What your day looks like
This Gros Piton Hike is one of the most popular hiking tours on the beautiful island of St Lucia that visitors always look forward to. The twin Pitons are unique to St Lucia and are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Most people prefer climbing Gros Piton because it is easier, with maintained hiking trails, no ropes needed, and is less risky than the Petit Piton. Your guide will make sure that you are given the necessary time to climb at your pace. The hiking is on average two hours up and two hours of a hike down - a total of four hours.

The most difficult hike of my life but our guide to and from Gros Pitn was Noel. The Christmas birthday guy was fun, sweet and knowledgeable. Perfect driver who avoided most potholes to make for a comfortable ride. A great day!

Our excursions started out with the best driver to get there. His name was Javan and he did a wonderful job connecting and driving us to the location. Then once at the Gros Pitons our guide, Simone did a great job leading us and down the difficult hike!
