Sulphur Springs Park

Get away from the holiday-making masses and head down to the southern part of the island. Here you can give the beach of Anse Mamin a try. Not far from Soufrière, this beach is one of the area's quieter spots to have a relaxing time and go for a soothing swim in the water.

Indisputably Saint Lucia's most iconic landmarks, the Pitons are a pair of volcanic mountains that rise up by the coast, looming magnificently over the nearby beaches. They are a wonder to simply admire from any of the surrounding spots, but for the more adventurous, there is also the option of climbing your way up Gros Piton's green slopes. Gros Piton is at 798 m of altitude, which might seem like a reasonably attainable goal for seasoned hikers. However, due to the heat and humidity of the rainforest, the expedition often feels lengthier and more physically demanding than what many climbers initially believe they have let themselves in for. Please make sure to be prepared. Once you're at the foot of Gros Piton you will be assigned a trained guide to accompany you. The route up the mountain includes caves, a rainforest, and two different summits with equally stunning views. A good 3 to 6 hours are required for a comfortable round trip to the summit and back; and it is preferable to climb Gros Piton during the dry season.

As the world's only drive-in volcano, Sulphur Springs Park in Soufrière is one of the island's main attractions. Visitors can go on a guided tour of the place and learn about the history of the volcano, before immersing themselves in the black water mud baths. These natural waters for bathing in have detoxifying properties and they also make for great family fun!

This hiking trail near the Piton mountains follows a wonderfully scenic itinerary from which you can admire a stunning view of the Pitons themselves, as well as other beautiful locations on the island. You can even catch a glimpse of the far away island of Martinique.
