Arrival in Paradise

Touching down at Antigua International Airport, I was immediately enveloped by the warm, tropical air that whispered promises of adventure. As a seasoned traveler and former professional surfer, I’ve learned that the journey is just as important as the destination. This time, I was headed to the serene shores of Willikies, a place I had heard was a hidden gem for those seeking tranquility and a touch of adventure.

The shared ride from the airport to my hotel was the perfect start to my island escapade. As I stepped out of the terminal, I was greeted by a friendly driver who seemed to embody the island’s laid-back vibe. With a quick check of my travel voucher, we were off, cruising through the lush landscapes of Antigua. The ride was smooth, and the driver shared local insights and stories that made the journey feel like a personal tour of the island.

The Scenic Route

As we drove, I couldn’t help but admire the vibrant scenery that unfolded outside the window. The island’s natural beauty was on full display, with rolling hills, verdant forests, and glimpses of the azure Caribbean Sea. It was a visual feast that set the tone for the adventures that lay ahead.

The shared ride was not just a means of transportation; it was an introduction to the island’s charm. The driver pointed out local landmarks and even suggested some off-the-beaten-path beaches that promised excellent surfing conditions. As someone who thrives on the thrill of catching the perfect wave, I made mental notes of these spots, eager to explore them during my stay.

Arrival at Willikies

Arriving at my hotel in Willikies, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. The journey had been seamless, and the shared ride had provided a glimpse into the island’s soul. I was ready to dive into the adventures that awaited me, from surfing the pristine waves to snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters.

The shared transportation service had set the stage for an unforgettable island experience. It was more than just a ride; it was a warm welcome to a place that felt like home. As I settled into my hotel, I knew that the days ahead would be filled with exploration, relaxation, and the kind of carefree joy that only island life can offer.
