A very nice tour that I would recommend. Transfer costs $20 per person, which you pay directly at the adventure park. You are picked up from the cruise terminal in a small van and then driven to the adventure park. Here you first take the cable car and then do the zip line sections one by one. A great experience with lots to laugh at and look at. There is no real hike through the rainforest as described. Just the path from zip line to zip line. From the cable car you have a great view and the zip line is a lot of fun.

A really nice hiking adventure for St Lucia. Guides were excellent. You must be in good health, this hike gets the heart rate up in several sections. Once at the top you get a 360° view of the surrounding city and some delicious renewing snacks from the guides. A side benefit of this tour is no mouth breathers dare attempt this climb.

The slipline rides were very good. The gondola ride was too long and could have been a lot quicker.
