Hike the Pitons from Cruise port?

I was looking and found out that its possible to hike the Pitons and climb to top one of the mountains in St. Lucia. i know its about 2 hours drive one way from port to the hiking spot.

as i am doing a carnival cruise here in October. would there be enough time to do this?

anyone on this board

Yes, there's several posts about this here, including tour companies that offer it ad an option. Check out Spencer Ambrose for a sea transfer each way - you'll climb from the beach instead of trailhead which adds about 600+ feet to the climb. The transfer is about 45 minutes by seas.

You can also check out Serenity TVL, Barefoot Holidays, Solar Tours and Travel, etc for tours - they all offer it, it just varies in transportation and what's included.

Quite doable from the ship. Bring lots of water, more than you think. Enjoy!
