Blunts Point Trail
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
Tropical downpours can roll in fast and without warning, turning the trail surface slick within minutes. If you see dark clouds building over the ridge, consider heading back rather than pushing to the top.
Mosquitoes are relentless in the shaded forest sections — apply strong repellent before you start, because stopping to reapply on the trail just gives them a stationary target.

Pro Tips
Hit the trail early morning before the tropical heat builds — by 10 a.m. the humidity becomes oppressive, and the shaded sections offer only partial relief.
Wear shoes with aggressive tread. The combination of tropical moisture, exposed roots, and packed volcanic soil creates surprisingly slippery conditions even on dry days.
The WWII gun emplacement near the summit makes for a compelling photo with the harbor below — position yourself just past the ruins for an unobstructed shot that captures both the historical structure and the water.
