It's sad what happened to the Island and it's people but the volcano is majestic and beautiful. Worth the day trip over, we're contemplating coming back for a 4 day weekend.

We read all of the reviews about how this was a strenuous hike and thought, "We are active and fit people, we can do it!" Well let me tell you, the hike is a beast! Super fun and beautiful though. It was quite a sense of accomplishment when you are sitting at the top looking down at the crater. We had a great tour guide in Hilton from Poinciana Tours. He made it fun and manageable. There were many spots that were tough to navigate and super challenging. You literally are holding yourself up by ropes at some points and scrambling up slippery rocks and tree roots. Several times on the way down we just slid on our bottoms because it was too slick to walk. Don't wear good clothes because you will be dirty when you finish. My fitbit said I hiked over 11 miles in 5 hours so it's a great workout! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique adventure but is fit enough and agile enough to handle it.

This mountain may look innocent, but don't be fooled: it's really a volcano, responsible for the destruction of the town of St. Pierre.

You drive to the trailhead where there's a small cafe and washrooms. The trail starts right there, and it's 1:30 - 2:00 to reach the rim of the caldera, with spectacular views of St. Pierre harbour, and the N-NE coast of the island on your way up. Unfortunately, by the time we got there, the clouds had rolled in and we could see only bits and pieces of things from the top, through the clouds. It was clear at the top when we started (about 09:30), but cloudy when we go to the top (11:15). We should have started earlier - 07:00 would probably be good most days. Once you reach the rim, you can then continue to hike around the rim, and/or you can hike to an adjacent peak that's even higher. We didn't do either of those because of the clouds, though. This is a good hiking workout on a trail that's perfectly marked, and is mostly walking. There is a section of "bouldering" that takes 5 - 10 minutes, but the rest is walking and stair climbing over smooth rock, some rubbly rock, and a lot of steps that have been formed with lumber to help prevent erosion.

I am a 68 year old not so fit grandmother and I did it! The first part, about a third, is on gentle but steep paths through the the forest. Then there is a river gully and ropes and rocks and tree roots. A warning of things to come. I was scared. The next section is all woodland steep pathways with the tree roots providing foot and handholds. The ropes start to become more frequent as the pathways gets steeper. My son lives on Nevis and is a horticulturist so I got some brilliant stuff on species, habitat and special plant characteristics as a bonus. Later I wasn’t listening as I was either so tired or so scared or both. This stretch was muddy and steep. On the last third the gradient really jacked up and instead of tree roots it was mostly rocks and boulders. Nearly all the very steep parts had ropes to help the climb. There were quite a few 15 to 20 foot near verticals. Footholds in most places but the soil was clay and wet so slippy. I did the climb in running shoes as it’s all I had with me and I didn’t have gloves. It was fine and the running shoes gave flexibility. I swallowed my pride and just kept asking my son for stops. Take lots of water and energy food. My Fitbit showed 3000 plus calories. My son was great and kind and didn’t complain about the stops once. It’s me and my stubborn pride and competitiveness that’s the problem not him! Anyway just when i thought it was never going to end. It did. The summit is small. The footprint of my spare bedroom. It was cloudy so no view. There is a box there as others have described but the book inside was wet and spoiled. Note for someone to get a replacement? I’m not doing this again. Don’t want to push my luck. There is a second summit, the higher one with the trig point. My son went off and did that and it took him 40 mins. He said it was overgrown and therefore a bit dangerous as the drops on the edge of the path weren’t visible. I think the journey back down was worse than the way up in many ways. My legs were tired which makes it dangerous and we took a different turn low down so had a hike to the car along the road. Well he did. I sat at Poor Mans Bar and had a cold Guinness!

The highest mountain in the lesser Antilles is also a volcano and an important landmark of Guadeloupe's landscape.
Reviewed By wmccfp - Stuart, United States
We never made it to the top because Mother Nature got in the way with wind, rain, fog. Still the effort was satisfying and the occasional breaks in the weather allowed us to see spectacular vistas of countryside and the Caribbean. Not for the faint of heart but well worth the effort. As others have said this is a climb, especially the last portion, and coming down is definitely more difficult if the weather is bad. Good footwear, layers of clothing and water are a necessity.
8. La Soufriere Cross Country Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 138 reviews
The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail winds its way from sea level up to the top of the majestic La Soufriere Volcano (4048ft/ 1178m). Granite cliffs reach for the sky, giving way to sweeping valleys and deep gorges and eventually the immense volcanic crater. The walk to the crater is moderately difficult, and takes about two hours uphill from the windward side. The La Soufriere Cross Country Trail snakes across the width of St Vincent, and can be walked from either the leeward or windward coast. The total trail is approximately 9 miles (15 km) long and offers breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding land and seascape and close encounters with fauna.

My Wife and I had Fraser tours take us up the Windward trail and back down the same way. We are not hikers so the steeper portions were slightly challenging but the views and atmosphere well worth the effort. The crater is the destination but the whole experience is memorable. It's best to get to the top near midday otherwise the crater may be cloudy. We got lucky and it cleared up enough to take our pictures and enjoy the natural beauty. I would recommend a guide if only to keep you motivated and provide backup supplies. Remember to bring plenty of water! It took us 2.5 hours up and 1.5 hours down. Overall this is a wonderful experience in St. Vincent.

This is a one-way hike. You can either start from the valley (up from Anse Artelet / petit anse beach) or in the town by the beach. We started in the valley and it is around 1hour to the top. We went back down the way we came. You need to be in decent shape as the climp requires some scrambling on your butt / using hands to climb up some boulders. You can also hike down to Le Diamant town but then would need to go all the way back you came, so that is probably a 4 hour round trip. It was raining on / off when we went and a bit slippery but nothing too bad. We were in late 20s. If you are older or in less good shape would not reccomend if rainy / slippery
