  The semiclassical approximation to the coherent state propagator requires
complex classical trajectories in order to satisfy the associated boundary
conditions, but finding these trajectories in practice is a difficult task that
may compromise the applicability of the approximation. In this work several
approximations to the coherent state propagator are derived that make use only
of real trajectories, which are easier to handle and have a more direct
physical interpretation. It is verified in a particular example that these real
trajectories approximations may have excellent accuracy.
