Activities & Things to Do

Tourism is the mainstay of Antigua's economy and each year there are new things to do for the more adventurous tourist. You can of course lie on a beach or by a pool sipping cocktails and soaking up the sun, but its all there if you want to be a bit more active.

How about some deep sea fishing, diving on coral reefs or swimming with stingrays? You could swing through the rainforest trees on a zipline or take a helicopter flight around Montserrat's smoking volcano? And before you go, shop til you drop in St John's.

Hiking trails, a UNESCO World Heritage site, eco tours, you may need a holiday to recover from your holiday.
