About
Sulphur Springs, also known as the Drive-in Volcano, lies on Sulphur Springs Road in Soufrière, on the southwestern coast of Saint Lucia. It is presented as the world's only drive-in volcano, a claim that makes it an unusual stop on any island itinerary.
What you will see
The site sits inside a collapsed volcanic crater, where active geothermal springs bubble and steam across the landscape. Visitors can expect sulfurous hot pools and mud baths, and the air carries the strong smell of sulphur that gives the place its name.
Planning your visit
- Getting there: The site is reached by road from Soufrière town, along Sulphur Springs Road.
- Guided tours: Guided tours are available, which help make sense of the geothermal features around you.
- Contact: You can call +1-758-459-7686 for enquiries before you go.
Because the springs and pools are active and hot, it is sensible to follow the guides and stay on the marked areas. Soufrière itself is a small coastal town, so a visit here pairs naturally with time spent exploring the surrounding countryside and the waterfront.
