ANTIGUA ACTIVITIES

TIPS FOR YOUR TRIP:

ANTIGUA: Was a favorite of Princess Diana of Wales with its rich British colonial heritage. The destination is popular in the romance segment and has some of the best white sand beaches in the Caribbean. The island sits in the center of the chain of Caribbean islands Barbuda, home of pink sand and deer, is a must-see for nature lovers (especially birds). Only 1,500 people live there. It has the largest colony of Frigate birds in the Caribbean.

 

Excellent options of adventure on land and by sea. Local beer is called Wadadli and is the original name of the island.

 

#1 TOUR TIP: Island Routes’ Community type tour is the weekly Shirley Heights island Party on a Sunday afternoon into evening for sunset. Guests will need $8.00 per person (*additional government fee) to be paid on site (cannot be pre-paid).
