8 Ways to Experience History and Beauty in Antigua

Antigua Rainforest Zipline Tours

Does soaring through a tropical rainforest on a stainless steel wire sound like a good time to you? If so, don’t miss a chance to take one of the Antigua Rainforest Zipline tours. Choose from packages that include anywhere from six to 12 zip-lines, or try your hand at the more strenuous challenge course.

Take in the natural beauty from a treehouse or relax by the rock pool after getting your Certificate of Bravery. Young or old, the zip-lines are appropriate for most ages and will inspire a sense of thrilling adventure no matter what your experience level.

Betty’s Hope

Founded over 300 years ago, Betty’s Hope was one of many slave-run sugar plantations operating on Antigua. Although not much is left of the former buildings, visitors can follow a trail system to view the ruins of each of the buildings where the sugar cane was stored, processed and turned into sugar crystals or rum.

Twin windmills used to crush the sugar cane have been restored to working order, giving the site a picturesque quality and allowing for a rare glimpse into the plantation’s past. A visitor’s center and museum give further insight into the history and workings of the plantation, with photos, maps and artifacts from the early days of its operations on display.
