  • The scary ride up was worth the Wonderful view from the top of Magic mountain. You can see all the other mountains too.

  • Do you take a tour vehicle up or hike? If you hike do you take the steep trail or the steeper trail? I did the steeper trail hike. I’m 54 but start my day with 30 minutes of strong cardio. I...

  • Wow - this is the BEST view on the island - far superior than Belvedere (which is also very nice) But this point is much higher and sits on a point at the very tip top of a mountain that juts out so that you have a 360 degree panorama that is something you will remember. I also enjoyed the hike up the road to get there - be aware that it is a very steep climb on the road and may be difficult for some people with limited mobility. Fantastic 5 hike and worth the trip and entry fee.
  • Bring lots of water and sunscreen!!! I hiked it with my wife and two boys, ages 12 and 14. We started around 9am and it was already very hot. We are all in good shape and it was a good workout. Amazing view at the top!
