Horseback Riding

Comparatively dry Antigua is best for beach rides, though you won't find anything wildly romantic and deserted à la Black Stallion.

Antigua Equestrian Center. The former Spring Hill Riding Club specializes in equestrian lessons in show jumping and dressage but also offers $65 hour-long trail rides on the beach or through the bush past ruined forts, $125 for two hours (bareback riding in the ocean is an additional $45); half-hour private lessons from a British Horse Society instructor are $35.
