OK, let’s get something straight right from the beginning. The volcano on St. Lucia in Soufriere is named Qualibou! The volcano named Soufriere is actually on the neighboring island of St. Vincent. Confusing, yes, but we have the French to thank for that, since soufriere translates rather generically to “the sulfurer”.
Now that we’ve gotten that out the way, a trip to the Sulfur Springs National Park in Soufriere is a staple of St. Lucia excursions and something you simply have to do on your first trip to the island. I imagine every property that offers tours, offers a trip to this tourist attraction, but, of course, we like our excursions a bit more uncommon around here so we opted to go on our own and for our own reasons.
