  • 4Tough but worth it

    We went on a rainy day. I’m not huge on hiking but also pretty fit, this hike was hard for me but so worth it at the end. Pickup was easy. Fruit & water was provided before the hike and lunch after the hike before drop off. My friend and I did fall going down a few times so be careful, specially if it’s wet out. We tried to keep pace with the guide as best as we could. It is worth it.

  • 5A grueling but rewarding hike

    Grueling BUT rewarding. Yes, it’s a challenging hike, but it’s so rewarding to witness the beauty of nature, from the various flora to the crater rim of an active volcano 🌋 with steam rising from it. Special shoutout to Lavaman for encouraging me along the way and making sure I completed the hike safely. He knows this hike and is well equipped to get you through it too. Some parts are steep, slippery, and/or overgrown, but again, it’s worth it to see it through to the end. Also, do dress appropriately as the higher elevation is noticeably cooler and windier than coastal/sea level St. Vincent.

  • 5Bragging Rights!

    Our trip to La Soufrière Volcano with Lavaman was an incredible experience! The pickup went smoothly, and you can immediately tell that Lavaman truly loves what he does. He was extremely knowledgeable about the volcano and the plants in the area. He was very patient with us throughout the hike. The climb was very challenging, but the experience was absolutely worth it. The views, the accomplishment, and the experience made every step worthwhile. And at the end of it all, you get the ultimate bragging rights! Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure! Highly recommend bringing some EarPods for music and playing when you feel you want to give up.

Kingstown lies on a curved bay on the south-west coast of St Vincent, with green mountains rising behind it and a harbour where inter-island ferries and cargo boats dock. Fort Charlotte, a British fort of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, stands on a ridge above the town with old cannon facing the sea and views along the coast to the Grenadines. In the centre, St George's Anglican cathedral and St Mary's Roman Catholic cathedral, in a mix of styles, stand close together.
