The hot springs of Guadeloupe

Thanks to the presence of the Soufrière volcano, Guadeloupe – particularly the Basse-Terre region – boasts numerous hot springs where visitors can relax in water at the perfect temperature.

Set off on an adventure

You have two options: join an organised tour, or set off to explore on your own in a hire car. The areas around Bouillante, Gourbeyre and the National Park often involve a walk through lush vegetation.
