St. Lucia Mud baths


Recommended Posts

We did this as part of an island tour done by Serenity Tours and had a ball. It was stinky (sulfurous) and messy, but left us with super-smooth skin. Our guide was with us the entire time and helped us through the experience, watched our stuff, and took pictures for us. Afterwards, we went to the waterfall and got very well rinsed off, though the water there is cold, in contrast to the warm, silty water at the mud baths site.

Frankly, I think any travel around St. Lucia by car is pretty scary. Roads are narrow and winding everywhere once you leave the town area. I saw a picture of a couple at the mud baths just this week on another website that has an RCCL group. Looked like fun. Their tour guide had "painted" them with the mud.

We took a speed boat that dropped us at Souffrie (sp?), then got into mini buses to the mud baths and volcano. It was maybe a 10 minute drive, and not scary at all. We were one of the first groups there. Much faster by speed boat. We used Joy's Adventure Excursions.

Guardrails... compared to driving in many European cities, especially the Amalfi Coast, the roads here are a piece of cake.

Looking for opinions on the shore excursion to the mud baths. Worth the trip?

 

Yes! One of my best days in the Caribbean ever!

About 50min boat ride back. Stops at a couple of places for a minute or two.... you don't get off. Rum punch galore!!! ;p
