Holidays in Antigua & Barbuda – Caribbean

Getting there

Planes
Antigua is a main hub for the Caribbean Islands; reach it from the UK with five airlines: British Airways flies from Gatwick, Bmi flies from Manchester, Virgin Atlantic, First Choice and XL all fly from both fly from Gatwick. The flight time from the UK is approximately eight hours. LIAT, Caribbean Airlines, Carib Aviation and Caribbean Star Airlines provide inter-island connections, to popular holiday destinations, such as Barbados, Grenada and St Barths.
Boats
You can’t visit Antigua or Barbuda without a spray-splashed tour of the island – ask at your hotel about a boat trip, or go down to English Harbour and you’ll find a few options, port-side. Private boaters can enter at St John's Harbour, English Harbour, St James' Club or Crabbs Marina.
Automobiles
A car isn’t essential, but it is the best way to sample all the sights and get a taste of local culture. Mind you, you will benefit from a decent natural sense of direction as nothing’s properly signposted. Many of the car hire companies are based at Jolly Harbour. Try calling Iris at Sunny Rentals for great deals on 4x4s (+1 268 764 7610).
