Backpacking in All Saints
🌟 Highlighttown ranked #2
By Johan Kruseman 🇳🇱 | Updated September 23, 2026

All Saints is not for anyone chasing resort pools, glossy marinas, or a packed bar crawl. It’s for when you want to feel the island’s everyday heartbeat and still keep your pack moving. Sitting inland near the crossroads of Antigua’s main roads, roughly southeast of St. John’s, All Saints is a low-rise sprawl of houses, rum shops, churches, and cricket fields at the center of Antigua & Barbuda’s main island. As a backpacker, you use it more as a functional hub than a “must-see” town: a place to change buses, grab cheap local food, and launch toward places like English Harbour, Shirley Heights, or the south-coast beaches. It’s cheaper and less polished than St. John’s, quieter than English Harbour, and not especially social for travelers; expect shared minibuses, walking on uneven roads, basic safety common sense, and evenings that wind down early rather than explode into nightlife.

🌤️ When to go?Seasonal considerations and timing

  • Weather: The dry season from December to April is your best bet—expect clear skies and low humidity. The wet season, May to November, brings heavy showers and a risk of hurricanes, which can turn your beach days into soggy waits indoors.
  • Temperature: Daytime highs hover around 28-31°C (82-88°F) in the dry months, perfect for sweating it out on trails or lounging by the sea without melting. The wet season is warmer but stickier, with highs creeping up to 32°C (90°F), making exertion less pleasant.
  • Daylight Hours: Daylight is fairly consistent year-round, roughly 11 to 12 hours. But in the dry season, the sun feels sharper and the evenings cooler, which means longer, more comfortable days for exploring All Saints.

  • Weather: The dry season from December to April is your best bet—expect clear skies and low humidity. The wet season, May to November, brings heavy showers and a risk of hurricanes, which can turn your beach days into soggy waits indoors.
  • Temperature: Daytime highs hover around 28-31°C (82-88°F) in the dry months, perfect for sweating it out on trails or lounging by the sea without melting. The wet season is warmer but stickier, with highs creeping up to 32°C (90°F), making exertion less pleasant.
  • Daylight Hours: Daylight is fairly consistent year-round, roughly 11 to 12 hours. But in the dry season, the sun feels sharper and the evenings cooler, which means longer, more comfortable days for exploring All Saints.
  • Crowds: Peak tourist season aligns with the dry months, especially around Christmas and Easter. Expect more backpackers and higher prices then. The shoulder months, like November and May, offer quieter streets and a more local vibe.
  • Seasonal Activities: The Antigua Sailing Week in late April is a highlight, drawing crowds but also offering a unique cultural buzz. Outside this, local festivals and beach parties tend to cluster in the dry season, giving you a chance to dive into authentic island life.
  • Price Fluctuations: Accommodation and flights spike during the dry season’s holidays. Booking early can save you a chunk, but if you’re flexible, the wet season offers steep discounts—just be ready for the weather trade-off.
Pro-tip: Aim for late November or early May—just before or after the dry season—to snag decent weather, fewer crowds, and better prices, making your All Saints adventure feel like a well-earned secret.

The light in the late afternoon filters through palm fronds, casting long shadows that invite you to slow down and soak in the island’s rhythm—something you won’t get from the flashier parts of town.

  • Walking: The heart of All Saints is compact enough to explore on foot. Streets are uneven in spots, so sturdy shoes are a must. Walking lets you soak in the scent of sea breeze mixed with roadside cooking fires and catch the subtle shifts in light as the sun dips. It’s free, reliable, and the best way to discover tucked-away shops and local chatter.
  • Route Taxis: These shared minivans run on flexible schedules, often departing once full rather than on the hour. Expect to pay around EC$3-5 per ride. They’re the budget traveler’s lifeline for hopping between All Saints and nearby villages. The ride can be bumpy and crowded, but it’s a front-row seat to everyday life—windows down, music spilling out, and the driver’s quick banter.
  • Local Buses: Operated by government or private companies, buses follow rough schedules, usually starting around 6:00 AM and winding down by 6:00 PM. Fares hover near EC$2-4. Buses are slower but more comfortable than route taxis, with fixed stops that make planning easier. They’re ideal if you want a predictable ride without the hassle of haggling fares.
  • Motorbike Rentals: For those comfortable on two wheels, renting a motorbike offers freedom to explore beyond All Saints at your own pace. Prices start around EC$60 per day. The trade-off is exposure to sun and wind, plus the need for caution on narrow, sometimes potholed roads. Still, the thrill of the open road and the ability to chase light and shade on your schedule is unbeatable.
  • Taxi Services: Metered taxis exist but are pricier, often starting at EC$15 for short trips within town. They’re best reserved for late-night returns or when you’re hauling heavy gear. Negotiate fares upfront if meters aren’t used, and expect a smoother, quicker ride than public options—comfort comes at a cost.
