This guide brings you the most detailed information you will find on hiking trails on these islands. From easy walks along sandy beaches to rugged overnight hikes to quick uphill treks with stunning vistas en route, this guide has something to suit every member of your family. Walking times for each hike are given along with descriptions of the routes. Points of interest are highlighted and include plant and animal life you might see. An introduction to each island offers tidbits of the island's history, the locations of tourist information offices, air travel details, and hiking organizations you can contact ahead of time.

This unique guidebook covers every aspect of exploring these islands on foot, and conditions have never been better for Caribbean-bound walkers and hikers. Trails range through rugged mountains into areas with active volcanoes and cascading waterfalls. Excursions extend from one-hour town and beach walks to strenuous hikes that require the service of a local guide.
