Millet Bird Sanctuary

St Lucia


This nature reserve lies about 6 miles (10km) inland from the west-coast highway, in Millet. Here’s your chance to spot endemic species, including the St Lucia parrot and the St Lucia warbler. Book in advance and a knowledgeable forest ranger will take you on a tour. There’s also a scenic 2-mile loop hiking trail that alternates between thick forests and wide-open hilltops.
