Hiking in British Virgin Islands
Including Sage Mountain National Park. On the map.
The vibe
Walking here feels like navigating a lush, vertical jungle where paths often lead to sudden, sweeping views of turquoise bays rather than mountain peaks. The cooler, drier months from December to April make for the most comfortable trekking, as the humidity can be intense during the summer. You will find the trails mostly quiet and self-guided, offering a sense of solitude that feels far removed from the busier cruise ports.
