January 25, 2022 Marlin Saiz

Lively Antigua and Barbuda move to the music of steel drums. You can visit a different beach each day and not repeat yourself for a full year—and that's why tourists and celebrities alike flock to this sun-soaked Caribbean island. Take a day cruise, rent some diving gear or cruise up the beach on a Segway for a real adventure, island-style.

Frigate Bird Sanctuary

Home to one of the largest frigate (or man-of-war or hurricane) bird colonies in the world.

Reviewed By kenfish - New York City, United States

On my recent trip to Barbuda, I got to watch the amazing mating habits of Frigate birds. In a well preserved sanctuary that is only reachable by small boat you can watch the females with their white under bellies get woo by the males with the inflated red pouches. A magnificent show of nature.

Great Bird Island

Reviewed By 96williams96 - Marietta, United States

It was a swimming, hiking and lunch stop on our Adventure Antigua boat tour. No food or restrooms on the island except for trees and bushes. The lunch and restroom was on the Adventure Antigua Tours boat. It is a 20 acre island on the North side of Antigua only accessible by boat. Great beach and swimming Harbour on South side of this small island. Very nice white sand beach with close sandbars and surrounding coral reef. It was named Great Bird Island by early sailors who were amazed by the extensive bird population. Now it is the only place where the Antiguan Races snake can still be seen in the wild. However, during our guided eco hike to the top of the island for the amazing view, we only saw a picture of the snake. The hike is short, but good shoes make it easier to climb up and down. See pictures from our wonderful 75 minutes there.
