Hike in Sage Mountain National Park

This first-ever national park in the British Virgin Islands lets you explore Tortola’s native forest on 12 trails, most of which are looped. Sage Mountain itself rises 1,716 feet to the sky and is the tallest point in all of the U.S. and the British Virgin Islands, which makes Tortola one of the best Virgin Islands to visit for hikers. If you’re looking to stretch your legs or take a bit of a break from the beaches, this is a solid option. Viewpoints provide panoramic views over the dotted Virgin Islands hugged by azure seas—it’s quite possibly the best landscape panorama in the BVIs. On the Central Trail, you’ll enjoy spectacular views in under an hour as you hike through the rainforest to an observation deck. A small restaurant and gift shop are located at the entrance and run by the knowledgeable park caretaker.
