5 Days in Antigua: A Balanced First-Visit Itinerary
One island, five days, no rushing
A five-day plan for a first trip to Antigua that mixes calm swimming beaches, the UNESCO sailing harbour at English Harbour, a catamaran or stingray day on the water, and the green interior along Fig Tree Drive, finishing with the island's best west-coast sunsets. Built around a rental car, with realistic pacing and one relaxed day per stretch of the island.
One Week in Antigua: The Classic 7-Day Itinerary
Seven days, both islands, and a different beach almost every day

Antigua with Kids: A 7-Day Family Itinerary
A full week, paced for families, with a built-in rest day
A seven-day Antigua plan built around children, from calm shallow beaches and a waist-deep stingray encounter to a half-day catamaran, a gentle rainforest zip line, and easy heritage stops that hold short attention spans. The week is deliberately unhurried, with a true rest day in the middle, short drives kept to a minimum, and practical family notes for every day so parents can plan around naps, sunscreen, and snack runs.
10 Days in Antigua and Barbuda: The In-Depth Twin-Island Itinerary
Two islands, ten days, no corners cut
A ten-day plan for travelers who want to see Antigua properly and add the rare, undeveloped sister island of Barbuda. Eight days cover Antigua across every region: the calm north-coast beaches, the UNESCO sailing harbour at English Harbour, a full day on the water, the green interior along Fig Tree Drive, the historic east coast, and the west-coast sunset beaches. The middle of the trip is two unhurried nights on Barbuda for the pink-sand beach and the Frigate Bird Sanctuary in Codrington Lagoon. Built around a rental car on Antigua and the Barbuda Express ferry, with realistic pacing throughout.
