About this activity

Discover Antigua’s history, tropical landscapes, and coastal scenery in one memorable day. Explore Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and take in sweeping views over English Harbour from Shirley Heights. Continue along Fig Tree Drive through lush greenery, then follow the coast for views of turquoise waters, sandy beaches, and the open Caribbean Sea.

Along the way, enjoy a tasting of local fruits, including Antigua’s celebrated black pineapple. A 15-minute stop at Darkwood Beach offers time to take photos and admire the coastal scenery before continuing your tour. This is a sightseeing and photo stop, rather than a swimming stop rounding out a day of history, island flavours, and beautiful views.
