  If you are looking for something nice to do other than swim, eat and drink, this is your spot. Lovely trails wind through and around the Park. There is one lookout inside the Park through the gate on the right hand side and another more expansive view through the gate on the left hand side. Some of the trails just wind about aimlessly offering a good workout and jungle type vistas intermittently listing this or that type of flora. Others lead you to amazing views of the surrounding islands. Apply your bug spray and wear good walking shoes as the trails are rocky and rooty. Stop in and see Jim in the green gift shop for a fresh banana smoothie and or lunch and some pleasant conversation.

  Amazing place to see. The vegetation is very interesting even if one is not a specialist. Be prepared for some rain and a little mud after. From time to time when the forest opens the view is magnificent too.

  Exciting, narrow,twisting roads take you higher and higher, each view becoming more breathtaking, each mile becoming more dense in lush vegation as you enter rain forest.Look out for declining evience of farming, fields of sugar cane, bananas, avocados and sweet potatoes, and glimpses of white sandy bays in the distance far below.Enjoy the ride.

  Great view point to see the entire island and surrounding islands. It is a winding drive to get up there, so definitely make sure your car can handle the STEEP hills. We didn't have a chance to do the hike because of time, but make sure you stop by the bar at the top of the mountain that is run by an ex-pat british man named Jim. Worth the lively conversation!

  Not too much to see, except the 'Top of the World', which is highly recommended. Drive slowly so you can stop and take pictures when you see a great spot. Very beautiful.

  Bring your camera/phone. Don't miss Skyview, a tour to Sage Mountain gives one a great back dope of Tortola's rum trading history, schools, politics, and landscape.

  If you're looking for something different to do when you get off the cruise ship, this is for you. My family and I enjoy hiking on vacation and it was nice to hike in a tropical climate. The trail can be muddy, and it is certainly not handicap accessible, but it was very fun for 2 college students and parents to hike. Don't wear nice shoes. The view from the top is great - you can see a lot of islands. As for wildlife, we saw some large spiders and some boar tracks. Tropical plants are very green and we even saw a banana tree! There is a bar/restaurant/shop at the beginning/end of the trail where you can wait for your taxi to pick you up. The owner is incredibly nice and a great local to talk to about the culture of the island. (He knows everyone and can call your cab driver too.) No need to pay for a tour. A great way to spend a day doing something different than the beach on a Caribbean island.

  It's a Beautiful Place to visit and hike. We hiked from our villa up the road to the mountain almost everyday. The views are magnificent and the trails are easy, but steep.

  Stopped off during a cruise and wanted something different. Took a taxi from the dock up to the National Park entrance, very scenic drive. No guides were evident but there is a restaurant/souvenir shop run by Jim who was very helpful and lent us a colour coded well used map. Overall we did 3 miles in lovely rain forest albeit it was quite dry during our visit and we only saw one other couple. Make sure you get to the big Fig Tree and viewing platform. Need to be quite fit with sound foot ware to do all the walks especially the up and down from the viewing platform. Finish the walk with one of Jim's delicious Banana smoothies!. Make sure you arrange for your taxi to pick you up. Allow two and half hours so you can enjoy the walk and smoothie. We took our taxi down to Cane Garden Beach which is a good way to finish the day.

  Spent a couple of hours hiking here - well marked with some informational signs. Trail rather wet when we were there. The view was nice. Had a smoothie at the shop when we finished. Good for a change of pace from the beach - hiking much better on St John
