Antigua: Shore Excursion with Shirley Heights & Rum Tasting
Discover the highlights of Antigua on a shore excursion from the port. Visit Shirley Heights, the Interpretation Centre, and Devil's Bridge, and sample the Antigua Black Pineapple.
Meet your experienced, qualified driver / tour guide as you set off on your Island Tour guaranteeing you a taste of Paradise. A visit to Betty's Hope is a must. This former sugar plantation throughout its 300 year history has played a prominent role in Antigua and Barbuda’s history and has influenced the lives of many generations. Explore the natural phenomenon of Devils Bridge. This natural bridge or arch created due to the Atlantic’s wave crashing into the east coast for hundreds of thousands of years. Numerous geysers and blowholes surround the arch as waves continually break against the costal rocks. Drive through a few quaint villages and then visit the Interpretation Centre (if open) where you’ll experience the Antiguan culture and Heritage through the eyes of the SUN. Discover the ruins at Shirley Heights, an 18th Century English Guard Post. This site offers a spectacular view of English Harbor. On a clear day, some of the neighboring islands can be seen from this vantage point. From Shirley Heights, drive through the lush tropical areas on the southern side of the island getting a firsthand view of the Antigua Black Pineapple (dubbed the sweetest pineapple in the world). To tantalize your taste buds, sample this delectable mouthwatering pineapple, mango (if in season) or sugar cane as well as a sample of freshly made rum punch or fruit punch (rum punch is made with our very own Cavalier Rum). Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, you will now make your way back to your point of pick up by way of the remaining southern villages along the Caribbean coastline. To add to your experience, your parting gift is a miniature bottle of International award winning miniature Cavalier rum.
