1.TRIPLE ACTIVITY TOUR, Bike Kayak Hike, ANTIGUA

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 211 reviews · from $130Our pick

Cycle through St. John’s with local guides Giles or Mark, paddle into a mangrove reserve, stop for a beach swim, and walk to Fort James. The 2-hour-45-minute outing is relaxed rather than strenuous, with cruisers in four frame sizes, bottled water, and a small group capped at 11 people.

“An easy 5 min walk from the cruise port to the meeting point where we found Giles setting up bicycles and equipment. He greeted my family of 4 by our names, prepped us for the day activities and we set out. Easy biking through and around town, Giles stopped at sites and interests all the while explaining each. Next activity was kayaking to a mangrove and observing local flora and fauna, birds and sea life. Back on the bikes for more touring Giles guided us to a beach for a quick dip and a hike around the area, the site of a 1600's fort, all the while explaining various ecological…”

7.Guided Morning and Sunset Hikes

★★★★★★★★★★3.1 · 3 reviews · 3h 30m · from $90

Choose a morning or sunset hike with local guide Dwight, round-trip transport, park fees, and bottled water included. Routes range from the easy Sugar Apple trail to the very challenging Stinking Toe trail, with tropical plants, birds, historic ruins, waterfront walking, and high island views. Confirm the exact location before booking.

“Started ok, but the last third was a rock climb, which didn’t fit the description of a ‘mild to moderate’ hike. Walking up and down hills is no problem, but the end of this trek could only be classed as a challenge. Guide also took us the wrong way and we had to back track over very difficult terrain. Not recommended (by me). It should have been categorised correctly, it certainly wasn’t ’mild to moderate’. We will never book anything like this again.”
