• JH24+24 Ashton - The hike begins at the trailhead that intersects with the road above Chatham Bay. The initial part of the trail has a gentle incline, perfect for warming up your leg muscles. Your guide will highlight interesting flora and fauna along the route.

As you venture deeper into the forest, you’ll find yourself amidst some of the most mature stands of Lesser Antillean Dry Forest remaining in the Eastern Caribbean, one of the planet’s most endangered habitats! The trees provide shade from the sun and help regulate the temperature. This environment is ideal for endemic species like the Grenadine Pink Rhino Iguana and the Union Island Gecko. With some luck, your guide may spot these creatures for you to observe.

Further along, the trail ascends towards the peak of Mt Taboi, becoming increasingly steep. However, the effort is rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views from the summit.
