This trail is about 20-30 minutes away from Kingstown by car/taxi. When we arrived there was no one there ie no office open, no staff, no guide or any one to give you information. However we just followed the trail ourselves. It was a 2 mile hike up through rain forest. Very sweaty work, but well worth it ! If you do this walk, take your own water as there is no where to buy any refreshments if the office is closed.

We had a special time hiking for two hours through the trail. It is well maintained, preserved and filled with flowering tropical plants in such abundance. It was a highlight of our Caribbean holiday. It really is a unique place and if you love nature, hiking and wildlife it is a must do and see. Quiet, peaceful and away from the buzz of the ports.

Entrance fee 5 EC$ per Person. Trail in good condition, many steps. Benches with lovely views at the parrot lookout. We did not see parrots and very few other birds. Walking time 2 hours.

One of the best nature trails visited. You need to be reasonably fit as there are many steep steps uphill for the first half and downhill thereafter. Can be slippery after rain. Very beautiful, and well managed. Plenty of signs en route. Takes about 90mins - or longer ! Recommended, but take appropriate shoes.

Like all the tourist places we visited on St Vincent Vermont is cheap to get in and has basic amenities. The walk was tougher than we envisaged especially in the afternoon heat. There are lots and lots of steps. It was definitely worth it was we saw the rare St Vincent Parrots. Take plenty of water and wear good footwear as it was muddy in parts.

The trail provides an opportunity to see the endangered St Vincent Parrot in its natural habitat. There is a 500 foot climb from the car park to the viewing platform - steep, narrow and winding in places with exposed tree roots which make walking treacherous at times. But well worth it for the opportunity to see a variety of trees and plants, a few birds, and (eventually) several of the rare parrots flying over and calling. Go with a local guide to make the best of the trip.

A fairly easy loop trail thru nice forest with a few very large trees. Part is near pretty small creek. Parrots especially in higher elevation. Visitor center has minimal exhibits. Snack bar with cold drinks, snacks, T-shirts.

The trail starts near the top of Buccament Valley.A small kiosk selling snacks and cold drinks marks the beginning of this trail. The first few hundred yards are level and provide sightings of forest edge flora and fauna including Cattle Egrets and, in the roof of a small, open sided shelter, colonies of paper wasps (Polistes sp) and a beautiful Saint Vincent's Tree Anole. After crossing the river the steps begin - they are uneven and slippery when wet - a walking staff is justifiably recommended by the locals. This is a demanding walk that leads high into the hills where there is a platform (also slippery) from which the lucky visitor might see the endemic St Vincent Parrot. Other birds to note are Black Hawk, Crested Hummingbird, Redcapped Green Tanager and Green Heron.Opening hours are from 9.00 am – 5.00 pm.No glass bottles, no smoking and no loud music are permitted on the site.Stout footwear is recommended and the usual suggestion that long-sleeved shirts and long trousers afford some protection in the rainforest although the trail is wide enough to avoid brushing against the thornier palms.

Unspoilt and beautiful nature, wonderful and special place with helpful staff at the visitor centre, a must see

When I first arrive in St Vincent, coming from the winter cold of Canada, this one of the first excursions I make. It's easy to get to. The dollar bus takes you all the way to Vermont. Being a rain forest everything is lush and green, the trees huge... everything very different from a Canadian winter. It's a very civilized trail, with information signs here and there. I usually see parrots and I almost always hear their "sqwak" in the trees. Downstream in Buccament at the mouth of the river, it is a semi dessert with cactuses, so it's a pretty interesting valley biologically.
