After pick-up at St. John’s Cruise Port, your tour begins with a scenic drive along Antigua’s picturesque west coast towards the south of the island.
You will soon reach the famous Fig Tree Drive, one of the most beautiful and scenic roads in Antigua.
The route winds through lush tropical rainforest, passing banana plants, mango trees and extensive pineapple plantations.
Along the way, you will learn more about the island’s agriculture and have the opportunity to taste a selection of fresh tropical fruits directly at their source.

The former British naval base, dating back to the 18th century, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important historical attractions in the Caribbean.
