My family of four (54,54,23,21) wanted to do something off the beaten path during our cruise stop at Antigua. The four of us all wish we could have given MORE than 5 stars.
Let's start that the trail is a moderate+ hike, but sneakers were fine. The views were spectacular. What most impressed us was the emphasis on safety by Elvis. Some of our crew were a little less sure-footed than the others, and Elvis ensured we were all safely traversing the trail. There was never a rush for us to move quicker.
More impressively, Elvis opted not to take us around the rocks to the Pillars themselves, because the sea was too rough. Watching the water come in waist-high, he got no argument from us with that decision, but we could tell he was genuinely disappointed it wasn't safe.
However, the true highlight of the trip was Elvis, our guide. He was incredibly well-versed on the island's history, fauna, politics, and the entire trip was a learning experience. Of all tours we've been on, Elvis was easily the most outstanding guide we've had.
Had we made it to the Pillars, this tour would have been a 10/5. Instead it was only a 9.75/5, if you understand my meaning.
This is a must-do whether you are visiting by land or by sea (and ask for Elvis).

What an amazing hiking adventure without guides Rodney and Kemar. Our hike was the challenge we were seeking but there were a number of stops for quick history lessons, fruit sampling and of course photos. We covered every possible terrain and was rewarded with incredible vista's and landscapes. Antigua is a beautiful island and this hike will give you a taste of its preserved beauty. Highly recommended. Sign up!!!.

This hiking adventure was amazing! Our tour guide was Elvis or Evan (I can’t remember his name). He was very patient and nice as he showed us around the island and told the history so well. There are a lot of great views, and this hiking tour brings you all the way to the highest point of the island! 500 ft. Wear comfortable shoes that have grip because you can fall. If you don’t mind burning some calories, take this hike. Well worth it 10/10

Let me tell you about the hike I did with Jashan to the Pillars! EXCEPTIONAL! She has extensive knowledge of the hiking trails and the island of Antigua. I have recommended her to all of my friends for their visits to Antigua! Thank you so much Jashan! We can’t wait to see you on our trip back 😊

Jeshan and Elvis made this an AMAZING adventure. Jeshan is a wealth of knowledge from sharing information on foods, the history, and celebrity info. She took some amazing pictures for us while giving us plenty of time to just take in the breathtaking views. Jeshan was on time and ready to go right away. Thank you for kick-starting our vacation.

What an awesome experience today was! Our tour guide, Jeshan, was incredible. She skillfully detailed the breathtaking landscapes and points of interests with her knowledge of the history and of the natural resources of this beautiful island. We even got to sample some dragon fruit! This excursion is a definite must for anyone visiting Antigua!

Cannot recommend this hike more, we loved spending the morning exploring Antigua by land. Our guide was Jashan and she was fabulous! We loved learning the history of the area during the hike. She took pictures for us to remember the trip by and was just so fun to spend the morning with. Absolutely a wonderful experience!

Highly recommend this fun and interesting hike. We saw a side of the island we wouldn’t have seen at the resort. Rodney was a terrific guide; he was fun, knowledgeable, and a welcome addition to our holiday.
