The annual Festival of Walking will kick off this year on 27 December 2024 and run to the end of February 2025. The tourism team will be building on the success of last year’s festival by adding new hikes!
St Helena is a hiker’s dream with over 21 trails, each a world of its own. Ranging from family friendly to only for experienced hikers, there’s something for everyone. Trek rugged cliffs, venture through lush forests, and climb peaks to experience 360° breath-taking vistas. Spot many unique flora and fauna on the way and even pass centuries-old forts and military batteries.
Benefit from the expertise of local guides including conservationists, avid walkers and historians who will lead the way and share their knowledge. It’s an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who wish to learn more about St Helena or just simply have a passion for hiking.
