With such a rich nautical tradition (Antigua served as a port for many sailing routes), this island is home to many aquatic activities, including boating, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving.

For those wishing to delve a little deeper, Antigua offers numerous dive sites and is home to a truly unique marine program. The Swim with the Dolphins program provides travelers the opportunity to experience these gentle marine mammals up-close and personal. This program is housed in a 5.5 million gallon lagoon and is located at the Marina Bay in Antigua.

Besides an array of aquatic activities, Antigua also offers state-of-the-art facilities for golf, tennis and cricket. In fact, the Antigua Recreation Ground is one of the best places in the world to view a local, regional or international cricket match.
