7.Guided Morning and Sunset Hikes

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 3 reviews · 3h 30m · from $90

Choose a 210-minute morning or sunset hike through tropical mountain trails, with easy Sugar Apple, moderate Mango, challenging Tamarind, or very challenging Stinking Toe routes. Your English-speaking guide provides transport, water, and park entry. One guide, Dwight, has also tailored routes to include waterfront walks and hill views.

“Started ok, but the last third was a rock climb, which didn’t fit the description of a ‘mild to moderate’ hike. Walking up and down hills is no problem, but the end of this trek could only be classed as a challenge. Guide also took us the wrong way and we had to back track over very difficult terrain. Not recommended (by me). It should have been categorised correctly, it certainly wasn’t ’mild to moderate’. We will never book anything like this again.”
