What To Expect

1. Nelson's Dockyard Nelson’s Dockyard is the largest of Antigua’s National Parks and is still used today as a working dockyard for numerous yachts and ships. The restored eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings of the Dockyard are presently home to shops, hotels and marina businesses. Outside the dockyard, historic forts dot the landscape of the park accessible by hiking trails which allow visitors to enjoy the park’s scenic and natural beauty. There is endless opportunity to capture the beauty of the parks. With many glorious boats in the dockyard, the beautiful harbour, the historic sites and the unforgettable views will leave you in awww. 30 minutes

2. Betty's Hope Betty’s Hope was a sugarcane plantation in Antigua. It was established in 1650, shortly after the island had become an English colony, and flourished as a successful agricultural industrial enterprise during the centuries of slavery. It was the first large-scale sugar plantation to operate in Antigua and belonged to the Codrington family from 1674 until 1944. Christopher Codrington, later Captain General of the Leeward Islands, acquired the property in 1674 and named it Betty’s Hope, after his daughter. Betty's Hope is no longer operational as a plantation. However, the structures which consist of the twin windmills, the Cistern Complex have been restored in serviceable condition, the Great House (Buff or Estate House) in ruins, the Boiling House where sixteen copper hoppers which were used to boil cane juice to produce crystalline sugar, and the Still House, a distillery was used for manufacturing rum. A visitor center has been created by converting a former cotton house storeroom into a museum. This includes various aspects of the plantation's history and shows early estate plans, pictures and maps, artifacts and a model of the central site to giving an overview of the of "Betty's Hope". A interesting peak into Antigua’s history. 30 minutes

3. Devil's Bridge Devil's Bridge is a natural arch carved by the sea from soft and hard limestone ledges of the Antigua formation, a geological division of the flat north-eastern part of Antigua. A bridge was created when a soft part of the limestone eroded away by action of Atlantic breakers over countless centuries. During calm days, you can enjoy a walk on the rocks that form the bridge and on days when the water is shooting up, enjoy the sea sprays. Devil’s Bridge is quite an experience. 15 minutes

4. Long Bay Long Bay on the east coast offers fine white sand and crystal blue waters, making it a great place for snorkeling or just relaxing in the sun. You'll find coral reefs in water so shallow that you can actually walk out to them. Along the beach are Long Bay Hotel and Pineapple Beach Resort. 30 minutes

5. Valley Church Beach Valley church beach is a popular destination for many. It has lovely water and good facilities. The beach has quite grainy sand, which is very soft. One of Antigua’s 365 pristine white sand beaches, located in the Jolly Harbour area. Swim, snorkel, relax or just bury your feet in the powder like sand and enjoy the views. 30 minutes

6. Dow's Hill Interpretation Centre Dow’s Hill has an interpretation centre offers a knowledgeable 15 minute video presentation on the history, culture and heritage of Antigua and Barbuda. It takes you back to a time that have made Antigua what it is today. It offers a fascinating insight into the Antiguan way of life and if you are looking for an introduction to Antigua, we strongly recommend visiting Dow’s Hill for a relaxed and informative start to your visit on the island. Café and gift shop on site. 30 minutes

7. Shirley Heights Drive up to Shirley Heights and stroll around the old military fortifications. The buildings have been adapted to function as a restaurant and bar. A spectacular view over English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour greets you, showing a scene that is often used as the iconic image of Antigua. A visit to Shirley Heights is considered one of the must do events in Antigua. 30 minutes

8. The Blockhouse High above English Harbour in Nelson’s Dockyard National Park sits the Blockhouse, a brick ruin. On a perch overlooking the southeastern coast of Antigua, the circa-1787 site encompasses an officer’s quarters and those of servants, as well as stables. An ammunition-storage space, a catchment and a cistern have been restored in recent years. A great piece of Antigua’s history. 30 minutes

A great day!

Published on Jun, 2024

We had Rob as our guide for the day. We were picked up on time and Rob discussed what we would like to do. We had no idea so asked him to plan the day taking in the main sights. We went to Bettys Hope, Devils Bridge, The Blockhouse, Shirley Heights, Nelsons Dockyard and saw eastern, western and southern side beaches and the rainforest in the centre finishing at Jolly Harbour. Rob gave us loads of information about sights as well as telling us about living in Antigua. We stopped for lunch in a traditional restaurant to try local dishes and we had black pineapple in the afternoon. We also had cold water and rum punch during the day. We would really reccommend this as a great way to see the many sights of antigua. Vehicle was very comfy and had air con. Thank you Rob for a great day.

One of the best ways to experience Antigua!

Published on May, 2024

Our tour guide Rob was exceptional! He took great care of us, had so much knowledge at every stop and made sure we were having a great time! He was professional, extremely kind and always on time with every thing and even made sure we got the chance to taste black pineapple which was splendid!

Amazing tour!

Published on May, 2024

My husband and I took our honeymoon in Antigua for 10 days. We went on this tour on day 3 to get a feel for life and business on the island. The tour covered all of the sites that we researched and were interested in. Our tour guide, Rob, was able to provide us with a lot of history about the island and answered all of our questions. On the way back to our resort, we got stuck in a flood, which apparently never happens in Antigua. It was interesting watching that unfold. As a result of all the places we checked out, we were able to determine where we wanted to re-visit during our stay on the island. I would highly recommend this tour!

THE BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!!

Published on May, 2024

THIS is the tour you want to book! Rob was THE BEST tour guide ever! We had specific beaches we wanted to see and he followed our itinerary without giving us a hard time. He even suggested a few of his own, based on the criteria we had. There’s no way we would have been able to experience all we did and learn so much without him. His hospitality and professionalism were 10/10! His car was clean and comfortable and his driving smooth. Trust me, you want to book this tour guide! Rob is the best and we can’t say enough positive things about him!

Antigua tour! A view from the ground!

Published on May, 2024

We did this excursion with VIP Tours 4 years ago and enjoyed it so much we decided to do it again! Rob gave us a fantastic tour and was flexible with the time so we could concentrate on the things we enjoy most! Included a stop for lunch for authentic Antiguan cuisine-de-lish!
