At the intersection, turn left onto the road towards Kingstown (this is also known as the Windward Highway). Keep following this road for approximately 10 kilometers, enjoying the scenic views along the way. You will see signs for La Soufrière. The volcano will be accessible via a hiking trail. Make sure to wear appropriate footwear as the trail can be steep and rocky.

Bus
From Georgetown, locate the bus terminal which is usually near the market area. Take a bus heading towards Kingstown. Inform the driver that you wish to visit La Soufrière. The bus ride will take about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the drop-off point near the base of the volcano, you will need to walk to the trailhead. Follow the signs directing you to La Soufrière, which is about a 20-minute walk from the bus stop.
