OUR EXPERIENCE: Our hike leaders have over twenty-six (26) years’ experience in hiking and conducting tours into the rain forest of Trinidad & Tobago. Our Hike Master Mr. Laurence Pierre has been a member of the Trinidad & Tobago Defence Force for over twenty-four (24) years; his experience includes jungle navigation, handling snakes and other wild animals. He is highly trained and able to handle any situation that may arise.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE: A hiking adventure in the rain forest, swimming in the sea, cooling off under a jungle water fall, splashing through a mountain river, visits to remote caves to see the endangered oil birds and a wide variety of forest bats, witness the ancient ritual of giant Leatherback sea turtle nesting/ hatching on a secluded beach; easy walks in natural surroundings; moderate hikes in the rainforest; strenuous treks through wild country or very strenuous rugged hiking and overnight camping trips into the mountain rainforests of Trinidad.

 HIKE RATINGS: Easy (E) > Moderate (M) > Moderately Challenging (M/C) > Challenging (C)
