Near Soufrière, Sulphur Springs is a geothermal area of bubbling pools and steaming fumaroles inside a collapsed caldera. A viewing platform overlooks the vents, and below, warm mineral mud pools let you take a famous mud bath.

The smell of sulphur is strong, so bring old swimwear.

Tips

  • Wear dark swimwear you don't mind staining
  • Rinse off in the nearby waterfall pools
  • Remove silver jewellery
