- ITINERARY -


I always have butterflies when I get my first sight of Antigua. There’s something special about a place that’s warm all year round, has crystal clear water and white sandy beaches and such hospitable people. For me, getting into island style mode involves slowing my pace down and spending lots of time at the beach with friends and family, kiteboarding, boating, going for hikes and fishing. Kiteboarding in Antigua is a hidden gem most tourists don’t know about. If I just want to hang out then I love Half Moon Bay’s natural beauty or I play golf or hike. My favourite place to eat is Papa Zouk’s in St John’s and I love to hang out at the Lime Bar at English Harbour. I miss the laid-back lifestyle when I’m not in Antigua. Andre Phillip, Professional Kiteboarder, born in Antigua
