Kate45 Posted October 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2018 one of the people is our group is in a motorized wheelchair so any kind of a tour is out. We were just going to hang out by the pier. Is there stuff to do within walking distance here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylork Posted October 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2018 there are a few shopping centers nearby the port, restaurants, ice cream shops, craft market selling souvenirs etc. there is enough for you to have a pleasant day without going on a tour. Will the person on in the wheel chair prefer to stay near the port or will they prefer to see a bit more of the island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate45 Posted October 8, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted October 8, 2018 We would love to be able to take her on a tour but she is paralyzed and is unable to get out of the wheelchair so finding a tour with a lift is not really an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZiffle Posted October 8, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Somebody correct me, but I don't recall the port area in Antigua as being very accommodating for a wheelchair. I recall a slightly uphill walk with a few steps every block or so along the sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawaiiUK Posted October 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I happened to see this when I was looking for something else. Don't know if it's of any use? https://www.accessiblecaribbeanvacations.com/antigua-accessible-shore-excursions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrusQueen Posted October 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Kate45, I was doing a search for a land tour and came across this tour. Maybe you would be interested. Tour has good reviews. http://www.lawrenceofantigua.com/index.php If you will check out the paragraph above the second picture, you will see that he does tours for people confined to wheelchair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KcInGa Posted November 12, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It took me a while, but I found a company capabale of doing wheelchair transport and tours in Antigua. We are going next week. http://www.lawrenceofantigua.com/ We decided to do a day pass to Starfish Jolly, but he is taking us there. My husband uses an electric wheelchair and cannot walk at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
