Antigua is Barbuda’s larger sister island, a beautiful Caribbean beach paradise which boasts the glut of the country’s tourism spots with a keen eye for providing excellent opportunities suitable for all interests.  Antigua’s countryside lends itself to popular hiking trails and shaded beach spots, whilst guests seeking something more itemized will find a wealth of amenities and services throughout the island to cater to everything from pampered spa stays to waterskiing trips across the Caribbean Sea, guaranteeing that no matter your preference the island will provide world-class opportunities.  
 
Bountiful Marine Life
 
The Caribbean Sea is home to some of the world’s most colourful and fascinating species of marine life, and Antigua is no exception.  The island is a hub for scuba and diving activities which take advantage of the sea’s treasure trove of fascinating species to offer guests the opportunity to get close to a variety of underwater creatures.  One of the hottest spots to visit is “stingray city”, where tourists can swim with the rays.  
 
Antigua D-Boat
 
A 140 foot retired oil-rig turned water park, Antigua’s D-Boat guarantees a fun day out on the ocean suitable for all ages.  Moored just off Antigua’s coast, the boat accommodates families and groups as well as individual travellers, promising to provide a fun-filled day of water based entertainment.  Among the boat’s amenities are an extensive waterpark (with a 25 foot ocean slide), a tanning lounge and a bar with music, as well as complimentary food and drinks services throughout the day.  
 
Stunning Nature Spots
 
Antigua is much more than just back to back beaches, and the island has a wealth of rolling verdant hills which create a vibrant and exciting landscape.  Holidaymakers wishing to escape tourism areas can take a trip in-land to the island’s near-untouched nature reserves in the southwest regions, where they can hike through luscious woodland or even mountain climb through the Shekerley Mountains, whose peak offers a stunning panorama of the island’s landscape.  
 
Pelican’s Eye View of the Island
 
Among the most unique opportunities available to tourists in Antigua is the opportunity to take to the skies and get a guided tour around some of the island’s most incredible natural landmarks.  Following the fashions of the country’s prevalent pelican population, guests can soar high through the clear skies and explore Antigua’s gorgeous and dramatic coastline on a short tour which covers the island’s attractions and many beaches.  
 
Las Vegas, Caribbean Style
 
Antigua’s casinos offer their guests a chance to enjoy all the opulent excitement of Las Vegas with a very Caribbean atmosphere.  Much more relaxed than their contemporaries around the world, Antigua’s casinos offer a mixture of traditional games and luxury Caribbean services, to create an environment which encourages both fun and relaxation.  Many of these casinos also offer night-time entertainment and locally sourced live music, adding an authentic Antiguan flavour to the casino experience.
