SRDF confirms that Sulphur Springs and Jetty Fees to Rise as of June 1, 2025
SOUFRIERE, St Lucia — The Soufriere Regional Development Foundation (SRDF) has confirmed that entry fees for Sulphur Springs Park and the Soufriere Jetties will increase beginning June 1, 2025. The changes follow internal assessments and consultations with tourism stakeholders, and are intended to fund ongoing site maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and community-based employment.
According to SRDF, the revised prices reflect operational realities tied to preserving these heavily trafficked attractions, which are considered key drivers of Soufriere’s tourism economy.
The foundation emphasized that the pricing update was made following careful consideration of the long-term needs of both visitors and the local tourism workforce. The goal, SRDF noted, is to ensure a high-quality experience across all managed properties while reinforcing the positive impact of tourism on Soufriere’s development.
The new rates will apply to non-resident visitors, while local docking fees remain comparatively low. Notably, the fee to hike the Gros Piton Nature Trail, one of Saint Lucia’s premier ecotourism experiences, remains unchanged. For travelers planning their next island adventure, the Sulphur Springs and Jetties remain essential stops.
