Something memoriable on my 50th Birthday - climb a volcano. We made it to the rim of the crater in 1hour 45, guide book said it would take 2hr 30min. we had a young local guide, but there was a path the whole way. 1hour 15min back. loved it! such different vegetation, tropical rain forest & tree ferns.

Not an easy walk, but worthwhile the view when we got to the top. There is a track most of the way up, but near the top it turns into a scramble up the rocks. Friends of ours went a few weeks before and got a guide, they advised us that there was no need to get a guide. This was true, there was only one path up and we could take it at our own pace without a guide. We found getting there quite difficult, we caught a bus to Georgetown, but only managed to get to the foot of the volcano through the kindness of a lady who happened to see us wondering, but many resorts can arrange tours for you! A very pretty walk, definitely something to do if on the island!

yup theres a spot up there called elfinland, its mystic vortex up there, a bit of a hike but path is good make sure you have good strong comfy walking shoes and a rain jacket it can get pretty cold up there and may rain anytime, charge your camera battery.

The turn-off at the windward Highway is clearly signposted. Drive 3 miles to the end of the road and find a large carpark, ranger Office, and restrooms (closed when we were there). The trail is in good condition, lots of steps. The last ca. 20 minutes are stony and rough, however. Arrive at the vertical abyss (no fence) and enjoy a breathtaking view into the surprisingly big crater with its Little lake. At Age 67 and with Little Training, the walk took us 2 hours one-way. Younger People made it in 1 1/2 hours.

This a site for the Nature enthusiast. If you want to explore nature in a tropical rainforest whiles getting possibly the best cardio workout that could make Shaun T's "insanity" look like child's play, just try hiking up this sleep beast of a Volcano. Oh and don't forget, you can try running it. LOL. The view at the top is simple spectacular, its more than worth the trip up. You get to see both the windward and leeward sides of the island and an awesome view of the crater. I have been up the trial for about 9 times now, and I know I will make a few more.Its a lovely place to carry a group of friends who are visiting. I would however recommend that you do a trip like this, with some days after to spear. You will need some rest and recovery time.

I had visited La Soufriere last year, 2013. It is forest and almost 4-5 km walking in forest. We were in group of 20 people, we enjoyed. I was last to reach on the top, but after that i was very happy. Regarding way to volcano its all forest, there is one good stay after walking of 1 hour. Its river there, good place for rest. Than again walking and climbing, At one place there is stone and you have to very carefully, last 30 minutes were completely stone and you have to be careful. Best of luck for hiker. I not prefer to go again.

Go in the dry season. It is also advised to go with a guide which Richmond Vale will provide. The hike is several hours in duration, so make sure you take food and water.

This is a must do thing. Full stop. What you need to know:1) you do need a guide as the trail at places is not very safe and things happen, be safe.2) at the top it is much cooler, have something warm with you. 3) no matter how tired you are, ask your guide to take you inside of the crater, where there's a lake. You've come so far, you don't want to miss it; it's stunning. 4) everybody can do it. It may take you a bit longer, but you will get there, just take your time. Happy volcano climbing!

Best to do as part of a tour. You are taken by minibus to the base of the trail and the guide that we had was very knowledgeable about the area and looked out for all members of the group, adapting the pace accordingly. For us it was a hard three hour climb to the edge of the crater where the view was stunning both of the crater itself and the surrounding mountains, forest and sea. Fortunately the descent was much easier and quicker and was followed by an excellent meal in a local creole restaurant .

The ACTIVE volcano can be seen in the distance from many areas of St Vincent, dominating the skyline in a shroud of mist. If you want to climb to the crater, it is an arduous walk of about 4 hours taking a couple of hours to complete in sweaty humid conditions, so take water and a hat at the very least. It is worth it to look down 700 feet from the rim into the abyss of sulphur fumes and hissing steam. You could be looking into hell!The air smells different and the vegetation is much greener. The view is amazing. Unfortunately my camera battery was flat, but I have a brochure keepsake Charge your cameras!. I think the volcano was last active around 1979, but it is well monitored and eruptions are preceded by advance warnings so you will be fine!
