Tour guide:

This trip is guided by a professional volcanologist with first-hand knowledge about Montserrat's volcano.

During the past months, the activity at the active lava dome of Montserrats volcano has drastically increased and frequently produces spectacular glowing avalanches (pyroclastic flows).
VolcanoDiscovery invites you to join two volcanologists from our team to obseve this fascinating activity from close on our next eruption special trip. The tour will also give you an in-depth knowledge of the Soufrière Hills volcano, its past and current activity, the monitoring of the volcano by the local volcano observatory, an understanding of volcanic phenomena related to lava domes and deposits of explosive eruptions.
We have 5 days to explore the best viewpoints to watch the activity at day- and nighttime, as well options for scenic helicopter overflight(s) and boat tours (weather and activity permitting).
