What's your favorite thing to do in Antigua?

We've been to Antigua twice. On our first trip we did a catamaran/snorkeling excursion. On our second trip with the ATV tour and spent the rest of the day at Dickenson Bay Beach. I'm trying to find something different to do on our third visit? Any suggestions? What's been your favorite excursion/tour you've done in Antigua for those who have visited several times.

Thanks!

The Extreme Tour for speed and the Classic Yacht Tour for relaxation from Adventure Antigua.

We flew with Caribbean helicopter to tour the live volcano on Montserrat

In January, we took an island tour with Lawrence of Antigua. He gave us a very informative tour and took us to a lot of interesting places. http://www.lawrenceofantigua.com

Any of the excursions offered by adventureantigua.com!

We rode horses on the back side of the island - Runaway Beach near Sandals - it was phenomenal. I think Carnival was charging $170 pp for a big group tour. We asked when we got on port and someone called Uprising Stables for us. A cab took us out there and we had an hour long private ride for $50 pp (just my hubby and I on Runaway Beach, which was very long and completely empty!). It was magical - total bucket list moment. My horse was named G Man and hubby's was named Christopher Columbus. If you see them, tell G Man Whitney says hi!

Stingray City.....Zip lining.....Nelson's Dockyard area & Shirley Heights.....climb up to Ft. Barrington, fantastic view....Ft. James....

This sounds like a fantastic thing to do! Do you know if you can book this in advance? I tried looking for a website but did not see one. Thanks!

Enjoyed my tour with Lawrence, but really really loved segwaying provided by Segway Antigua Tours. There isn't a recent thread on CC but check them out on TripAdvisor. Very organized, instructions via video and practice, met at pier, transportation provided, and felt very safe. Groups are small.

Looking forward to a do over!!

We like to book a sailing catamaran that includes a stop at one of the 365 beautiful beaches. :)

We have done what was a full island tour with Voyages Antiqua which we enjoyed tremendously. I did a the Eco tour with Adventures Antiqua which quite frankly I found to be a bit overwhelming for a man in his late 60's.

We just returned from a cruise that included a stop in Antigua. On a previous cruise we had done a snorkel trip to Bird Island and weren't very impressed. This time we did the Segway Tour - our first. We loved it and would do it again. Great instructors and guides.

We did the Segways? Great fun

Anyway to contact them before our January cruise? I did a google search and couldn't find anything except your review :-) I'd love to do this!

Was the ATV and Beach tour through the ship or private? Who did you use for this?

Thanks!

PS. By the way, we did the Segway tour a few years ago and really enjoyed it.

Hi Wendy,

I know this is an old thread! But did you manage to get details or go and ride? I am trying to find some info out for when I go in December.

Thanks :)

I saw your post and did a quick Google search and I think this may be the website that you're looking for.

We did the Reef Riders-snorkel excursion. They are 2 person inflatable boats that are a blast.
