Off the beaten
path?
How about off the
map in your own back yard?
- Adventure travel?
- Luxury vacation with your
own fresh-water swimming pool?
- Some of the best deep-sea
diving in the Caribbean?
- Hiking in the
rain-forest?
You don’t even have to
choose – you can have it all – and much more on the tiny Caribbean
island of
Montserrat.
Montserrat
is one of only very few places in the Caribbean, where hard corals are virtually free of
the destructive diseases attributed to pollution. Explore untouched reef,
volcanic caverns and a myriad of ocean life just minutes from stunning
beaches with our shore dives or head out and experience the wonder
of the ocean around the nearby island of Redonda. Or you may prefer reef
dives or night dives or snorkeling….or all of the
above.
You may just want
to go for a sighting of dolphins or sharks. There are a lot of
possibilities in the waters around Montserrat. Read

Hike our
Nature Trails
Oriole
Walkway - This trail traverses the Centre Hills region, which
is renowned for its biological diversity, rich habitat and
vegetation. Trail to “The Cot” -- The hike
through the lush vegetation offers breathtaking views of the surrounding
villages including some of the Exclusion Zone.
Blackwood Allen Trail -- A strategically placed viewing
platform allows for panoramic views of the northern villages and the
coastline below.
Runaway Ghaut -- Montserrat’s ghauts (pronounced guts) are
deep ravines that carry rainwater down from the mountains to the sea.
Legend has it that people drinking the cool spring water flowing to the
drinking fountain at Runaway Ghaut will be drawn to return to Montserrat
again and again. This mini-trail offers the perfect route for a relaxing
afternoon stroll or a family picnic in a remarkable setting. Read more.....

Enjoy our empty black sand
beaches

non-volcanic white sand beach is Rendezvous Beach, the furthest north,
which is only accessible by boat or a stiff hike but is well worth the
effort. Read more ....
