Praslin - Must See



               Frégate Islands Nature Reserve
 GROS          A natural promontory provides a lookout from
 ISLET         which to view the two small islets Frégate Major and
               Frégate Minor and -- with luck -- the frigate birds that
               nest here from May to July. The only way to visit is on
 DAUPHIN
               a guided tour, which includes a ride in a gommier to
               Frégate Minor for a picnic lunch and a swim. All trips
 CASTRIES      are by reservation only and require a minimum of
               two people. Arrange visits through your hotel, a tour
               operator, or the Saint Lucia National Trust; many tours
               include round-trip transportation from your hotel as well
