The experience

This trip strings together the Pitons, the volcano and a decent snorkel spot. You'll cover all of it by land and sea. Once the boat sets off, the pace doesn't let up. Your guide handles the route, the timing, the snorkel gear, and the stops, which means you're not negotiating taxis or hunting for lunch money while the sun moves across the sky.

The boat hugs the coast toward Soufrière, and you'll see Gros Piton rising straight out of the water before you actually land. Sugar Beach is where you get in the water (snorkel equipment is there waiting, no rental fees), and you snorkel among colorful tropical fish with the two Pitons on either side. There's also La Soufrière, the world's only drive-in volcano, which sounds stranger than it is until you're actually standing in a mud bath heated by geothermal vents, then stepping into mineral pools that feel like someone left them on the stove. Toraille Waterfall is another major stop, where you can stand beneath the cascade and take in the lush tropical surroundings.

Lunch is included (local food, not a sandwich from a cooler), and it comes with bottled water and alcoholic drinks. Bring a towel, dark swimsuit, sunscreen, and a camera that won't die halfway through.
