Boggy Peak Holidays

Rising to 402 meters (1,319 feet), Boggy Peak is a must-visit for travellers seeking both adventure and the best views Antigua has to offer. Located in the southwestern part of the island, Boggy Peak (also known as Mount Obama) provides a challenging hike rewarded by sweeping views of Antigua’s coastline, nearby islands, and the azure Caribbean Sea. This nature escape is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and those exploring beyond Antigua’s beaches.

The trail to the summit is moderately difficult, winding through rich forests and diverse plant life, and is best suited for early mornings when temperatures are cooler. Hikers will encounter tropical flora and fauna unique to the island, making the ascent as fascinating as the destination. Once at the top, the reward is a stunning 360-degree view that captures both the eastern and western shores of Antigua, providing an exceptional vantage point for photography or quiet reflection.

Guided tours to Boggy Peak are available for those interested in learning more about Antigua’s natural landscape and history. As you trek, knowledgeable guides share insights into the island’s ecology and the story behind the peak’s renaming in honour of former U.S. President Barack Obama. For those not up for the hike, there are also driving tours that allow you to experience the scenic landscape without the trek.
