La Soufrière is the highest point of the Lesser Antilles but also an active volcano in eruptive repose. An unusual hike on the La Soufrière volcano in Guadeloupe with family or friends.

Sulphur Springs and Weather

First, the weather is nice : the summit with its wisps of smoke and its breathtaking view.
Secondly, the weather is not nice. This enveloping fog creates magic. The smell of sulfur adds a touch of bad luck,
Third, it's rainy and windy. : Bravo! You faced that old lady like 80% hikers!

Hiking to the summit of the Lesser Antilles

Starting from the Bains Jaunes in Saint-Claude:

Les Bains Jaunes, Saint-Claude, the gateway to Guadeloupe National Park.

The walk begins at Pas du Roy, an old paved military road. You are in the heart of the humid tropical forest with its tall trees: white gum trees, acomat, bois bandé...

and we arrive at the Savane à Mulet.

On the slopes of the volcano

The real ascent then begins on the side of the volcano. The guide will lead you to the summit of La Soufrière in an area closed to the public. You will be equipped with a gas mask to tour the craters and active fumaroles.

Equipped with your respiratory protection masks to protect you from the gas emissions from the Soufrière volcano.

You've reached the summit of Guadeloupe's Soufrière, and your hike becomes lunar: the active part of the volcano's summit is closed to the public. A guide is mandatory to enter the closed area.

Children can hike from age 8.
The guides go to the summit by following the geologists' trail. If the weather permits, we'll do a loop at most.

During peak season, demand is high. Please consider booking when you decide to travel: I am booking online
