The Sulphur Springs, or the ‘world’s only drive-in volcano’ is a short distance from Soufriere. You pay, drive in, park and an official guide will take you around and give you a brief introduction. Although there are ample signs, if you still get lost, follow your nose--the smell of rotten eggs (hydrogen sulphide) is strong.
There were about 20 or so steaming vents with bubbling water, and the guide explained that during full moon with high tides, the vents actually form geysers. The area is filled with ash that has subtle colors, depending on the specific mineral deposits present in it. Apparently, this is classified as an active volcano, and there are four monitoring stations around it.
While we were walking around, exploring the area, we heard some children at play. When we finally saw them, it was unreal–-about four to six kids were splashing in a little natural pool made by a waterfall, tucked away in an area surrounded by the thick rainforest. We saw the sight from a bridge, and with the late afternoon sun streaming through the tree canopy, it was a scene straight out of childhood fantasies.
