Take a hike on Antigua … or go fishing

#ANTIGUA has a number of coastal and rainforest hikes to suit all abilities, as well as several experienced #hiking groups which visitors are welcome to join. 

The 5AM Hikers meet every Saturday, hiking from 5am to 8am, covering four miles of open country. The route changes each week, but the end-destination is always a spot where the Antigua sunrise can be appreciated.

The Antigua Hash House Harriers is another established hiking group, started by a group of British expats which meets every other Saturday. The Harrier trail is marked ahead of time by 'hares' and the 'hounds' or hikers can choose to run, walk or jog the route.

Many of the frequently-used trails are well sign-posted and maintained, making them easy to navigate without a guide. The hike to Boggy Peak, Antigua's highest peak and a symbolic landmark – re-named Mount Obama in 2008 – is a great way to experience the diversity of Antigua's landscape.

FROM marlin to kingfish, the waters surrounding Antigua have abundant sea life prime for reeling in. The island also has a vibrant sports #fishing community with popular tournaments throughout the year, established fishing charters, and several fishing tour operators.

The annual Sports Fishing Tournament (May 14-15) is an opportunity to fish alongside local enthusiasts.

Anglers in Antigua have the option of deep sea fishing (or trawling), reef, and inshore fishing. www.antiguabarbudasportsfishing.com
