This is a must visit! We visited while on an excursion and loved it so much we went back two days later. The volcano is incredibly cool to see, guides were informative on the history & how the volcano works. The mud bath is so soft and our skin still feels great. A couple vendors outside too. Without a tour there it was quiet and peaceful, absolutely a great time!!

Such a unique and unforgettable stop! I didn’t do the official tour, but I was still able to walk through the volcanic area, stop at the interpretation center, waterfall along the way. Being that close to the hot, bubbling springs was surreal; and yes, the scent of sulfur fills the air and adds to the whole atmosphere. But the absolute highlight for me was bathing in the mineral-rich hot springs. I covered myself in the sulfur mud and soaked in the naturally heated pools, which sit at around 100°F. It was heavenly!!!My skin felt unbelievably soft and refreshed afterward. Days later, my skin was still sooo smooth. Like a natural spa treatment straight from the Earth. It was so good, I ended up coming back for a second visit. There are also souvenirs available at the entrance if you want a little keepsake. Truly a must-do experience if you’re visiting the island!

Such a stinky experience! And well worth it. The mud plastered all over us followed by a hot bath was refreshing and soothing. Wish I lived close enough to do this on a regular basis. Don't miss it!

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! When we got to the baths and mud, it was a little overwhelming with the number of people, but we still didn’t have to wait at all. You don’t actually get into a mud bath. You get into the sulfur baths, then right when you get out of the water, you can spread the mud all over yourself. It takes about 10 minutes for it to dry completely. Then they have black mud that you can decorate with or you can leave a tip with one of their artists for them to create a design on you. I was really uncomfortable with someone I don’t know touching me like that, so he offered to just give me black splatters by flicking the mud on, which I thought was very considerate and still allowed me to be a part of the fun! After you take your pictures, you can get back into the hot Springs and rinse off the mud. Our skin was soooooo soft after!! we really had a great time here

This was a really great experience that everyone who visit St. Lucia should consider. We got there around 10am and I strongly recommend getting there early to beat the crowds. My skin feels super soft after the mud bath.

Our butler at sandals got us a private tour to these springs and a waterfall! The spring is hot, the calcium and mud makes your skin soft! Highly recommend the experience

It was a hot mess tourists trap. Sooooo packed with three little man made pool jam packed with every tourist they could find. I wouldn’t recommend it. We decided to skip it and drink a beer instead.

A very beautiful walk through the gardens with a large variety of local plants and fauna. Lizards, hummingbirds and other animals can be seen as you walk through the grounds. The falls and river have volcanic ash/sulphur which give it the grey appearance.

I came upon this place taking a wrong turn while exploring St. Lucia. I love wrong turns in the right places. If you love exploring and looking for a serene inexpensive place learn about the vegetation, fruits, minerals, check this place. Also, bring your swim gear and soak in the mineral bath. I left out bath pics intentionally. You must visit.

Peaceful botanical gardens filled with lots of gorgeous plants, birds and trees. The waterfall was lovely to watch and listen to. There are some information plaques around the gardens, but not many. Entrance fee is reasonable, $35. Cash only. There is a shop selling souvenirs and refreshments, some pools to bathe in (although these didn't look very inviting), changing & bathroom facilities are available. Walking at a very slow pace, it took us 1-1.5 hours to see the whole garden.

Beautiful botanical gardens, it can be explored on your own or with a guide. There is a good variety of all sorts of plants. It is possible to see the waterfall which has different colours due to the different minerals from the volcanic water. There are mineral baths as well, but not very inviting, as the pools don't have much privacy. Recommended

If your into nature, this is a place to visit. Not large but has a wide variety of plants, flowers and trees. Has a small waterfall towards the back. Not a fan of the touristy hot bath, that you have to pay extra for, but to each their on. Entrance fee is $7.00 US. You can get a guide, not sure if that is an extra cost or not. I just walked at my on pace and enjoyed myself.

Absolutely wonderful place! Nestled in the rainforest, wonderful garden and beautiful waterfall. We're returning to Soufriere in June and will definitely be visiting the garden and falls again 😁

The gardens are really lush! But they are very insistant about you taking a guide and buying bracelets at the end. The baths weren't really hot

A must do to get some stunning views of the Pitons! The hike is fairly easy, but use the guide to gain insight into the locale and support the community. We had Felix take us on our hike and he was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and took great photos of our group!

This nature trail is quite easy to do when compared to the gros piton trail. The views are equally beautiful, from here in fact you get a different perspective of the pitons, specially the Petit piton. At the top of the stairs for heaven it's where you gonna get the wow feeling! Absolutely astonishing. In here there is a small shop, so you can have a drink while contemplating the view. Highly recommended.

We drove and parked here on Wednesday, Oct 1 around 9:30am. We were the only ones on the hike until we were descending. The cost was $10/pp. we hiked it on our own. The hike is a loop that took less than an hour and easy to navigate. The first 15-20 min is uphill with stairs but mostly in the shade. There’s a vendor at the top selling refreshment and souvenirs but not pushy. The view was gorgeous and hike back down was easy.

A must do hike for all abilities if you are nearby! Gentle walk that only needs trainers at trail is well maintained - and with views just as beautiful as from at the top of the pitons! Easy parking with cute dogs and friendly staff. Guides available, but I went alone - could probably have completed in half an hour, but sat for a few moments of peace at each viewpoint taking it all in!

The Tet Paul Nature Trail in St. Lucia is a short but spectacular hike offering panoramic views of the Pitons, Soufrière, and even nearby islands like Martinique and St. Vincent (my home).It’s often called the “Stairway to Heaven” because of its breathtaking vantage points. - Cost: Entry is around $10 USD or 10EC (for locals) per person, with guided tours..I highly recommend Shervin as your tour guide as it would be an enjoyable one...he's so funny

What a magnificent view! The trail itself takes about 1 hour to complete and costs $10 to enter. There is the option to hire a guide, but you can easily follow the trail alone if you prefer. The trail itself winds it's way up the hill and there are a few different points where you can stop and take pictures, but it's at the top where you'll be dazzled by your incredible surroundings!

Enjoyed the moderate hike, very shaded but be prepared for steep inclines! The most beautiful views of the Pitons!

Hands down the best beach on the entire island! Don’t waste your time going to sugar beach, it’s small and over crowded. Make the trek up and down the rocky road for a private, clean, peaceful beach with two shower heads to wash off, 4 bathroom stalls— which the bathrooms are very clean and very nice, and with its own restaurant. Order the burgers or fish tacos from the restaurant. The restaurant is ONLY OPEN from 12-3 so make sure you get the order in by 230. Chairs on the left side of the beach are $66 for the day, chairs on the right side are for the people staying at the resort. $66 for the day is steep but SO WORTH IT. There’s 8 umbrellas with 2 chairs a piece, the most people that have been here on the left side was 3 couples (including me and my husband). No foot traffic, no getting hassled by people wanting to sell you boat rides, or other tours. You’ll occasionally get a party boat pull up and they snorkel off to the left side of the beach. My husband and I have been here since Friday 8/8 and today is 8/14– we’ve been to the beach 4 days in a row paying for chairs everyday $264USD because ITS WORTH IT. We went to sugar beach, La toc beach, vidgie beach, humming bird beach, and reduit beach and we came back here everyday. The people at the gate knew us by the 3rd day “back again?😇” Please don’t waste your time going anywhere else! ☀️🤌🏼🏝️🇱🇨

*VERY IMPORTANT* The road to get there is long and absolutely sucks. You must have a good car with proper suspension to make it there. It's probably the best beach on the island. Very few people and very quiet, so you get the full beach experience of sand, sun, waves crashing and ocean breeze. Beach chairs are owned by the resort, which costs $65 per chair if you want to rent them (despite them being mostly unused). Nearby bar/restaurant for drinks and burgers are available to non-resort guests. You pretty much get what's on the menu though, so if you're picky about what you want, it will be messed up.

Very nice peaceful beach, comfortable, great service and amazing view. Not so much people and very calm. Perfect for relaxing.

One of the most idyllic places I’ve ever been. Snorkeling at Chastanet is very good as well. Highly recommend this spot.

One of the nicest beaches in St. Lucia. Tucked away, so very quiet, but only about 10 or less walking from a car park. Also there is a really nice restaurant called Anse Chastanet. So after a good swim you can dine in this nice restaurant.

We visited as a day trip. Bring some lunch and a six pack of Peton’s. As an avid off-roader in California, the road to Anse Chastanet is not nearly as bad as other reviews. Broken, bumpy concrete but not slippy mud. It starts steep but is fine after the first 200ft. There is a large parking area on the left when you arrive at the resort. Be sure to assure the security you know to walk all the way north (right) because it sounded like they’re tired of day trippers expecting more. Once down on Anse Chastanet, keep heading north, you’ll arrive at a few concrete steps that lead to a flat gravel/dirt road, pass a small pier, and arrive at a gloriously under utilized beach and bar. The day user’s typically go past the two standing rock formations and you get it all to your self!!! We had a cocktail and utilized the picnic tables near the bar before we left, we felt welcomed there. Definitely do what we did.

One of the most private and beautiful public beaches I’ve ever been to! Definitely worth the long walk and even a long swim! Bonus, the burger place is awesome as well! Although a little bit overpriced.

Hum, average at best, it’s a small waterfall, the difference is you can get in the water and under the waterfall… we went at a quiet time and it was still busy. I would think at times it’s bonkers. The waterfall its self isn’t huge… and again if going from a cruise ship, the drive and trip over for half hour tops at the falls I thinks is hard to battle with, you might be able to spend your money more wisely or experience another opportunity while in St Lucia.

If coming in on a cruise, it's a longgg way from port, but a nice waterfall you can walk into and get a picture standing under it. Not "cold" water, but not exactly bath water either. Like all tourist type places, it gets busy, so go early

The earlier you go the better. We were totally alone. Don’t NEED a tour guide. Cooler water but amazing. Nice back massage if you stand under water. Nice after the mud baths to clean off more.

Nice big waterfall. Perfectly after the sulfur bath. The water is nice cold and refreshing. Changing cabinets are available. A small bungalow is there with refreshements and snacks.

Visiting the waterfall was an energizing and invigorating experience — the rush of water, the cool mist, and the sheer beauty of the surroundings made it absolutely wonderful

Love a waterfall and anything nature but way too touristy for me. Cruise ship excursions come from the sulphur bars and queue to get a photo under the water. Couple of changing rooms and lots of souvenir sellers.

A cool waterfall that you can stand under and get a picture at. It was a bit crowded as we arrived when there was a cruise ship excursion. But after they left it was a lot less busy and very fun and cool.

A very beautiful walk through the gardens with a large variety of local plants and fauna. Lizards, hummingbirds and other animals can be seen as you walk through the grounds. The falls and river have volcanic ash/sulphur which give it the grey appearance.
