5.0 Anguilla Watersports (111 reviews)
- One of the best experiences in Anguilla!
Monday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Surfing & Windsurfing • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing

One of the best experiences in Anguilla! Took 6 hrs of kiteboarding lessons over a week long vacation. If you're intimidated by something that seems so extreme, don't be. Anguilla Watersports teaches you all the basics and structures the lesson to go at whatever pace you're comfortable with. With their help I was improving at a much faster pace than learning on my own. By the end I was able to ride independently and really felt comfortable on the water with the kite (and have some amazing pictures and videos). Judd is an amazing instructor and a great all around person, would highly recommend to anyone looking to be a bit more active during their stay on Anguilla to get in touch with Anguilla Watersports.

5.0 Vigilant Divers Anguilla (84 reviews)
- Go Diving, Safety 1st on this boat!
Scuba & Snorkelling

Rob responded quickly to my emails prior to my visit with detailed instructions. I arrived about 10 minutes early to the pickup point and he was ready to go. Gear was organized and already hooked up on the boat. Diving was great and he reviewed and tripled checked all gear with me. My only comment is the water is little rough, so if you are sea sensitive, the surface interval maybe a bit of a struggle. I appreciate that he keeps the dives to small groups of 3-4 people, it makes transitions go way faster. (In and out the boat) Kudos to Rob and Xander! See more..

Joe and Celeste were an absolute highlight of our recent trip to Anguilla. We planned a couples massage on the beach and everything was perfection - a great way to kickstart our babymoon vacation!

Both Joe and Celeste are experts in their craft. Incredible massages and wonderful human beings! We look forward to seeing them again!! See more..

My daughter and I went to explore, with Jackie Cestero, Anguilla’s beautiful birds in their natural habitat and it was just wonderful and so relaxing. We could hike a little and also take some rest at a little deserted beach / cove: Best natural medicine for my mental health and fitness! All stress disappeared while watching so many types of birds and their chicks. We fully enjoyed our morning with Jackie who is an expert, extremely knowledgeable and a perfect guide. See more..

5.0 Body and Soul (7 reviews)
- fantastic massages outside in the gazebo we were staying at....
Health Clubs

Suzie and her partner came right on time. They were familiar with our spot and super friendly. They knew what they were doing and set up in record time. My husband and I went together for a couple's massage. We agreed they were both excellent. Suzie found knots in his shoulder he didn't even know he had. She worked them out and he has a new appreciation for massage. I have always appreciated it and I feel like I got more mobility in neck movements after the massage. My neck and shoulders are where I tense up during travel or work outs or writing or reading. We were able to listen to the waves and enjoy a wonderful hour thorough and deep massage. Then our 3 adult children all received massages and they loved them too. The products smelled and felt good. We highly recommend Suzie and her partner. See more..

- The art of island living
Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Art Galleries

Personally was invited by the great Sir Roland Richardson who is a humble and very gifted artist. There are a variety of island art either painted or etched, all done on site. The Flamboyant flowers/trees paintings are my favorite. I love how he captures the essence of island living and was even transported circa 1990 where Anguilla beaches were still untouched and you can only find racing boats perched on the sand and a domino table under the shade of grape trees...

Worth the trip into the Valley. See more..
5.0 Rhum Room (1 review)
- "the Rum" Experience on Anguilla
Monday: 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM Distillery Tours

So it's no secret there is no rum being produced on Anguilla for a while now but if you love rum/rhum/ron as much as I do and enjoy it while visiting this amazing region of the world you should come to Rhum Room at the Zemi/Hilton Property - whether you want to have a sip of something from their very extensive list of "my favorite poison" or to check out their super unique and cool looking cocktails... or my fav part chat with Princess who is running this Room nowadays and is very passionate about rum as well! There is no fee to enter or you don't book in advance - you just visit here while on the spot (we didn't stay here) or just arrive as an outside guest and let them know you would like to see/visit the Rhum Room - it's right between their two restaurants. The craft cocktails were tasty and very picturesque - and also very well priced! TIP: I had asked all over the island for even a Bush Rum and the closest to a local product you can get on Anguilla is different fruits/seeds/spices soaked in white rum, similar to what you can find at some St Martin/St Maarten/St Bath souvenir stores (not here at Hilton though) See more..

4.5 Chocolat and Captain Rollins (89 reviews)
- Must do!!
Food Tours

Don't get stuck on a large catamaran w a ton of people. Take Chocolat and enjoy the day on essentially a private charter. Captain is just an awesome guy. First mate Dion is easy going and super nice. This was my favorite activity of the week. Great swimming at Little Bay then on to Prickly Pear island for lunch and the To Sandy Island for drinks. And just like that - the day was over. The boat has a smaller capacity then the mega cats - which is why you do this sail. So much more individual flexibility and much more fun. If you have a group this is a must do. We had 7 total in our group and had the boat to ourselves. Captain even taught me to sail. I can't rave enough about this activity. Again as I've said in other posts - remember you are on Angullia - just relax and don't get amped up at things that just don't matter and go with it. You'll have a much better time. High maintenance people always tend to be hard to please I've noticed on TA so just chill and remember you're on vacation.....in Anguilla... See more..
4.5 Crocus Bay Beach (29 reviews)
- Amazing little beach
Spent More than 3 hours Beaches

This was one of our favourite Anguilla beaches. The waters were calm and you could take kayaks or boats to Little Bay. There were beach chairs and umbrellas free of charge if you have a drink or food in the very nice beach restaurant. See more..
