8.Guided Morning and Sunset Hikes

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

You’ll hike Antigua with an English-speaking local guide on a 210-minute morning or sunset outing. Choose Sugar Apple, Mango, Tamarind, Stinking Toe, or a custom route. Expect tropical plants, birds, fruit, historic ruins, high viewpoints, and round-trip transport.

“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.”
