Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crime.

Montserrat is most known for its geographical terrain and green landscapes. One of the most famous features of Montserrat include its volcanoes.

Due to this, there is an exclusion zone that covers a large majority of the island.

One volcanic range that is inside the safe zone and where tourists are able to visit is the Silver Hills. The Silver Hills are the oldest volcanic range on the island. The Silver Hills has not been an active volcano for millions of years and is safe to travel to.

Another volcanic complex that is safe to travel to in Montserrat are the Katy Hills.

To learn more about the exclusion zone, contact the Canadian Embassy whose information is listed below.

Here are some essential items to consider for your trip to Montserrat:

  • Insect repellent is vital due to the presence of dengue in Montserrat. Always protect yourself. Bring spray, nets, and clothing.
  • Filtered water bottle or water sanitation tablets to protect against contaminated water.
  • Lightweight clothing that you can layer as the temperatures change from day to night.
  • Bring a light rain jacket, even during the dry months.
