Top Tips For Attending The Saint Lucia Carnival

If you’re planning on heading to Saint Lucia to experience the excitement and pumping rhythms of the carnival, you’ll need to know how to go about planning your trip. Here are some top tips to make sure you get the best experience:

  • If you’re flying into Saint Lucia at carnival time make sure to book your flights well in advance. This is the most popular season of all to visit the island, and if you wait until too close to your trip you could well find that you end up disappointed.
  • Remember to bring cash to pay for snacks and drinks during the day as you won’t be able to use cards everywhere.
  • Don’t forget to drink lots of water along with the local rum – it can be very hot and you can quickly get dehydrated.
  • Wear clothes that are lightweight and that will dry quickly if it rains – the Caribbean is well known for its sudden heavy rain showers!
  • If you’re looking for the best spot to watch the Carnival Pageant and the Parade of the Bands, the area in front of the Castries craft market is highly recommended.
  • If you’re only attending one event during the entire week of the carnival, the Parade of the Bands is the best as it will give you the experience of the full spectacle.

What to Do/Not to Do

If you’re planning on heading to any of the carnival events, you’re sure to have an amazing time. The most important thing is to relax, get into the spirit of the occasion and have fun. Of course, you should always make sure to stay safe, just as you should at any event of this type anywhere in the world. There are three main things to remember:

  • Stay with your party and stay on the main carnival route
  • Take care of your cash and valuables
  • Don’t drink too much

Stay sensible and you’ll have a fantastic cultural experience.

Recently used SN Travel for the second time to help us with our annual holiday The booking process with Laura was great as always but everything after that was very poor. The hotel we stayed at was in the middle of a major upgrade with work starting early in the morning and lasting all day. It was noisy and dusty and not how I want to spend my holiday. The work was right outside our room and all round the swimming pool, see photos. Whilst I fully understand that this is not the fault of SN Travel other holiday makers had been warned and either moved to other buildings on the complex or changed hotels. Either SN Travel decided not to tell us this or they are not very well informed by their local agent. Either way you should question why you need to use them rather than go direct to the hotel or book online Our transfer from the airport, which they organised, was also a shambles but again they are taking no responsibility for that either. Make your own judgement as to whether you want to use this company, I think there are many better ones out there. We certainly won’t ever use them again

Nadeene is amazing to deal with. Not like most other travel agents who fob you off just to take your money. She genuinely makes an effort to cater to your specific needs. I highly recommend booking with SN Travel & Nadeene especially.

Sntravel exceeded the dream. We recently had 78 passengers in our group who booked with SNTravel to travel to Antigua for a 60th birthday staying at St James's Club and other parts of the island. Yvonne made the dream become the reality, dilligently working to accommodate everyone's need. An exceptional job and everyone has said until the next time. Thank Andrew & Dawn
