Great day in Antigua! - Amazing day and great way to pack in multiple activities! My family loved the zip lining, lunch was great, and then finished up with kayaking and snorkeling in the beautiful water!! Rum to finish the trip off was the perfect ending. We did this with our 2 kids (10 and 12) and they loved it all too! Highly recommend.

After the zipline, hop back into the 4x4 jeep and head towards the island’s stunning south-west coast for the kayaking portion of the adventure. Paddle through the mangroves of the North Sound Marine Park, where your guide will enlighten you about the local marine and eco-system. This is a chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Antigua, with opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and a delectable lunch on Great Bird Island.

Afternoon E-Bike Exploration: Fort James and Mangrove Ecosystems

As the afternoon sun begins to mellow, switch gears and hop on an e-bike for the Antiguan Sunset Tour starting at 4:30 PM. This leisurely ride along Antigua’s western shore offers a perfect blend of history, nature, and stunning vistas. The e-bikes make it easy to navigate the terrain, allowing you to focus on the breathtaking views and the rich history of the area.

The tour takes you through the ruins of Fort James, where you can soak in the historical significance of this once-mighty fortress. As you ride, the guides share fascinating insights into the local culture and history, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. One reviewer shared their experience on 2025-02-02:

My fiancé and I had the opportunity to take a private adventure tour with Besto, Akilah, and Shaq. They were so fun and playful and we consider them our new Antiguan friends. The bikes were easy to operate and the guides all made sure you understood the workings. They took countless photos and videos plus drone footage. The only thing better than the outing will be all of the photos and videos from this special outing in Antigua.

Don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the majestic Antiguan sunset from the ruins. The golden hues reflecting off the water create a picture-perfect moment that you’ll want to remember forever.

Evening Reflections: Embracing the Island’s Dual Nature

As the day winds down, take a moment to reflect on the unique blend of sun and rain that defines a summer storm adventure in Saint John’s. The weather, with its warm temperatures and potential for rain, adds an element of unpredictability that only enhances the thrill of exploration. Whether you’re soaring through the treetops on a zipline or pedaling along the coast on an e-bike, the island’s natural beauty and vibrant culture are ever-present.

The high UV index and gusty winds remind us to embrace the elements, whether it’s by slathering on sunscreen or holding onto your hat as you ride. The chance of rain might seem like a deterrent, but it only adds to the lushness of the landscape and the vibrancy of the experience. As you sip on a rum punch and watch the sunset, you’ll find that the blend of sun and storm creates a perfect backdrop for adventure.

So pack your sunscreen, grab an umbrella, and get ready to embrace the sun and rain in Saint John’s. This is island living at its finest, where every moment is an opportunity for discovery and delight.
