Assumptions
- The costs are based upon a couple travelling together.
- We did not travel as part of an organised tour but as individual travelers.
- Not considered is the entry or exit transport into/out of the country.
Where We Travelled

St Lucia has been for us the least expensive destination in the Caribbean to date. Unlike previous Caribbean countries, we didn’t hire a car to tour the island, instead relying on public transport options and walking. Accommodation costs, however, were at the higher end.
