Where we sail and drive
Our home is Antigua. Our sister island is Barbuda. Beyond that, our sister company Eagle Tours runs the crossings to Anguilla and St Barth's.

Antigua: 108 square miles of coast, rainforest and reef
Antigua is the larger of the two islands in the twin-island state, with a coastline of sheltered bays on the Caribbean side and Atlantic surf on the east. English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard sit in the south, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the only Georgian naval dockyard in the world still in use. Falmouth Harbour, next door, is where the superyachts moor.
Our land tours climb through Fig Tree Drive — the rainforest ridge that runs down the middle of the island — and stop at Betty's Hope, a 17th-century sugar plantation with two stone windmills still standing. On the north-west coast, Dickenson Bay is where the Mystic II sunset cruise sets sail; on the Atlantic side, Half Moon Bay and Long Bay are the quiet beaches.
Offshore, Cades Reef is the island's largest reef formation, and Green Island, off the north-east coast, is uninhabited and ringed by shallow water.

Barbuda: the long beach and the frigate birds
Barbuda lies about 30 miles north of Antigua — a flat, low island of scrub and sand that feels nothing like its busier neighbour. Low Bay runs for 17 miles along the western shore and is often described as the longest beach in the Caribbean. In season you can see turtle tracks in the sand.
The Frigate Bird Sanctuary, in the island's lagoon, is one of the largest colonies of magnificent frigate birds in the world. Our Barbuda day tour transfers guests into small fishing boats for a 45-minute guided tour of the colony, with commentary from a local guide.
Tropical Adventures is the only tour operator offering organised day tours to Barbuda. The tour runs on Fridays and is not available from November to April.
