Mount Obama
Mount Obama (Boggy Peak)
Antigua's highest point at 402 metres, formerly known as Boggy Peak; from the summit you can overlook the southwest coast and neighbouring islands.
Mount Obama was formerly called Boggy Peak and was renamed in 2009. At 402 metres, it is the highest point in the country, and the summit has telecommunications facilities. The round-trip hike from the Johnsons Village side takes about 2 to 3 hours along steep trails with no shade. A local guide or hiking group is recommended. In the dry season, set off early in the morning and bring plenty of water. From the top you can see Jolly Harbour and the beaches of the west coast, and on clear days, Montserrat and Guadeloupe.
