I don’t believe the theory that it is easier to travel in an unknown place when you are traveling alone, than are traveling with your family and friends. So, I always like to travel with my family and small group of friends. It is economically cheaper too. Recently we visited the beautiful island of “Saint Lucia” and it was an amazing tour! Many people call the island, St Lucia is the Hawaii of the Caribbean – and it is true. It is known for the drive-in volcano (Gros & Petit Piton, a UNESCO declared World Heritage Site), beautiful mountain, azure sea, sandy beaches and lush green rain forest. The sun was shining and the inhabitants were very helpful, cultural and you wouldn’t feel as through you are an outsider for them. We like its crystal clear sandy beaches, the lush green volcanic peaks, ripping up from the Caribbean sea. We did scuba driving, snorkeling, hiking, horseback riding and much more water sports. It was an incredible experience of my life.
We visited in April this year and may be due to off season, it was not over crowded. So it was an ample of opportunity for us to explore the island sans tourists. After reaching Jamaican Airport for the first time, we were a little confused as to where to go to get the transport for the team.

Thankfully, we got a
charter bus hiring agent. We hired one well equipped multi sitter air-conditioned mini
charter bus from that bus hiring company and one local tour guide for assistance. It was perfect for our team outings at the island. It was entirely reliable and an affordable and safe way to travel throughout the island. The
charter bus had an elegant interior similar to a deluxe coach. It had setting capacity of 20 passengers with high back reclining comfortable leather cover seats and luggage storage space. It had a good music system, PA system and TV/DVD for leisure time.

We started our day trip from our hotel “Sandals Resorts”. At first we took some breakfast with coconut cakes, local delicacies, local beers and coconut water. Then our mini charter bus drove us through the heart of Saint Lucia and showed some of the historic places and attractions – like the big Central library, Derek Walcott square, century old Governor House and the Massava tree. Then we visited the Morne fortune, where we enjoyed the panoramic view of the island. Our next stop was beautiful Marigot Bay and Toraille Waterfall. Here we enjoyed beautiful palm trees, lush green forests and tasted local native banana.
Then our charter bus headed off to the only active volcano in the region – where we found noisy Sulphur springs with hot muddy water.
Our most memorable charter bus day trip ended with viewing the beautiful and pictorials Piton Mountains.
Our St Lucia tour was so memorable due to our one decision – hiring a charter bus for the trip. It is the best mode of transportation for the group of people and economically beneficial too. It gave us an opportunity to take long time in the view of the neighboring areas. Everything was on board; toilet, sanitizer etc. We enjoyed our traveling time by drinking coconut water, beers, eating some snacks or taking a nap or watching TV/DVD.
