Cross to Antigua's wild sister island for an empty 17-mile pink-sand beach and the largest frigate bird colony in the Caribbean, reachable by fast ferry or short flight.

Play Antigua's two main courses, the 18-hole layout at Jolly Harbour and hilly Cedar Valley near St. John's, both with trade-wind breezes and sea views.

See Antigua's 365 beaches, reefs and harbours from the air on a scenic helicopter flight, with longer trips reaching the smoking volcano of nearby Montserrat.

Ride gentle horses along Antigua's west-coast sand and, on bareback rides, wade and swim with them in the warm Caribbean shallows.

Ride Antigua's reliable trade winds at flat-water and freestyle spots like Jabberwock Beach and Nonsuch Bay, with schools for beginners and space for pros.

Glide across Antigua's calm leeward bays and into mangrove creeks by paddleboard or kayak, an easy, scenic workout suited to all ages.

Fly through the canopy of Antigua's rainforest belt on a course of zip lines and aerial bridges, set in the green hills near scenic Fig Tree Drive.

Charter a yacht from Antigua's harbours and sail a coastline of 365 beaches, from sheltered English Harbour to the trade-wind anchorages of the south and west.

Dive Antigua's reefs, walls and wrecks in warm, clear water, from the long Cades Reef to the dramatic underwater cliffs of the Pillars of Hercules near English Harbour.

Join Antigua's famous Sunday sunset party on the Shirley Heights ridge: steel-pan music, barbecue, rum punch and a hilltop view over two historic harbours.

Snorkel Antigua's fringing reefs, from the long Cades Reef to the gentle Deep Bay wreck and the clear water off Green Island, with sites for first-timers and confident swimmers.

Wade and snorkel on a shallow sandbar in the protected North Sound where friendly southern stingrays glide around you, a calm, family-favourite half-day on the water.
