We hiked, even though it was 90 degrees, and loved every minute! The breeze is always blowing and the views are amazing! So worth the time, especially if you are staying next door at sandals grande. I wish we would have hiked it daily. Some couples on the resort did it three times in one week.

We took a sea taxi from Rodney Bay and walked both the peaks which was excellent. A slightly demanding walk, but easily manageable for most people and the views from the top are outstanding. Fantastic bird life in the trees if you look, hummingbirds, herons and many more to see and a lovely mix of open ground and trees. Highlight was helping the ranger find and release a handful of baby turtles into the sea that had taken the wrong direction. All safely swam away and a truly magical thing to be involved with. Rangers and staff were all lovely, so well worth a visit.

Was staying at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian just next door and wanted to hike the two small summits in the park. Paid the entry fee and explored the park. We were very happy to have done so. The hike was mildly strenuous but very short. Both hills had great views, and the fort had some plaques to teach us about the British military encampment. Worth the entry fee, although I'd recommend going in the morning to avoid the heat of the day

If you have a hire car,drive tother wall.At least some mini vans and some tree shade is here.Nice walk around the ruins.Maybe a see thru cover for the well? Walked up to the peaks,but it was a struggle.Very hot,clear sky day,so was a sweat fest for 60 year olds.See...if we can do it...so can you. Pleasant sit down in the trees/shade just above the beach and drift off. Wear a decent trainer or boot on your feet,take plenty of water and if hot/sunny,just cover up. Take somewhere between 2-3 hrs here.

Spent a good part of the day here learning about Ft Rodney. The interpretation center is not big but gives you a bit of history of the island. Pretty much all the barracks are in ruins. The real thrill is the hike to the fort and then up Satellite Peak. Holy cow, that was a work out. It’s not like hiking In Colorado where the air is clean and dry. It’s humid and sticky and 80 some degrees. Scrambling up rocks to climb to the peak. Brutal. Took a nice break at the top before heading down. Guess who went stray to the beach? Lovely private national park beaches. Pretty quiet as we are in fringe season. All in all a good experience but not for the faint of heart.

We were concerned about ‘hiking’ in the heat as we are not ‘hikers’ or even avid walkers, from what we had read on the internet, however, this isn’t really a ‘hike’ as such. Yes it does go up hill and it is steep up to the ‘lookouts’ but there are concrete slopes and then a step ladder to Fort Rodney with a gassed slope heading up to signal head (then it is a rocky trail about half way up). We saw some people with young children one even with a push chair and they would have made it almost all the way. A wheel chair might be a struggle though! We took the slightly less travelled scene coastal route on the way up which was more of a challenge but still not too bad. The views are fabulous. Although not the clearest day we could just make out the shores of Martinique. The breeze was also very welcome. It was definitely worth the effort. Coming back down and then walking around the barracks and past the interpretation centre gave lovely views and breeze on the Atlantic side of the island. Lots of debris on the shore that was interesting. We didn’t stop at the beaches but they were beautiful. Interestingly although our looking online said 10 ECD for residents and 8USD for non residents when we’re got there it was 10USD each. Defo worth going to.

Beautiful views of the surrounding area and Pigeon island itself. Definitely worth the trip, especially if you're staying at Sandals Grande as it's directly next door. It was 10$USD/pp to enter and well worth it! Not a long hike but it is steep in parts. However there are plenty of places to stop and catch a breath that double as photo pit stops.

Extremely clean. There are four lots of restrooms on the island and Jennel (sorry if I have misspelled your name) was going round cleaning them every 15 minutes. For a fun and lively atmosphere go to the beach nearest the restaurant to see all sort of varieties of fish and mix with diverse people.

We booked with Shore Excursion from the cruise ship port. The driver Alvin met us at the port with another couple. We left the pier and headed up to Morne Fortune, passing through Castries. When you reach Morne Fortune, nice view of the harbor and northern coast. Stop at the Howelton Estate. You have 2 hours to spend at Pigeon Island beach or explore the park. too bad it was a rainy day on and off. Not too bad for a half day tour.

The views from atop Fort Rodney were breathtaking and the walk along a well maintained track was easy. The grounds are also well kept with whats left of the ruins to take awesome pics. Beach was quite good and the restaurant food at Jambe de bois was perfect, we had chicken roti and curried fish.
