DISCOVER HIDDEN GEMS OF ANTIGUA

There is no doubt about it, taking to the hills by foot, or by bicycle is not only fantastic exercise, but gives you access to some of the most wonderful secret places on the islands of Antigua and Barbuda.

Hiking in Antigua can be extremely challenging with not only the heat and blazing sun to contend with, but the added complication of cassie which can either dig into your shoe, or can scratch you as you pass a seemingly beautiful looking plant, really 'make its mark'. Check out our flora and fauna pages for more information on what you will see when taking to the trails. Remember to wear a hat, put on sunblock and take plenty of water with you.

Enjoy the Antigua hiking trails whether discovering them by yourself, or with organisations such as the Environmental Awareness Group or the Antigua Hash House Harriers who organise regular hikes.

10 clients selected.

ANTIGUA HASH HOUSE HARRIERS Outdoor hiking party/group who take the the trails every other week to discover parts of Antigua rarely visited.

CARPENTERS ROCK TRAIL is a beautiful trail which leads up from Freeman's Bay in English Harbour up to Shirley Heights and the Lookout.

DETOUR BIKE TRAILS offers bike tours so you can experience Antigua 'off road'. Taking to the trails and tracks in many cases impassable by four wheeled vehicles, you will discover Antigua seen by very few people.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS GROUP (EAG) is a not-for-profit non governmental organisation focussed on raising public awareness fo the values of, and threats to, natural resources in Antigua and promote their sustainable management.

HIKES FROM WALLINGS DAM Once you are by the quiet of the dam, you will find a number of hikes which lead to some wondeful views from Wallings as well as on to Rendezvous Bay and Falmouth.

JONES VALLEY TRAIL a suprisingly shady walk through the forrest from Freeman's Bay up to Shirley Heights Lookout passing an old dam, a graveyard and a remains of the old barracks.

LOOKOUT TRAIL lives up to its name, with stunning views across English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour.

MIDDLE GROUND TRAIL takes you on a tour of the marine history of the area visiting Fort Berkley, Middle Ground and Fort Culyer as well as the gorgeous Nelson's Dockyard.

MONKS HILL AND FORT GEORGE TRAIL has one of the most wonderful and little visited views in Antigua. On this hike you will see English and Falmouth Harbour, Willoughby Bay, the airport and Sherkley Mountains in the West.

RENDEZVOUS BAY TRAIL This version of the trail takes you on a lovely circular trail from Falmouth, to Turtle Bay, Rendezvous Bay and back around to Falmouth.
