Liamuiga Volcano Hike
 |
Try
our full-day Volcano Safari and experience rugged hiking adventure
that offers unparalleled scenic opportunities of our island home,
as well as an exciting off-road drive.
The drive out to start the hike takes an hour from Basseterre
and initially follows the coastal road past Brimstone Hill National
Park and then leaves it at Belmont Estate, on the far side of
the island, to travel up through the sugar cane fields to an area
1200 feet above the sea. |
| On
arriving at the trail head we hike through the lush, protected
rainforest of the Interior National Park to the Volcano Craters
rim, 2800 feet above the sea. This high mountain area lies cloaked
in a dwarfed cloud forest and overlooks what is often called a
"Giants Salad Bowl", the islands volcano crater, one
thousand feet deep and almost a mile wide. |
 |
Here on our narrow crater
rim enjoy a delicious, picnic lunch while resting amidst the lush cloud
forest from where there are spectacular views over our "quilted"
coastline below,with nearby offshore islands on the one side and on
the other the Giant Volcano Crater plummeting 1,000 feet to its floor.
A truly spectacular place to hike along the Craters' rim and enjoy the
unforgettable views it offers. On returning to the Land Rovers at the
foot of the mountain we celebrate our challenging hike with an open
rum and juice bar before returning home.

$90.00 us per person.
