About this experience
You never want a vacation to end; it's never long enough. That's why we've planned this comfortable tour of Antigua. You'll be able to swim in the shallow waters of Stingray City (you don't need to know how to swim because the water is chest-deep). You'll also be able to swim at one of the most beautiful white-sand beaches in the Antilles: Long Bay Beach. Snorkeling here is also perfect for those who want to try this unusual activity (equipment included). A vacation isn't a real journey if you don't understand the origins of its people, which is why we'll take you to the former sugarcane plantation where more than 300 slaves worked. We'll also take you to photograph the most photographed site in Antigua: Devil's Bridge. During the day, we'll savor a dish of authentic Caribbean cuisine.
The most comprehensive tour of the island is waiting for you to discover it...
Maximum on the group in the van 14 persons BUT at Stingray City will be others people from other companies.

The best way to get to know a place is through its customs, traditions, and... cuisine! If you come to Antigua, you absolutely must try oven-roasted chicken with rice and seasonal vegetables. A simple yet flavorful dish. Once you've finished it, you'll want to ask the cook for the recipe, but she won't tell you because it's a secret passed down from generation to generation. But she'll tell you with a smile.
