Bikes, mopeds, and scooters are popular modes of transit on many Caribbean islands, but on St. Lucia's hilly terrain, they are better suited to adventure seeking. The island's scenic and beautiful mountains turn striking out on four wheels into a labor of love.
While bicycles and mopeds can be rented individually, they are most often rented as part of a tour or other adventure program. Travelers will find the best mountain biking near Soufrière and Anse Chastanet, depending on whether they are in the northern or southern portions of St. Lucia.
Mountain bike rentals may run as low as $25(USD) per day, but usually cost more than $30(USD) for two hours, $49(USD) for a half-day, and $69(USD) for a full day of biking. You may also have to put down a deposit, which is usually around $100(USD). Bike rentals are sometimes included in your stay at all-inclusive resorts.
Travelers can choose from plenty of tracks around the island. But no matter where you'd like to go by bike, remember that St. Lucia will give you a workout.
