Itinerary
The Devil’s Bridge is a remarkable example of sea-water erosion. Geological, 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.
The Blockhouse is a brick ruin located high above English Harbour in Nelson's Dockyard National Park, overlooking the southeastern coast of Antigua. Constructed in the 18th century, it offers unobstructed views of Antigua's coastline.
At the most southerly tip of Antigua, The Lookout, part of the Shirley Heights Lookout military complex, commands a breathtaking view over the whole of English Harbour. Shirley Heights dates back to the 17th century. This historical site is said to have been built by the British military who were in control of Antigua at the time. A great photo opportunity!!
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. Fully restored to its original splendor, the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century buildings of the Dockyard house modern amenities such as shops, hotels, and marina businesses.
Fig Tree Drive runs through a green area of Antigua, past rainforests and massive banana trees (locals like to call figs). Roadside vendors sell local fruits , so don't pass by without asking them for some mango or black pineapple. Along the way you will pass by the ziplines and yes , look for a few beaches at end of it!!
Darkwood Beach offers some of the most iridescent seas and white beaches on the island, set on a backdrop of hilltops and tropical forestry; the views are both panoramic and spectacular also on a clear day, you can see Montserrat. Being one of the longest stretches of beach there is ample space to take it all in and with warm, alluring sea lapping up on pristine sands, there is plenty of reasons to visit!

We had an amazing experience with Leo. Leo was very kind, personable, and treated us like family. Leo took us around the beautiful island of Antigua and showed us his beautiful country and culture.
The tour guide was very informative. The scenery was beautiful and enough time was given to explore each stop on the tour.
This is a relaxed tour that covers the history of the island with some great views, topped off by a splendid beach. Juni is a delightful guide, insightful, friendly and humorous. A great option to see some highlights of Antigua.
