Things to do in
BARBUDA
Imagine the warmth of the sun on your skin, softened by the touch of a cool trade wind breeze. The
soothing rhythm of waves crashing against the shoreline, blending perfectly with the sounds of nature
around you. The cool, refreshing taste of your favourite tropical drink, perfect in every way! Everything
in these ethereal surroundings craftily aims to lull you off to sleep, as you lounge comfortably on the
beach while soaking up the Caribbean sunshine . . .
You have just imagined the perfect tropical island paradise for a vacation or a “stay-cation”. Now, open
your eyes. You’re actually on the Caribbean island of Barbuda which offers a veritable amount of sun,
sea and sand, but there’s much more! In Barbuda, the beach is just the beginning!
GETTING HERE
There are several ways to get to Barbuda, but the main entry is via plane to the V.C. Bird International
Airport on neighbouring Antigua, then a 15 minute connecting flight to Barbuda. Travellers also have
the option of getting here via yacht as yachts of different sizes visit the island on a regular basis.
