Hey there... I just got back on Saturday from the Eastern and did the Mountain Top Trek on St. Maarten. It was a unique and different choice for us as we're not the most physical or adventuresome of people, but we really enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Claudette, was fun and informative, and the scenery of course was stunning. I couldn't believe it when she told us we had covered nearly three miles and 1400 feet! Quite an accomplishment for me without, you know... dying or falling off the mountain.
There were some steep areas, and most of it was quite rocky. My wife mentioned several times that it felt as if we were walking along a dried up river bed, but we took it slow and there were no disasters. We had a very small group (just 12 of us) so Claudette was able to add a few things to the tour that she isn't normally able to cover.
Take it slowly, watch out for loose rocks... but everyone knows their own capabilities, but I am of the mind that if I can do it anyone can do it.
Would this be something appropriate for a 6 year old boy? Or would it be too much?
