It was incredible even the rain helps this experience! It was a very special not easy hike! And the top was with a big sunshine just for us!
Once in a lifetime experience if you are up for the challenge, do not miss out! Pack extra water and some energy snacks. Highly suggest wearing pants and shoes you don’t mind getting trashed.
This is a hike yes but also very much a climb. There are points where you climb walls of rocks, scale sides of dirt mounds using tree roots for safety. Jerry the guide was very patient with our 17-year-old who was getting altitude nausea.
Driving through the island was definitely part of the experience.
Great hike! Even in the rain was very fun and worth the summit! Pick up from the Marriott was smooth and easy - Jay and Marle were great! Our group was very small, it was just my wife and I and another young couple with our guide. We completed the hike in just under 4 hours. We would call ourselves average fitness level midwesterners - we hike when we travel 1-2 times a year. We have done hikes in Colorado, the Grand Tetons, Hawaii, Camelback in Arizona, etc. This was a fun challenge and a nice workout. It was a very rainy morning when we started our hike which made the trail quite muddy and slippery. Wear good shoes you don’t mind getting muddy :)
The guide canceled a few minutes after our hotel pickup was scheduled. Guide stated no other participants signed up and had intended to cancel earlier. Unfortunately we don't have a flexible schedule. Very disappointed and unprofessional.
Great hike. Jay was fantastic! Very strenuous, but the view at the top was amazing! Highly recommend!
Very strenuous, must be in shape. Lots of tropical plants. Beautiful scenery. Views at the top are incredible. Our tour guide Marle was excellent. If you enjoy hiking, this is a must do!
Such an unexpected, fun hike. I’m leaving this review well over a year later but remember what a great workout it was. I was 65 at the time but am a regular hiker and work out a few
days a week.
It’s a challenge so I believe you should be in decent shape or young enough to just push through.
We were on a cruise ship and I can’t recall if the ship didn’t offer this excursion, it was fully booked, or just pricier.
Our upcoming cruise stops in St. Kitts so I plan on doing this hike again.
This is NOT a hike or a trail. This is a climb up rocks and exposed tree roots. Be prepared for a multi hour long 3 mile up climb and then a 3 mile descent. It would have been nice to have a guide who offerred encouragement rather than words like 'you fall alot'.
Unless you are in amazing physical condition skip this activity
This was one of the most memorable excursions of our trip to St. Kitts. Be prepared: this is a REAL hike, not a casual stroll. It was steep, muddy, intense, and absolutely beautiful.
The reward at the top was unbelievable — stunning views into the volcano crater and lush green mountains everywhere.
Our guide Jay was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, encouraging, and incredibly attentive the entire hike. He made sure we were safe, pointed out difficult and slippery sections, helped us choose the right footing, took photos for us, and kept great energy throughout the day. He also handled the busy trail traffic from cruise ship groups really well.
At the end of the hike, he even bought us a drink, which was such a thoughtful gesture after a long climb.
Also, shoutout to our driver Dan, who got us there and back safely with some very “enthusiastic” island driving skills 😂.
If you enjoy adventure, nature, and a challenge, this excursion is absolutely worth booking. Huge thanks to Jay for making it such a positive experience. I truly hope he has an amazing future ahead of him.
Smooth pick up - crew was friendly and brought us to a good snorkeling spot along the reef - saw lots of fish and felt safe the whole time as a family with 2 kids 6 and 8. Only ding was not having a proper life jacket for our older kid - only for little kids so it was too tight.
Tough hike, but views at top were worth it. Very unique experience. Our guide, Jay, was great - a mix of kindness, patience, and encouragement!
This climb is uphill most of the way (for 2-1/2 hours!) and a full body workout, hiking, climbing, and pulling yourself up over tree roots and rocks/boulders (5 miles round trip). My husband and I are 69/67 yrs., in pretty good shape, work out, and have hiked some challenging hikes, but this one was tough. The last section to top was a steep climb up large rocks. It had started to rain and another guide coming down said there was no visibility, and given that and our fatigue we chose not to finish. Rain made the decline slightly more slippery to navigate. Still it was a fun story to tell friends about, and no regrets. Every muscle in my body hurt for two days! I highly recommend if you’re young-ish and in great shape. A friend shared their pic of the top. Beautiful! Our guides - Jay and Quini - were excellent and offered help over some tricky sections. They were very personable and we enjoyed our conversations.
This is not a beginner hike. It’s fun. It’s longer than you think it’ll be. And it was worth it. Tour guide was very helpful climbing up and over all sorts of roots, rocks, and dirt.
great experience! not an easy hike. Plan on being in good shape and proper foot ware! the guides were friendly and offered water and chips. Grab more than one water! I had two and wish I had three. Beautiful views from the top. Would do it again
Like others said, strenuous and technical here and there. But if you're in ok shape you should be fine. The guide helps and warns when needed, so no worries. Recommended!!
Great hike, steep terrain, muddy and lots of roots and rocks. If you're a casual hiker, and don't want to slow down the frpup- this is not for you. Guides were outstanding, though the trail is well marked.
Jay was great very understanding of our groups time crunch and still led us to the top in great time! Super helpful & knowledgeable on the hike! Will definitely recommend!
It was a very challenging hike! Like stop and catch your breath every 20 minutes and take fuel with you…protein bar and Gatorade!! We do not hike often so it was hard, but great feeling when we finished! Jay the guide was so smart and great! If you are looking for a challenge this is it!

Challenging, like other reviews say. View and hike is worth it. Guides were great about stopping periodically, keeping and eye on people and encouraging them. Be realistic about whether you can do a rigorous hike. Slippery, lots of rocks and roots and steep sections, but totally doable if you're in decent shape.
This is NOT a moderate hike it is a difficult hike. Its all body parts on deck. You will need your hands, you will get dirty, you will wonder "what have I done?" but its a good hike. Make sure you have your own medical just in case. Bring: climbing gloves, wear long workout pants (scrapes are a thing) and stretch a lot that morning. Do not do any leg workouts of any kind two days before, this is an endurance hike. I would do it again and make sure I was more prepared though. Goodluck!
My wife and I are avid hikers and have been to at least 10 USA national parks specifically to hike and this was the most difficult hike we have ever done and it was totally worth it. Wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty and expect to spend a fair amount of time being on all fours to get up the many rock and root scrambles. The tour guide J was so nice and fun and really made sure everyone was doing alright and that we would make it back to our cruise on time occasionally yelling "you guys are moving like you want to miss your boat". The tour ran on time and we made it back to the boat with plenty of time to spare. Would recommend this hike to any adventurous travelers who aren't afraid of some hard work and some dirt
We are avid hikers and this one is tough but well worth the effort. Recommend hiking boots because can be muddy and slick. J is an excellent guide who kept us on pace and super friendly. Gorgeous view at the top. Pack your own snacks-they only offered potato chips at the end. We needed protein bars and nuts.
Extremely challenging hike. Should not considered bringing kids under 12 years old. Transportation to and from the hotel to hiking was convoluted and took over an hour. Glad we did but chooses a different tour operator.
Pick up was not organized and they did not realize we were at a hotel not the port.
The guides pushed everyone to walk fast despite how difficult the terrain was
One of the guides was frequently grabbing my 24 year old daughter inappropriately. To clarify she did not need help. She is an experienced climber
This tour was VERY overbooked. 30 people when there should have been 10
There was little to no instruction or information about the hike or anything for that matter
Snacks were Doritos or plantain chips, not great for a 5 hour hike
Water was only given at the bottom and you were expected to carry it yourself
Would definitely NOT recommend this group
The hike/climb itself was challenging hence the difficult grade! There are 4 stages and each one was unique, stage 2 was the hardest and longest but knowing you're halfway there helped motive you to finish. Our guide, Jay, was friendly and would stop if asked, otherwise he just kept moving.
Now the disappointing part, we finished at 1:45pm and were told the driver would be waiting for us when we finished. We waited 45 minutes before pushing Jay to get some answers as our cruise was leaving at 4pm. After the 3rd phone call to the driver, who said he was close by (another 20 minutes waiting) I told Jay to call his boss for options. There weren't any and it's now close 2:50pm. We (4of us) decided to walk down the dirt road to the main road and see about waiving down a taxi. The driver finally showed up, drove like an Indy car driver to the port where we were dropped off at 3:30pm. We still had a ten minute walk back to the ship and had to jog, yes after strenuous 4 hour hike.
While we made it back in time (10 minutes to spare) it was a very stressful and for that reason I would say choose another company as management did nothing to solve the driver issue.
This was a memorable hike that may be strenuous at times but as well worth it for the views and fun. J and Gucci were awesome guides and make sure no one got hurt and everybody made it to the top. If you are in good shape and don’t wanna hit the gym for a day. I recommended it highly.
The hike is at a rigorous pace (to get you back to your ship on time!) and one where you will have to watch your step, get down on your knees to navigate steep tree root “steps” and mossy rocks. Our guide, Jay, kept an eye on everyone while pushing us forward to make sure we were on time. (We got back an hour earlier than when we told him we had to…which was two hours before the ship left!)
This is a strenuous hike not only because of the pace and altitude, but also because it’s a muddy, slippery, tropical environment. Almost all of the time you’ll be in tree coverage. Lots of climbing and scrambling!
They changed the meeting time and we felt rushed and did not have time to complete the hike. The transportation was a small car that smelled of weed and cigarettes. Three adults in a back seat meant for 2 there was not room to breath. They did not have enough water for everyone. We were handed off from man to man 4 times and it made us very uncomfortable. That being said they did get us back to the ship on time.
Jay and Fully were awesome guides, beautiful view at the top. The guides gave plenty of time for breaks and were super encouraging - it’s a tough hike but well worth it! Ensured we made it back to the port in good time Highly recommend.
This is NOT a leisurely hike! This is a very long 5 mile intense hike including climbing through narrow rocky terrain on all fours! Other reviews play the difficulty down. My husband and I hike and are fit & we did fine. But our guide gave very little information about the hike. I don’t know if he was either not knowledgeable or did not attempt to provide any information about what we were seeing. The area was a beautiful dense tropical forest. Our guides were quiet most of the time unless we asked a question. We had two guides, one in the front and one in the back they did not warn us of low hanging trees difficult areas. We had two minor injuries on the hike and the guide said he forgot first aid kit. We were lucky that no one else was injured more seriously. The guides were ill equipped.
To top it all off when we got to the peak it was completely cloudy so there was no view. But at that point, I was more worried about our safety getting back down the trail.
