The experience
The hike starts at your hotel or cruise port, where a driver picks you up in an air-conditioned vehicle and takes you to the trailhead. From there, you walk the route of your choice (some trails climb to ridge views, others loop through forest or along the coast) with a guide who knows where the footing is solid and where the scenery opens up. The whole outing runs about three and a half hours from pickup to drop-off, which means you can fit a full hike into a cruise day or a morning before the rest of your plans.
What sets this apart from a bus tour is the walking itself. You move through the landscape instead of watching it pass a window, which is the whole point Trek Tours makes at the start. The guide leads. You choose the pace within the trail difficulty you picked. Water and park entry are covered, so there's nothing to arrange on the day except showing up ready to move.
Signal Hill and Carpenters Rock are the steep ones. They're marked hard for a reason. Fort George-Monks Hill is medium, with real elevation but steadier footing. The other options are easier, which doesn't mean flat. It means the climb is gentler and the walk is shorter. Pick the one that matches how you like to move through a place, and the guide will meet you there.
Is this one for you?Pick this if you want to walk through Antigua's scenery rather than view it from a vehicle. Choose your trail based on how steep a hike suits you.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (8 to 12 years): free. Children under 8 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What's the difference between the Signal Hill hike and the Fort George-Monks Hill hike?
Signal Hill is marked hard and climbs steeply to ridge views. Fort George-Monks Hill is medium difficulty with a steadier grade and shorter overall distance. Pick Signal Hill if you want the challenge and the high vantage. Pick Fort George-Monks Hill if you want real hiking without the steep push.
Do I need to be in great shape to do one of these hikes?
Trek Tours says you need at least a moderate level of fitness, and you don't need to be an athlete. The guide picks the pace and you walk at what works for you. If you have heart or lung concerns, check with your doctor first: the operator notes these hikes aren't recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health.
What happens if I'm arriving on a cruise ship?
Cruise port pickup and drop-off are included, so the driver meets you at the port and brings you back in time for the ship. The three-and-a-half-hour window is built around cruise schedules.
What do I bring, and what's provided?
Bring water-resistant shoes, sunscreen and a hat. Trek Tours provides bottled water, covers the national park fees, and handles all transport in an air-conditioned vehicle. Food and drinks beyond the water are on you.
Can I choose a different hike on the day, or do I need to pick one now?
You pick your trail when you book: Signal Hill, Carpenters Rock, Fort George-Monks Hill, Hike N Zip, Hike N Snorkel, Hike N Swim, Hike N Drive, or Hike N Spa. Each option pairs the hike with a different second activity, so choose the one that fits your day.
