Antigua Adventure Eco Tour

The emphasis of this trip is on the ecology and history of the island. The warm, clear waters, protected by over 20 tiny islands, countless reefs, flats and mangrove nurseries, are always calm and there are perfect opportunities for spotting some of the local residents, including turtles, frigate birds, herons, pelicans, spotted eagle rays, sting rays, barracuda, osprey, turns, noddies, laughing gulls, and beautiful tropical birds. Lunch and snorkeling lessons are also included.

Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tour

A unique eco-tour through Antigua’s lush rain forest where you embark on an unforgettable journey through the verdant forest, high above the trees. There are a series of zip lines, some in excess of 200 and 300 feet long, criss-crossing the gorge, varying from 200 – 350 feet high. The tour also comprises short trails and suspension bridges, which are completed with a unique, absolutely safe, ‘Leap of Faith’, a controlled 36-foot vertical descent!
