Hike along the Sherkeley Mountains, and enjoy a dip in the turquoise-blue bay waters of Rendezvous Bay, and more on this guided tour in Antigua.

Take in stunning coastal views, hike by Walling's Dam along a famed mountain range, and more when you book this unforgettable guided hike-and-beach excursion in Antigua. Your scenic four-hour tour offers plenty of opportunities to take postcard-worthy photos of Antigua's spectacular coastlines and tropical terrain with a hike along Wallings Dam, where you'll get to admire its architectural excellence while hiking up a series of inclines. This exciting excursion also provides convenient water pouches, bottled water, roundtrip transportation to and from your meeting location, and an expert local guide who will take you along a light-to-moderate trail that ranges up the Sherkely mountain range to admire the rolling hills below. You'll even stop for a swim at Rendezvous Bay and get to take in the captivating Caribbean coastline, making this excursion perfect for beachgoers and hikers alike!

Start your tropical hike and beach adventure by meeting your knowledgeable guide at Heritage Quay Pier and boarding a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle that will take you on a 20 to 30 minute ride to Antigua's southern coast. Once you arrive, you'll get a water pouch to hold your belongings and water to quench your thirst as you begin your epic hike along the Sherkeley Mountain Range and Wallings Reservoir. You'll experience a challenging trail that takes you up various inclines, but the journey is worthwhile. Along your hike, you'll get to admire the iconic structure of the Wallings Dam and its spectacular architecture.

Continue your tropical adventure and get ready to capture the stunning beauty of the 700-plus acres of rolling hills that sit below the Sherkeley Mountain Range. This iconic mountain range stretches just over nine miles long and features panoramic views of the English Harbour and countryside views. It's even home to famous peaks, such as 1,198-foot high Signal Hill and 1,319-foot high Boggy Peak: Antigua's highest mountain peak that was once known as Mount Obama in honor of the United States' 44th president. Take in the calming aroma of lemongrass along this challenging trail as you enjoy coastal and bay views along this tropical trail.

Wrap up your guided hike and beach excursion with a stop at the famed Rendezvous Bay. Here, you'll find a relaxing beach that was once an important battle site between the French and English. Relax on its golden sands and catch stunning Caribbean coastline views or go for a dip in the beautiful bay waters for the perfect end to your guided excursion.

From enjoying a rainforest hike that takes you up a famed mountain to catch panoramic views overlooking rolling hills from thousands of feet in the air to relaxing at Rendezvous Bay, this guided hike combines a thrilling outdoor experience with a relaxing time on the beach. Book your island hike and beach adventure today and experience Antigua's beauty for an unforgettable time!
