More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The van eases away from St. John’s harbor and Antigua opens like a map you can walk into: the Atlantic hurls against Devil’s Bridge, rainforest whispers along Fig Tree Drive, and the hills above English Harbour frame Nelson’s Dockyard like a stage. Guides steer with easy authority, pointing to ruined sugar mills and coral-scarred cliffs as if narrating the island’s long conversation with sea and empire.
