Itinerary

Stop 1

Start your tour with at 15 minute ride through the East side of the island to Betty's Hope Sugarmill Plantation. Betty's Hope is one of Antigua’s most historic sugar plantations and a powerful symbol of the island’s colonial past. Established in the 17th century, it was once a major producer of sugar and rum. Today, visitors can explore the restored twin windmill towers, museum exhibits, and scenic grounds while learning about the plantation’s history, the sugar-making process, and the lives of the enslaved Africans who labored there.

Stop 2

View the natives farm land areas as well as the famous Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium as we take a 30 minute ride to the East Coast part of the island. Arrive at Devil's Bridge where our expert guide will lead you down the rocky craters to where the Atlantic waves crash dramatically against the shore. Here, you'll be immersed in rich historical tales and enthralled by enchanting local folklore.

Stop 3

Pass through the local communities as you drive through the southern coast of the island towards Shirley Heights. Get a breathtaking view of this postcard pictureque spot overlooking the famous Harbour.

View the remaining preserved culture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your Tour ends with a 30 minute ride through the center of the isle back to your original pickup destination.
