Sunset Cruise We took a sunset cruise from Laborie for our last excursion of the trip. This trip was also set up at the Coconut Bay resort and is not that expensive. However, this excursion was possibly the only slight disappointment during our trip. This cruise takes place on a [...]
CBay to Dennery We decided to hire a driver and take a day trip to Castries and the North Side of St. Lucia. So far, the entire trip was on the South side of the island. We wanted to see as much as possible. After some negotiating at the activities [...]
Rum Tasting at Coconut Bay: Early afternoon rum tasting at Coconut Bay is another recommended activity at the resort. A rum tasting is held at Harmony Pool Bar on Wednesday's around noon. You should be prepared to sample many different types of rum. I highly recommend having either a very [...]
Dune Buggy Excursion: Dune Buggy day in St. Lucia was an incredible success and I highly recommend it. The Island Buggy tour was booked through the travel desk at Coconut Bay. Booking excursions on your own can be a hassle. It is so easy to book with the travel desk [...]

Start the morning with a slushy and a splash of rum. A little breakfast and then a trip to the beach! Another beautiful day in Jamaica, the weather is perfect. Spent the morning relaxing on the beach! Occasionally having a sip of Red Stripe from the room and strolling out [...]
Scotchies Slept in a little and had a very relaxing morning before meeting Shane again for a trip to Scotchies. I had read about Scotchies in a couple of the travel books and it is nearby. Shane approves that this is a good place where both locals and tourists enjoy [...]
Meeting the driver Day five starts with a light breakfast and meeting our driver for the day in the lobby. I must say I’m a bit worried about hiring a stranger in Jamaica to drive us around for the day. Especially since we’re headed quite a way from our hotel. [...]
