Hiking our enchanting tropical forest leads you to trails that start at aerobic and go up to extreme. There is no easy here. To get more than a healthy skin glow and athletic feeling, go with our trail guides.

THE TRAILS

The trails start in our forest, Centre Hills, but do not all end there. They may lead to Jack Boy Hill, our look out point; or to Rendezvous, our only white sand beach; or to a bird’s eye view of the island. Whatever the journey’s end, know there are rewards along the way.
