Did all the routes in about 1.5 hours with some stops to cool down and check the view.
Well marked hikes, all pretty short, didn't pay too much attention to the different plants/trees, but still worth going to enjoy the nature.
Many millipedes, didn't see any monkeys.
Had rained day before, so 1 trail was muddy, all the others were fine.

A must do if you are visiting the island. Good sized trail that leads through the forest. Walk can be between 1-2 hours long, depending on what trails you take.
Path can get rough at times so ensure that you bring the correct footwear.
Entry is also cheaper compared to other places on the island.
Would come again.

** Recommended! ** This forest is a project designed to restore biodiversity and explore new crops to feed the island using terracing on the hills. There are several well kept walking trails- some relatively easy to walk in some difficult. Several scenic stops to get great pictures
Our guide & owner Matmoud explained the project’s progress and future plans. He explained the fauna & flora, agricultural techniques & challenges restoring the land after it had been stripped and used for sugarcane production when the British first colonized the island.
At the end, there was a tasting of various products that they are making using the plants and fruits that they’re growing. All tasty!
You should sign up for a tour that will drive you to the forest band arrange a tour.

Barbados was largely deforested for sugarcane plantations, leaving little original nature behind. Coco Hill Forest remains a rare patch of (almost) untouched forest, well worth a visit.
Faith will give you a warm welcome and some helpful explanations about the different trails. If you plan to take your time, allow around two hours for the walks.
