- La Soufrière - La Soufrière is a stratovolcano situated on the northern side of St. Vincent. Standing at approximately 4,048 feet (1,234 meters) above sea level, it features a crater about 500 meters wide and 60 meters deep, offering a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and seascape. Visitors can enjoy a rich diversity of flora and fauna up close. The La Soufrière volcano has erupted in 1718, 1812, 1902, 1987, and most recently on April 9, 2021. This hike is suitable for the average hiker and is accessible from both the northeastern (Windward) and northwestern (Leeward) sides of the island. Hiking from the Windward side, the tour takes about an hour from the capital, Kingstown, along the scenic eastern coast, passing through agricultural farms on the way to Bamboo Range, where facilities such as parking, washrooms, and gazebos are available. Starting from Bamboo Range, it is a 4 km hike to the summit and a 4 km hike back, which typically takes an average hiker 2 hours to ascend and 2 hours to descend.

- The hike starts from 387 meters (1200 ft )to 965 meters (3196 ft ) It can be cold at the top at times especially on a cloudy, windy, rainy day so I recommend you take along a windbreaker or rain jacket also a change of clothes for when you finish is a good idea because you will either be wet from sweat or rain
- Please note: there’s an entrance fee every guest have to pay (entrance fee only payable at the trailhead office) (located at the trailhead)
- we require a minimum of 2 persons for the La Soufriere Volcano Tour. If you’re solo, please reach out to us and we can check . Thanks for understanding!
- We typically only pick up guests from Kingstown and surrounding areas for the La Soufriere Volcano tour (Windward Trail). Pickup at Sandals St. Vincent and the Grenadines would be outside our standard range, and would likely incur an additional fee.

Great hike and island tour - Great island tour by AC van before and after the hike. The path was very well maintained and our guide pointed out many things along the way. The hike was as expected, approx 4 hours total and the crater views were spectacular.

Great Lavaman tour to Soufriere - Great tour with Lavaman. The tour started early which we prefer (before it gets hot). Lavaman was a great guide - we really enjoyed the tour to La Soufriere.

La Soufriere - I'm over 50 and was not ready for this hike. My husband encouraged and pushed me all the way through. Our guide, Lavaman, was professional and informative. He was patient with me as it took forever for me to go up and down. The views and experience were spectacular. My husband and son loved the adventure. I would recommend this hike for someone more fit than me.

You would climb on the volcano? Lava Man is your man!!! - We contacted Lava man without any complications using his phone number, and he was courteous from the start, taking care of everything. Starting with the pickup directly from the cruise terminal, we were driven to the beginning of the hiking trail in a clean and comfortable car. Upon arrival, we received snacks, fresh fruit, and water to energize us for the journey ahead. He stayed close during the hike, ensuring our safety as he guided us uphill. Additionally, we learned interesting information about the flora and fauna along the way. He is a genuinely nice person, and we shared many laughs. We highly recommend this adventure to everyone. The hike is not for beginners, but with Lava man, you'll make it to the top with 100% confidence. Thank you, Lava man, for everything, and we hope to see you again someday.

Best of the best - I have gone to the volcano many times but this experience with Desron(Lavaman)was by far the best. Hiking a volcano can be very scary especially an active volcano that erupted recently but start to finish Desron made me feel very safe and comfortable there was no doubt in my mind at all. We took about 2 hrs to hike up and it was at my pace all the time he is very patient and that I like because I’m not an expert in hiking every step of the way he made sure I was feeling okay and that I was good.As we got to the top it was a bit foggy but as we entered into the crater it cleared a little and the views were amazing. I can say I got the full experience with Desron(Lavaman) the mud baths was one of my favourites and even seeing where the eruption in 2021 occurred was mind blowing. This experience made it clear to me that he has genuine love and respect for nature and for what he does. I would definitely go to the volcano to hike again and I would definitely recommend Lavaman.

TOUR IS AVAILABLE - THIS TOUR IS AVAILABLE. Although TripAdvisor said it was unavailable, we contacted Lavaman directly at 1 784 454 5999 to schedule our tour. You can also email him at [email protected]. I concur with all the other reviews. It was an amazing experience that my husband and I will remember throughout our lifetime.

Amazing experience! - If you’re looking for the perfect person to take you up Soufriere your search is over! Lavaman is absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. He picked us up from our hotel at 6am, to ensure we got there with enough time to hike and before any other tours. He provided a delicious, healthy breakfast (a local lunch was also included) and off we went. The hike up took just less than 2hours, and it was great listening to all of his stories. When we arrived at the top, the visibility was poor so he took us around to the other side, and actually into the crater. What an experience this was! No other guide on the island is experienced enough to do this. In fact, most other guides are just taxi drivers who want to make an extra buck. My advice: ignore these guys and go with Paradise and Lavaman, you won’t regret it!

Not safe, and very mentally unstable guide - First in the morning the guide that calls himself lavaman wanted to put 9 people in an eight person minivan. I objected and said it was not safe as there were also kids going on yhe tour and he became aggressive. I was calm and said he should book another taxi which he did. He went alone in this other taxi leaving his guests in the first taxi. He talked to himself loudly like a mentally unstable person.
The hike went fine but he did not say a word to anyone and did not wait for slower participants unless he was told to.
After the hike he wanted more money in cash for an unspecified tax? We all refused topay as it was stated everything was included. He snapped and talked loudly to himself and screamed at me and random people.
This person should get help and not be able to tun tours until he is stable.

Best find another guide - Most unprofessional service we ever got. I just happen to stumble on this page cuz me and the family are visiting Svg again. The vehicle this guy transported us in smells like athletes foot and wet dog and to make matters worst he left us behind on a trail we were not familiar with. 0/10
