Anguilla / Island Tours

By James Henderson

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. Another way to tour the island is on its crystal blue waters.

Also the ground handlers offer tours, we recommend contacting one of the following:

Bennie's Travel & Tours, The Valley
Carib-World Travel (Anguilla) Ltd, Water Swamp
Malliouhana Travel & Tours, The Valley

Walking Tours - 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 - 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.

Art Tour of Anguilla Map - a self guided tour using the ‘art map’ which gives the location and description of Anguilla’s art/craft galleries and artists studios. Copies of the map are available from the Anguilla Tourist Board, shops and galleries.
