The third stop on our trip was Antigua. This may have been my favorite island, but it so hard to pick. We had a great day taking Eli’s Eco Tour which was highly recommended in my research. Everyone was right! We had an awesome time exploring the islands of Antigua.

The first two hours were spent cruising around the islands exploring the shoreline. Our first stop was at Great Bird Island and hiked to the top for an amazing view (on the left the third image down, and in the middle the second image down). After this a catered lunch was served on board with someone of the best BBQ chicken I’ve ever had. Our next, and my favorite, stop was at Hell’s Gate. As I mentioned in my February 1st post we anchored offshore and swam over to the island where we were lead on hike through the island and over the archway. It was unlike anything I’ve ever done before and totally beautiful (images 5 and 6 in the middle column). The rest of the day was spent snorkeling and enjoying sites from the boat. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re ever in Antigua – the crew was great and you can’t beat the scenery.

I’ll be posting about the last two stops of our strip St Lucia and Barbados next week. Stay tuned as my month long blog marathon continues 🙂
