Nice area to take photos and see one of the unique geological sites of the island. We saw this site with an excursion that included a water fall stop and botanical gardens visit. Check at your hotel for these combo trips. Here locals sell snacks, drinks and soveniers at entrance. Everyone is pleasant and low key.

Sulphur Springs is at the top of a dormant volcano on the island. It took us about two hours of driving on winding mountainous roads to get there from Castries the capital city. There is a strong and sometimes overwhelming smell of sulphur in the atmosphere. The color of the exposed rocks vary from yellow to orange to brown. There... More

I really don't understand why people pay to take a mud bath with 500 people they don't know... I found the pool to be especially nasty... Not for me..

The actual volcano bit takes a little bit of imagination and the drive in part was a bit of a dissappointment, but its good to see an actual volcano close up. The best bit of this is the mud bath, cover yourself in volcanic mud, let it dry and wash off in a warm open air bath with water heated... More

This was a neat experience. I don't know that I would do it more than once on the same trip, but it was definitely worth doing. Your skin feels soft after the full-body mud mask.

Have you ever wanted to drive into a volcano? Well you can do that here. The ticket price to enter is $8 US each. We were accompanied by a guide named Johnny. He was a good guide and he told us stories about coming to the sulfur springs as a kid and how they used to cook food in the... More

Very reasonable, well worth a visit - Cover yourself in the volcanic mud and then rinse on the mineral baths. Nice afternoon x

Make sure you wear a dark bathing suit for this hands on experience as it will get stained (not easy to wash out completely in a hotel bathroom). Hot mud feels great and the sulphur bath is hot and soothing.

Get muddy and enjoy the rinse off...your skin feels great after. Warning: Your bathing suit and cover up will be ruined by the smell and staining so wear one you don't care about.

First you go on a tour of the volcano. Be alarmed it smells of rotten eggs but your guide will assure you. That you rather of it smell of rotten eggs then flowers. Then you see an amazing view of a waterfall and bath from decads.
