Mount Liamuiga Volcano Hike

A view of the crater lake
Try our full-day,  Volcano Safari, and experience a rugged hiking adventure that offers unparalleled scenic opportunities of our beautiful island home, as well as an exciting off-road, cross country drive.

After picking you up from your hotel or cruise ship we drive for about an hour from the Basseterre area, following the coastal road past Brimstone Hill National Park.  At Belmont Estate, on the far side of the island, we leave the coast road and travel up through swaying fields of sugar cane, to the trail head, at 1100 feet above the sea.

On arriving at the trail head we eventually hike through the lush, protected rainforest of the Central Forest Reserve, 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 the volcano crater rim you will enjoy a delicious, picnic lunch while resting amidst the dwarfed 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 with its mile wide crater.

On returning to the Land Rovers at the foot of the mountain we celebrate the end of our challenging hike with an open rum and juice bar before returning home.
