After being met on the pier by a friendly, experienced Tour Guide, you will then board your air-conditioned transportation and be taken for a scenic drive to Shell Beach, some 15 minutes away.
Here your awaiting boat will take you on an enjoyable boat ride through North Sound islands and mangroves enroute to Great Bird Island, one of Antigua’s best locations for snorkeling. Great Bird Island is a 20-acre islet lying almost 2 miles (3 kilometers) northeast of Antigua. Visitors to Great Bird Island regard it as a ‘desert island’ dream. Named by sailors who were amazed at the number of birds that they found living and nesting there, Great Bird Island is a miniature paradise. White-sand beaches at either end of the sandbar are the main attraction for visitors. You will be given a lesson in snorkeling before you are invited to put on your mask, fins and buoyancy belt and go snorkeling accompanied by an expert guide in the crystal-clear waters! Or you can simply take a swim or relax and soak up the sun in the idyllic location on the beach. You will hike up the hilltop trail to wonderful views of outlying islands and Antigua. It’s ideal for looking for the migrating whales during December to May, sea turtles, and many varieties of birds who nest here throughout the year. Bring some binoculars! While it is better known for its two superb beaches, (where you can relax and top up your tan), and closely surrounding coral reefs, it is also the only place you may be able to see an Antiguan Racer snake in the wild. They are only 8 inches (20 cms) long at best, non-venomous and completely harmless. It's also the home for a variety of endangered creatures including exotic red-billed tropic birds, brown pelicans, rare lizards, West Indian whistling ducks and the magnificent frigate bird or man o’ war bird. An eco-island paradise! A delicious Caribbean lunch of barbecued chicken, pasta, green salad with local banana bread for dessert, soft drink, water and rum punch will be served on the beach. Suitably relaxed and educated, your boat will return you to Shell Beach before returning by road to your ship.
Please note: Don’t forget your sun protection, towel, swimsuit and, of course, a camera and binoculars!

This tour has been created especially for Windstar’s President and guests. You will be greeted at the pier by your professional Tour Guide for the start of this interesting tour and listen to your Guide through the Whisper Radio System for ease and clarity, so you miss nothing even for those with hearing aids as there are special adaptors! Your first stop will be at Betty’s Hope. Built in 1674 by Sir Christopher Codrington, this was the site of one of the first full-scale sugar plantations on Antigua and is located just south of Pares Village. For more than 300 years, this prominent sugar plantation has played a leading role in, and influenced the lives of many generations of Antiguans. This is the only twin sugar mill, standing side by side in the Eastern Caribbean and has several renovated sugar trains used to transport sugar cane across the island which you can view and photograph. Your tour will continue to Devil’s Bridge. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Atlantic’s waves have crashed into the east coast of Antigua creating a natural arch, or bridge. Numerous geysers and blowholes surround the arch as waves continually break against the coastal rocks. In addition to being a natural phenomenon, Devil’s Bridge also holds cultural importance in Antiguan history. A prehistoric, Amerindian site is located within its vicinity and suggests that prehistoric peoples may have used the area for fishing and settlement. Popular belief suggests slaves leapt to their death off of the natural arch during the period of slavery in Antigua. Devil’s Bridge gets its name from these myths as the stories contend the devil claimed those who leapt off the bridge. Your tour will continue where you will hug the south coast line and drive past Darkwood Beach, Turner’s Beach, Fryes Beach, Jolly Harbour, many secluded beaches, 5* hotels and exclusive homes through Fig Tree Drive, Antigua’s lush rainforest area through Antigua’s countryside, rich in daily West Indian life, local villages, and old churches, that exemplify West Indian culture. You'll stop for a quick snack at Claremont Farms before heading back to your ship.
Please note: Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. There is one step in and out of the bus. The order of sites visited may vary.
