WELCOME

Welcome to Antigua's National Parks! Like other national parks around the globe, Antigua's is made up of the most beautiful, stunning scenery and 'money can't buy' experiences. However, what sets Antigua's apart is it's own unique features that you can't find anywhere else. So why is it so unique? Well it's fair to say that you will struggle to find anywhere else a place where you can find over 300 years of history, discover nature in it's most unusual and rarest forms both on land and below water, be exposed to breathtaking views, hike through the national parks on trails ranging from easy to difficult, find a range of shops, hotels and restaurants to relax, participate in memorable and international events and have it all on the coast and within half an hour's walking distance of each other.

We consider our job to be to help guide you on how to choose what you want out of your experience at the parks, educate you in it's heritage and most of all help you enjoy it's natural beauty at your own leisure and pace.

This website is just the start of your national parks experience. Whether visiting for the day, staying in the dockyard at one of our fabulous hotels, wanting to experience one of our international events, inspired to help out in the area, interested to know more about those who run the park or looking for help with forms and immigration on entering the country through the dockyard, you can access all that information right here, quickly and efficiently. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to visit our Contact section to contact one of our team who would be more than willing to help you.

From everyone at Antigua's National Parks, welcome to Antigua and we look forward to seeing you enjoying our National Parks!
