More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning opens with a coastal road that drops toward Soufrière and the Pitons, the sea pushing a cool salt breeze up the valley. Guests step from an air-conditioned vehicle into a landscape that still feels geologically recent: steam rising from Sulphur Springs, palms rattling above volcanic rock, and the twin cones of Gros and Petit Piton stabbing skyward.
