One of our toughest hikes, go early, pack plenty of water, we passed many who turned around, take your time watch your footing and enjoy the jungle. Lots birds, tree frogs we actually saw a mongoose and stray cats along the way.
Don't do if you're coming off of a cruise!

Came off of cruise and it took over 3 hours round trip to do this hike. The hike itself is over 4 hours. We were not informed about the length of this tour or that the entrance fee would be $100 to get in to the hike. Extremely long, unable to complete because of running out of time, and extremely expensive! Cab driver had to stop for gas, water for us which was supposed to be included and stopped at his home to drop off some groceries he bought.

'Not worth the money. You can take a taxi and you get a guide when you pay the entrance fee. Was promised a private guide but was told when we arrived that it was too crowded and we'd have to join a group. The taxi driver was helpful and advocated for us so they sent us with a 14 year old kid who basically walked ahead of us and didn't say anything. Still had to pay entrance fee of $50 per person so not sure what the $159 was for!
Fun climb up the Piton

Our driver was super knowledgeable and very entertaining. He also explained a lot about the island and the various areas we passed on the car ride there as well as back to our hotel. When we arrived we had our own tour guide. She was extremely nice and helped to guide us up and town the climb. As for the climb itself it is very challenging but we knew it was the one thing we didn’t want to miss. The tour guide and driver made our journey very pleasant and we are much appreciative.
