Description

Go on an immersive journey through one of the most enchanting and ecologically diverse Antiguan sites, Great Bird Island, then dive into a snorkeling experience or relax on a white sand beach in paradise.
Your adventure begins with a scenic ride through the lush tropical landscape, then get on a boat, making your way from the mainland to Great Bird Island, a 20-acre islet riddled with enchanting and ecological diversity. As you approach the island's shores, you'll be mesmerized by the crystal-clear turquoise waters and the lush greenery that blankets the landscape. Don your snorkeling gear and dive into an aquatic experience that takes you swimming and seeing the Hawksbill and Green turtles. As you venture deeper into the island's interior, you'll find yourself surrounded by a dense forest teeming with life. Hike up a hilltop trail to take in the breathtaking views of the outlying islands, and depending on the time of year, you may get to see the migration of whales, sea turtles and a variety of birds who call this island home throughout the year. Try to spot the Antiguan Racer Snake, only about 20cm long, non-venomous and completely harmless. You will also encounter a remarkable variety of bird species, including Red-billed Tropicbird, Brown Pelican, and Frigate bird, soaring above the treetops. Your guide will point out these magnificent creatures and share interesting facts about their behavior and habitat.  After an adventurous day spent exploring, laze about on the beach, sinking your toes into the pristine white sand, where a delicious island lunch is yours to be had, complemented by a tasty tropical drink. Discover the wonders of this extraordinary island on an unforgettable journey into the heart of untouched paradise.
