SPS Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Has anyone ever done the "Volcanic Mud Experience" is St. Lucia? My wife is interested in this excursion, but, wonders if the "sulfuric mud" as its described will be smelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenPinNC Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 My DH and I did this 3 years ago when staying in St. Lucia. It was a fun experience, and while I remember their being an odor, I don't recall it being something that would have kept me from doing the excursion. What I did wish I knew was to bring a cheap\old bathing suit you don't care about. The mud will permanently stain your suit. We were warned by fellow travelers a few days before, so we wore the oldest suits we had brought with us, but if I had known before we left home, I would have bought us cheap suits from Target before we went that we wouldn't care about throwing away. I washed our suits 3 times and the areas that were lighter in color or white (think edging on swim trunks) would not come clean and they had to be thrown away.

WAAAYTOOO Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I had looked into this a while back and I seem to recall seeing photographs of what looked to be a very narrow, very deep hole. It seemed to have a rickety-ass wooden ladder as the only visible means to get down. Am I thinking of something else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toodle68 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 We actually booked this on our last cruise but when we got closer to the day I relooked at the reviews. I believe it is a long drive to get there and the reviewed were just terrible. The thought of spending 4-6 hours (I can't remember now) for a 5 minute experience in a crowded tourist trap put us off.. so we stayed on the ship and had a great relaxing day.
