  • Fort Duvernette has beautiful views of St. Vincent and its surroundings. The hike is steep and lasts about 8-10 mins. There are some stops as you get closer to the summit, where you can take excellent pictures. The boat ride to the fort is one of the best experiences 👌
  • Visit Fort duvernette for stunning views and the sunset. Not a hard climb up. Needs a taxi boat which can be hired
  • This is such a beautiful place to see. It is worth hiring a water taxi, where you go past Young Island. It is a steep climb, but the view is absolutely wonderful.
  • What a gorgeous place! A fun hike to the top but the best views are on the stairs along the way. You can see a gorgeous view of Young Island plus the mainland. Ask around at the Young Island docks for someone to drop you off and pick you up—Sparrow took us. For two people it should be about 30 EC. You can also jump off the little dock and into the clear blue water. Just a beautiful little island and a delightful experience.
  • The steps are uneven so this isn't a great place to explore if you cannot climb stairs or get sea sick as you need to take a boat to get to the fort. The top has a beautiful view with a covered picnic table so bring a lunch. There are many cannons left from when the fort was in action. You can explore the island but be on the lookout because there are natural cacti all over the island but have been removed from the main path
