Rondreis door Antigua
Beschrijving
Het natuurwonder Devils Bridge en de gerestaureerde historische Nelsons Dockyard zijn twee van de vele interessante bezienswaardigheden tijdens deze tour. Rijden door de dorpen aan de zuidkant van het eiland waar de Antigua Black Pineapple (de zoetste ter wereld) leeft, is een bonus tijdens een tour.

Het uitzicht vanaf Shirley Heights, hoog boven English Harbour, is gewoon geweldig. Het biedt een adembenemend uitzicht op de jachten die in de haven beneden liggen. Vernoemd naar gouverneur Thomas Shirley die de haven in 1781 versterkte. Op een heldere dag zijn de naburige eilanden vanaf dit uitkijkpunt te zien.
Nelsons Dockyard, vernoemd naar admiraal Horatio Nelson, een Britse marineofficier die tussen 1784 en 1787 in deze Royal Navy Dockyard woonde. De 18e/19e-eeuwse gebouwen van de Dockyard zijn volledig gerestaureerd in hun oorspronkelijke pracht en herbergen alle moderne voorzieningen. Opgeleide gidsen bij de hand om u te informeren over de geschiedenis van de scheepswerf
Een natuurlijk fenomeen dat is ontstaan door duizenden jaren van erosie toen de Atlantische golven tegen de rotsen sloegen en zo Devils Bridge vormden. Deze brug is gevuld met geisers en blowholes. Er wordt gezegd dat veel tot slaaf gemaakte Afrikanen zelfmoord pleegden in hun laatste poging om aan de verschrikkingen van de slavernij te ontsnappen. Een must see tijdens een bezoek aan Antigua.

We were surprised to be alone on board with our driver. We thought we would be sharing a van with other tourists. It was very pleasant to be able to chat with VELMA, who took the time to articulate for us French speakers.

This was the perfect way to see some of the highlights of the Antigua! The tour included every stop I wanted to see, and Benjamin was the perfect guide. He answered every last question I had about Antiguan landmarks, history, and culture. He even stopped so we could try a local tamarind fruit straight off a tree! Overall, it was a great half-day tour, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get off their resort for a bit and see more of the island.
