Explore the Caves
One thing that few people know about Anguilla is that it is honeycombed with caves. The torrid Cavannagh Cave with the petrified remains of a giant 3400-pound rodent and a chute that drops 60 feet before hitting the water and the large, cool interior of the Katouche Cave with a tree growing out of an opening in the roof and the twittering of bats filling the air with their high-pitched squeaks are in the Katouche Valley.
The Fountain Cavern close to Shoal Bay is an ancient ceremonial site with a magnificent stone carving and is graced with two subterranean freshwater pools surrounded by Amerindian drawings. All of the caves have metal grids over the entrance to protect them and require a guide. Oliver Hodge is a very well-respected and knowledgeable guide on the island and can be contacted through Katouche Tours.
Horseback Riding
Nestled on the shores of the captivating Caribbean Sea, Seaside Stables in Anguilla offers an exceptional horseback riding experience like no other. This renowned equestrian haven welcomes visitors to explore the island’s scenic beauty from a different perspective – on horseback.
At Seaside Stables, riders of all skill levels can enjoy guided horseback rides that meander along the pristine beaches, traverse lush tropical landscapes, and even include a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters. The friendly and experienced guides ensure your safety and comfort as they lead you on a memorable journey through the island’s hidden gems.
