Anguilla / Special Interests / Island Tours

By Sara Macefield

Tours of Anguilla are generally led by the taxi drivers, most of whom have undergone training in the history of the island. There is not a huge amount to see and you will cover the length of the island in a couple of hours, but you will have a good idea of the layout of Anguilla and of course the location of the beaches.

Try the following: 

Wendell & Celsa Connor, t 235 5777 
Franklyn Richardson (aka Brods), t 235 6052 
Mac Pemberton, t 235 6855. 

Also the ground-handlers offer tours. Contact: 

Bennie's Travel & Tours, The Valley, t 497 2788 
Carib-World Travel (Anguilla) Ltd, Water Swamp, t 497 3613 
Malliouhana Travel & Tours, The Valley, t 497 2431. 

Walking Tours, t 497 2711. 
If you want something more detailed, then Emile Gumbs and his son Laurie offer an excellent guided walking tour of the Sandy Ground area, where there is good birdlife on the salt pond (which itself has an interesting story). Then you will be shown Wallblake House. They also do a walking tour in the eastern end of the island. 

Off the Beaten Track, t 497 2878. 
Freelance travel writer and tour guide, Ijahnya Christian, will put together a private 2-5 hour tour of the island away from the regular tourist haunts. Tours are tailored to suit your interests focusing on Anguillian history, architecture, local traditions and island life.
