Mt Pimard Nature Trail Hike

My wife and I went on this hike on our honeymoon. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgable and provided a great experience on our hike. The hike was short but challenging especially in the 90 degree humid heat. The pickup and drop off process was also very smooth at the resort.

This hike is amazing. It is not a long hike, but some parts up to the top of Mt. Pimard were challenging. Make sure to wear supportive shoes and bring water. You will be sweating a lot. Getting to the top involved five areas that required you to use a rope to pull yourself up. The views were beautiful. Our guide, Keyz, was terrific. He was so knowledgeable of the trail, the route up to the top, the history of the island, and he made this hike a memorable experience. So glad we chose this excursion and that we met Keyz.

We booked this tour through shore excursions (who used Lucian Styles) since I was apparently too old to go on the ship's tour! Our guide was CJ, and he was great. My husband and I were the only two on the tour, and they still didn't cancel it. We saw some cool WWII bunkers and rain forest scenery. There was a pool with fresh water tilapia that would nibble on your feet as you sat there. That was fun! I can't lie, it was a tough hike. It seems that a lot of Caribbean rain forest hikes require you to pull yourself up with branches or tree roots, so it was pretty steep. I heard that you had to pull yourself up with ropes, and I envisioned it as kind of a handrail/safety thing. Nope, it was slick rock surfaces and your arms did all the work pulling yourself up. There were four stretches like that. The good news was that CJ was there, guiding us for every step and every handhold, offering a hand when needed. It took about an hour and there was a great view from the top. Unfortunately, it started raining at the top and rained the whole way down. I guess that's why they call it a rain forest. Definitely a memorable hike and we're glad we did it. Thanks again, CJ!
