7 Best Tours To Immerse Yourself In The St. Lucian Culture <\/h2>
<\/div>

1. Go to the Gros Islet Street Party <\/h2>

Don’t miss the livest street party on the island! Gros Islet, a cute fisherman village in the northern part of the island, attracts locals and visitors alike every Friday night. <\/p>

Here, you will find vendors selling delicious seafood and grilled meats.<\/p>

To wash down all that goodness, be sure to sample a Piton (the local beer) or treat yourself to a yummy rum cocktail or four! <\/p>

What I loved the most was the local DJs playing the hottest Caribbean tunes and Afrobeats. The good vibes were felt all around, and I danced until the wee hours of the morning with new friends I made at the party! <\/p>

If you’re staying on the island on a Friday night and looking to mingle with locals and experience a less touristy activity, be sure to book and reserve your private transportation to the best street party on the island. <\/p>

I guarantee you’ll have a blast! Alternatively, I recommend arriving early if you have your own car, as finding parking can be tricky! <\/p>

Reserve your spot here<\/a>! <\/p>

2. Enjoy the food and rum tour<\/h2>

If you’re looking for an activity to try the local cuisine and sample different types of rum and other homemade beverages on the island, then look no further! <\/p>

This 4-6 hour tasting tour is hands down one of the best ways to immerse yourself within the culture. <\/p>

During the tour, you’ll get to try green fig and salt fish (St. Lucia’s national dish), breadfruit, cassava bread, hot bakes, homemade cocoa tea, and all the spiced rums your heart desires!  <\/p>

The tour also includes the unique chance of sightseeing and visiting towns and villages around the island. Food, drinks, views, and unforgettable memories?! I can’t think of a better way to spend the day! <\/p>

If you’re staying in the northern part of the island, you want to take advantage of this tour! Complimentary hotel or resort pick-ups are available.  <\/p>

Tours begin at $205 pp. This is a popular tour, so reserve your spot here<\/a>! <\/p>

Insider Tip:<\/strong> Tours are not available on Sundays.<\/p>

<\/div>

3. Experience St Lucia Carnival<\/h2>

If you’ve ever experienced a Caribbean carnival, then you already know the St. Lucia carnival is not to be missed! Every July, this two-day parade attracts people far and wide to celebrate the island’s mixed Catholic, Caribbean, and African heritage. <\/p>

Here you will witness the happiest people dancing in elaborate costumes covered in feathers, sequins, beads, and more. <\/p>

You can hear the sounds of drums, calypso, soca, and reggae throughout the island. Most fetes (parties) are in Castries and other areas in the north. <\/p>

If you’re looking for a non-stop party, delicious food, incredible music, and all the rum you can drink, take the chance to join in or be a spectator. Either way, you’re guaranteed to have ah time!! <\/p>
