Honeymoon Experiences on Anguilla
Anguilla National Trust Heritage Tours
The Anguilla National Trust (ANT) was founded in 1989 with the mandate to sustain the island’s natural and cultural heritage through active management and education for the benefit of today’s and tomorrow’s generations. The ANT has remained true to that mandate and since its formation, we have been instrumental in the creation of Anguilla’s national parks, conservation areas and heritage sites, and continue to be involved in their day-to-day management. We conduct essential research and conservation work, including habitat and species monitoring and we work year-round to raise public awareness about the fragility, complexity, and beauty of the island’s natural and cultural resources. Above all, we act as voice for Anguilla’s national heritage. The ANT has been in housed in the Old Customs Building in The Valley since 1991.
Katouche Hiking & Cave Tour
Katouche is an 80-acre estate, often referred to as the “rainforest” of Anguilla.
It is one of the only places where trees tower above the guest and foliage that is typically low scrub, grows to several times its height. Almost every plant indigenous to Anguilla may be found on this estate.
On the guided tour through the hiking trail, the guide shares the many medicinal and household uses of the plants and gives some insight on how Anguillians historically and currently utilize these plants in their day-to-day life. There are also two incredible natural caves on the Estate. One is Cavannaugh cave.
The second – Katouche Cave – is for the more adventurous participant. It winds underground to a depth of approximately 180ft, and considering that Anguilla is only 214ft above sea level, one can appreciate the extent of this cavern.
Katouche Cave Exploration
Descend very gently down to one of the deepest known areas on Anguilla and experience natural limestone “formations.” This cave is exciting and still very much preserved in its rustic state so as to give the adventurer an authentic experience of the natural environment of the cave. Incredibly, it is the only cave on Anguilla with partial remains of the now extinct ‘Amblyrhiza Inundata’, an animal which grew to the size of a deer several hundred years ago on Anguilla. At few places the adventurer is on hands and knees or climbing but the tour requires moderate flexibility
The Prickly Pear Cays
The Prickly Pear Cays are a pair of uninhabited island off the coast of Anguilla. (about a 6-mile trip) The islands are home to unspoiled white sand beaches and little else. Visit for the day to enjoy sunbathing on pristine beaches and snorkeling along coral reefs packed with marine life.
A once-daily boat leaves from in front of Johnno’s Beach Bar in Sandy Ground to shuttle travelers to the islands for six hours, but you can also arrange a private charter for more flexibility with departure and arrival times. Another option is to reserve through Gotcha Charters, which takes visitors out to Prickly Pear Cays on Wednesdays and Fridays for $65 per person (including lunch).
