What a challenge, we were on a time crunch and had to haul buns. Luckily, we had an expert guide to schlep us up to the crater. It was a unique experience. Def. recommend. More

My husband and I are used to hiking in the Rockies. Even then its a steep climb, but not a scramble. There are many manmade steps which makes it more difficult for people with shorter legs. This hike reminded me of Mt Kilimanjaro with the numerous microclimates that you pass through. Very Beautiful with lots of rainforest/ Bamboo trees/flowers and... More

Hiked La Soufriere on Saturday, August 16th, 2008. It was a gorgeous day with very few clouds. Our guide from HazEco was late, but no problem - we had adjusted to island time as our Liat flight arrived 3 hours late the day before. The hike is very strenuous and required much more effort than I imagined even though I... More

Been to the La soufriere back in 1995 and it was great fun. Went back recently and it was not fun at all because: 1. You muct check the weather forecasts before you go. There is always a bit of mist in the mountains, but if its a really poor day then you wont see anything at all in the... More

Go to La Soufriere ! I stayed on Bequia a couple years ago and was dying to see the volcano and more than just the tourist version of SVG. I was not dissappointed. After taking the ferry from Bequia at 6 AM, we met our guide -- HazEco Tours -- at the docks in St. Vincent. Certainly a place you... More

The trail's well marked all the way up. Once at the top, you can go right for another 30-40 mnt hike along the rim to a lake (NOT the one in the crater) for a refreshing swim if you come prepared with bathing suit, towel, etc. You can also go left along the rim - better trail - for more... More

The hike up La Soufriere may seem endless and exhausting, but looking down into the crater is well worth the trip. The trail is very clear until you reach the crater rim, where it branches in many directions. A rope-assisted climb down into the crater offers an up-close view of the lava dome and a patch of steaming sulfur, as... More
