Things to do
Antigua Rainforest Zipline Tour
Discover Antigua from dizzying new heights on an eco-tour of the island's lush rainforest. Zipline through the verdant canopy, picking the pace and altitude that's right for you and allow the rangers to guide you on everything from wildlife watching and bird calling, to the best nearby hiking trails and the ideal zipline technique.
Soar over the gorge, taking in all the flora and fauna the rainforest has to offer from treetop bridges and aerial walkways. Alternatively, the Antigua Rainforest Company also offers several combination tours, including Zip & Kayak and Zip & Stingray.
Steel Pans at Shirley Heights
Shirley Heights is a restored military lookout with a high point of approximately 490 feet, affording it incredible views over both English and Falmouth Harbour. Alongside the breathtaking panoramas on offer, visitors can also take in weekly live music at the bar and restaurant.
Come and let your hair down whilst the sun sets and musicians play tropical tunes from the Caribbean and farther afield. Popular with locals and holidaymakers alike, concerts here always make for a night to remember.
Visit St. John's
A holiday in Antigua wouldn't be complete without a trip to the island's colourful capital - St. John's. Culture vultures will be enthralled by the local history on display at the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, whilst the city’s unique Museum of Marine Art also showcases fascinating artefacts.
Otherwise, St. John's offers an eclectic mixture of restaurants, bars, and shops. We'd recommend visitors a trip to Public Market, which sells a range of crafts and fresh produce.
