From a Weekend Walk
to a Movement

Island Hikers was founded in 2010 by Mario Russell with a simple idea — get people outdoors and exploring the hidden trails of Trinidad & Tobago.

What started as a small group of friends hiking on weekends has grown into Trinidad's largest and most active hiking community, with hundreds of regular hikers, annual events, and international tours to 15+ countries.

Every Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine, Island Hikers leads guided hikes across the Northern Range, coastal trails, and deep jungle waterfalls. Our mission: make hiking accessible, safe, and unforgettable for everyone.

"Hiking gives us the opportunity to get away from the stress of everyday life and reconnect with nature — and with each other."
