Caribbean Sea.
On clear days you may even see the neighboring island of Martinique in the distance.
Along the way your guide will share fascinating stories about the island’s colonial past, naval battles, and the strategic importance of Pigeon Island throughout Caribbean history.
After exploring the fort and enjoying the incredible scenery, guests can relax on the small beach located within the park or explore the historic ruins scattered throughout the site.

What Travellers Say About Our St. Lucia Tours
★★★★★
"Antony our driver was wonderful. He was Informative, chatty and very knowledgeable, also a very good driver on some very difficult roads. Go early so you can avoid the crush at the bath an falls, both were wonderful experiences not to be missed although they get very crowded as everyone wants to do them."

Sulphur Springs Mud Bath Tour
★★★★★
"I booked this tour to easily access the Tet Paul Nature Trail (separate USD for ticket), among several other stops that truly made the tour worthwhile. We appreciated the kind tour guide who drove us around the island and all of the stops made for views, groceries, and activities. I learned so much about the island and day to day of people living there. Ended up grabbing much needed lunch (not included) at the Sulphur Springs stop and we were very tired near the end, opting to skip the waterfall."
