This is a great way to see Antigua past and present on this guided historical tour. This extensive sightseeing tour includes popular sights including:

Devil’s Bridge- Devil’s Bridge is a natural rock arch in eastern Antigua. It is located on the Atlantic coast at 17°6′1.7″N 61°40′42.2″W, near Indian Town Point to the east of Willkies. The area around the arch features several natural blowholes which shoot up water and spray powered by waves from the Atlantic Ocean. This particular location is exposed to waves that are pushed by the Trade Winds with no land between here and Europe. Nearby popular local swimming spots such as Long Cove are sheltered by an offshore reef acts as a natural breakwater. In 2008 it was declared National Park

Shirley Heights- The Shirley Heights Lookout was first used during the War of American Independence (1774-1783) as a signal station and lookout for approaches to English Harbour. With French Guadeloupe directly to the south, the area was well suited for keeping Antigua’s coastline safe. A sentry could spot approaching sails and spread an alarm using flags during the day and firing signal guns at night. The signal system in Antigua was one of the best in the Caribbean, and the entire island could be on alert and know where to march within 10 minutes of the first signal. As the garrison along the Ridge grew, barracks for soldiers, water cisterns, and gun platforms were added to Shirley Heights to keep the Dockyard below safe.

Today, the Lookout is where you get THE ICONIC view of English Harbour and the Dockyard. It is a vibrant event space that hosts the popular Sunday Afternoon BBQ, and is a center for weddings, private events, and catering.

Dow’s Hill Interpretation Center- For the best view of the entirety of Nelson’s Dockyard National Park, the historic Dow’s Hill fortifications are unparalleled. Situated high above English Harbour, the panoramic view takes in the dramatic natural beauty of the Park. The fortification included Archibald Dow’s house at the summit of the hill. 

Nelson Dockyard- This working Georgian era naval dockyard is set in some of the most picturesque scenery found anywhere. Inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2016 as the “Antigua Naval Dockyard and Related Archaeological Sites”, the Park is a unique combination of history, heritage, and environment with scenic beauty, beaches and sailing. Learn, explore, hike, sail, swim, dine: Experience It. The Dockyard has it all.

Boom Restaurant- This is located at elevated harborside level. This unique bar and restaurant is set in front of a remodeled 18th century Gunpowder store which houses art exhibitions and boasts four spectacular deluxe suites.

 This tour is a good option for first-time visitors to Antigua. This rate is for a group minimum or 4.
