Kara & Erica’s Honeymoon in St. Lucia

Sep 7

Travel Advisor: Ellen Nestorick
Destination: St. Lucia

Kara and Erica came to me in search of the perfect honeymoon destination in the Caribbean, and after reviewing their vacation proposal, it was clear that St. Lucia checked all the boxes. From the stunning scenery to the excursion options, it offered everything they were hoping for. When it came to selecting where to stay, they couldn’t choose just one, so they decided to split their honeymoon between two resorts and enjoy the unique experiences each had to offer!

Kara and Erica loved St. Lucia! They enjoyed the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, with plenty of exciting activities like hiking, zip-lining and exploring the island’s natural beauty. One of the highlights for them was how easy it was to find safe, gluten-free food, which made the whole trip stress-free. From the welcoming people and beautiful resorts to the delicious food and fun excursions, everything came together perfectly, and they felt completely taken care of on their honeymoon.

And the best part? They got to experience it all! Here’s a look at their itinerary:

Day 1 – Arrived in St. Lucia and took a scenic ferry ride to their resort
Day 2 – Spent the day relaxing by the pool and soaking up their resort’s atmosphere
Day 3 – Took on St. Lucia’s longest, fastest, and highest zipline while enjoying the lush forest flora and fauna
Day 4 – Experienced a guided land and sea tour: visited a banana plantation, swam at Toraille Waterfall, dipped in the mud baths, snorkeled, and more
Day 5 – Transferred to their second resort and hiked Pigeon Point (Pigeon Island)
Day 6 – Enjoyed river rafting on the Roseau River, followed by massages at the spa
Day 7 – Headed home with a private transfer to the airport

Why did you choose St. Lucia for your honeymoon?

I chose my vacation destination because it gave me the chance to stay at one resort while still enjoying the amenities and activities at all three, which added variety without the stress of moving around. I also wanted adventure, and St. Lucia offers the unique opportunity to hike Pigeon Island for both history and stunning views.

Another important factor was food, since I need gluten-free options, and this destination makes it easy to enjoy safe and delicious meals. Not many other islands offered such a wide range of activities, dining, and convenience all in one trip, which made this the perfect choice.

What were your favorite activities in St. Lucia?

For me, zip-lining was the highlight. I loved the thrill and the chance to see the island from above in such an exciting way. For my wife, snorkeling stood out as her favorite because it let her explore the water, see the colorful sea life, and enjoy the calm beauty of the ocean.

What was your most memorable moment on vacation?

The most memorable moments for me were learning the history of the island from the tour guides. They told us so many interesting things that made me want to know more, so after the tours, we even did some research on our own. It gave the trip more meaning and made me appreciate the island even more.

Kara and Erica captured some amazing photos that truly highlighted the beauty of the island!

What were some of your favorite gluten-free meals?

My favorite gluten-free meals were at the resort because they were so accommodating and friendly. Honestly, I can’t even pick just one favorite. I truly enjoyed them all. Every meal felt easy and stress-free, which made the whole experience even better.

What was your experience using Gluten-free Vacations?

My experience with my travel agent, Ellen, was awesome. She made the entire process so easy and stress-free, handling all the details so I didn’t have to worry. Ellen was friendly, helpful, and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our trip.
