From there, take transport to Hotel Chocolat Boucan, located on the Rabot Estate dating back to the 18th century. At the hotel, marvel at its prime views of Petit Piton, a cone-shaped mountain rising out of Soufrière Bay, part of the Pitons Management Area designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Visit the on-site cacao plant nursery and enjoy a presentation of how cacao is harvested and produced. Then, make your own bar of chocolate using estate-grown cacao.
Next, stroll over to an open-air pavilion for a gourmet lunch at the hotel’s top-rated restaurant, where all the dishes are prepared with cacao or chocolate. Your sweet and savory lunch includes two courses and a juice. Depending on availability, your meal may include pork, chicken breast, fish or vegetables spiced with roasted cacao nibs. Want more? Try cocktails, sorbets and ice cream with a fresh tangy cacao flavor (own expense).
After your leisurely meal, head to the dormant Mount Soufrière, considered the world’s only ‘drive-in volcano,’ and site of Sulphur Springs. Ease yourself into one of the natural mud baths, the volcanic minerals rejuvenating your skin, and then wash off in a pool of warm springwater.
With your skin aglow, return to the catamaran and sail to the base of Petit Piton. Jump in for excellent snorkeling in a protected reef and coral garden, teeming with colorful reef fish and five-finger corals.

Then, watch a stunning sunset as you set voyage back to port. Your tour ends with drop-off at your North Island hotel.
