St Lucia Shore Excursion: Rainforest Aerial Tram, Zipline and Hiking

Castries, Saint Lucia

If you’re looking for a Caribbean adventure while you’re in port in St Lucia, look no further than a rainforest aerial tram and zipline canopy tour. An adventure-enthusiast’s delight, this shore excursion offers you both beauty and excitement on the island of St Lucia. You’ll enjoy an aerial tram tour across the treetops, a thrilling 10-zipline canopy tour and a guided rainforest hike.

An exhilarating Caribbean rainforest adventure awaits you while you’re in port in St Lucia. The rainforest aerial tram and zipline canopy shore excursion will get your heart pounding while you marvel at St Lucia’s remarkable natural beauty.

After you arrive at the park in Chassin, just 4.6 miles (7.4 km) from the cruise ship port , you'll be given a brief orientation and safety instruction, followed by your aerial tram journey into the rainforest. The ride provides you with fantastic views of the forest’s wildlife, including the endangered Jacquot parrot.

Your ascent will be taking you towards the top of a mountain, and you’ll get spectacular coastal views along the way. The aerial trams fit only eight people and one experienced naturalist guide, so you'll have a more personalized experience on this small group tour.

At the top of the mountain, you’ll exit the tram and go on a short guided hike through the rainforest. You can admire the tropical plant life, towering trees and the buttress roots up close.

This will take you to the first zipline platform, where you will buckle up and prepare to fly through the trees. It's all downhill from here! As you glide through the canopy, look down at the rainforest below. You’ll ride from platform to platform on all 10 ziplines, enjoying breathtaking views as you go. The zipline course is held together by the sturdy trees and is perfectly safe.

When you’ve completed the zipline course, you'll set off on another short rainforest hike and descend on the aerial tram. On the way down, see more panoramic views of the northern side of St Lucia.

The tour was fantastic! The only issue was the lack of transportation to the location of the tour. The taxi services at the cruise terminal wanted $120 for four of us to get to the tour (about 10-15 minutes from he terminal). It would have been cheaper to have booked through the cruise company!

Very well worth the money, the tram, the hike and the zip lines were all wonderful. Tour guide did not follow all the safety protocols which caused me some concern.

The Zipline and Aerial Tram was a great experience, however, had i had known that transportation from the ship was not provided I would have not bought the tour. I ended up having to pay the cost of the Zipline adventure just to take a cab to the location. I had to phone many times costing my a fortune in cell phone bills in trying to find out how I was going to get from the ship to the Zipline. This whole experience almost ruined my trip.
