Hiking in Antigua


There is a good number of interesting hikes in Antigua, whether in coastal areas or in the southern hills. Most are fairly easy, though some walks will take you to quite remote areas. 
As usual, be sensible, but there is not much in way of animal life on the island likely to harm you, and mobile phone coverage is generally pretty good.
After the wet months paths and trails become overgrown and faint, and might disappear altogether, swallowed by the vegetation.  Not only will your progress be more difficult but the likeliness of getting lost will strongly increase. You will never be very far from some sort of road, but progress can be very slow in overgrown tropical forest. A machete will help.
The hikes listed in the drop down menu above are a small selection of very conventional walks, that can be undertaken by any able bodied person.

Or just click on the links bellow:


  • Around Shirley Heights:   Desmond's & Carpenter Trail       Shirley Main Road           Jones' Valley Trail
  • Around Wallings Dam   :   Wallings Dam to Signal Hill            Wallings dam to Rendez Vous Bay & Falmouth 
  • The Goat Track (Middle Ground trail)
  • Monk's Hill
  • Sugar Loaf Hill
  • Mount Obama
  • Mount Mc Nish
  • The Body Pond Valley
  • West Antigua Map

There are quite a few more walks that should be  very interesting, such as Hamilton Dam, Carlisle to Rendez vous, Sage Hill, walks around Half Moon Bay etc....

Please give feedback, so that we can expand the site and share the good spots with those interested enough to look them up!
