Description
Hiking from the English Harbour to the Shirley Heights lookout is an awesome way to get active on your tropical vacation. Let one of our certified guides show you the way, and give you information about the area as you go along.
Situated on the most southerly tip of the island of Antigua, Shirley Heights lookout gives you amazing views of the English Harbour. The lookout is actually part of the Shirley Heights military complex, an area that is rich in history. Your guide will be able to explain more to you about this history.
The hike to get to the lookout is moderate, it can be done in one hour. There are some steep sections, but with a basic level of fitness though you won’t find this too much of a challenge. The biggest hazard is loose ground on the trail, so you’ll want to be surefooted!
We’ll hike through the dry jungle and see different kinds of cacti. There are also graveyards that have been there for centuries! If you’re into history then you’ll love this hike.
When we do reach the lookout we’ll take some time to explore the military complex. You’ll be blown away by the views, and you’ll see why this really is one of the best hikes in Antigua.
Don’t wait! Book your trip now and you’ll soon be hiking in the Caribbean!

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
