Anguilla Activities
A Guide to Activities You and Your Destination Wedding Guests Can Enjoy in Anguilla
One indisputable highlight of being in the Caribbean is the endless list of activities ranging from adventure to sightseeing to relaxation. Your destination wedding on the stunning and secluded island of Anguilla will offer plenty to do for you and all your guests.
Anguilla is a small tropical island near Puerto Rico. Its population of only around 13,000 and its wealth of beaches and coves give the island a secluded vibe, yet one full of culture, wildlife and adventure that everyone can experience during their visit for your destination wedding.
Plan Various On-Shore Activities for You and Your Guests
Just as one might expect from the island’s historical and political ties to the United Kingdom, local culture shares an enthusiasm for both cricket and rugby. If you’d like, join locals in watching one of the island’s famous sports. Afterwards, you’ll have to decide if you feel energized enough to try out one of the island’s physical and active adventure sports or if you would rather take full advantage of the tranquility and scenery the island has to offer. Each day on your destination wedding vacation can bring something new!
Whether you’re an experienced horseback rider or in the mindset that it’s never too late to try something new, imagine the unsurpassed romance of a horseback ride down the pristine island beaches of Anguilla during your Caribbean wedding. Various tours or private rides can be arranged for almost every type of rider.
If you’d prefer wheels to hooves, travel the island on bicycle. The characteristic low flat terrain of Anguilla makes a bike the perfect method to combine activity and sightseeing, all the while giving you complete control of what adventures your day brings you. Bikes can be rented from hotels or tour operators. Better yet, to get more area covered, upgrade your bicycle to a moped!
Nature lovers can also delight in some rare bird watching opportunities during their destination wedding in Anguilla. The island is home to well over 100 species including a variety of egrets, herons, or ducks, some of which are rare or threatened. Many of these can be spotted around the salt ponds during a walk. Better yet, go on a tour in which a guide can help you identify the species and provide more information about island wildlife.
Dip Your Toes or Jump into the Caribbean Sea During Water Activities
Boat racing is the national sport of Anguilla, making it one of the more impressive sporting events for visitors to watch as you can learn about an important aspect of local culture. Those interested can embark on a cruise or sailing trip to visit some of the offshore hotspots and enjoy spectacular views. If you’re looking for something with a little more adrenaline, parasailing, waterskiing or windsurfing excursions can be arranged as well.
Anguilla’s famed coral reefs make snorkeling an ideal activity for your destination wedding in Anguilla. A snorkel and fins can be rented all over for offshore exploration, but taking a charter boat will get you further into the reef area. Snorkelers are rewarded with a spectacular swim among bright, tropical fish darting along coral caves in Anguilla’s turquoise waters.
Those wanting to interact more with marine wildlife during their Caribbean wedding vacation might take advantage of the chance of a lifetime by swimming with dolphins. In Anguilla, it’s possible to participate in enchanting encounters that allow you to swim right alongside dolphins in the water, touch them and even command them to do tricks.
Whether you are seeking excitement on land or water, your trip to tie the knot in Anguilla is sure to put all the fun and activity right at your fingertips. Your destination wedding on this beautiful Caribbean island will be one to remember for both you and your guests, filled with memories of adventure and exploration. |
