  • Betty's Hope

    Betty’s Hope was a sugarcane plantation in Antigua. It was established in 1650, shortly after the island had become an English colony, and flourished as a successful agricultural industrial enterprise during the centuries of slavery. It was the first large-scale sugar plantation to operate in Antigua and belonged to the Codrington family from 1674 until 1944. Christopher Codrington, later Captain General of the Leeward Islands, acquired the property in 1674 and named it Betty’s Hope, after his daughter. Betty's Hope is no longer operational as a plantation. However, the structures which consist of the twin windmills, the Cistern Complex have been restored in serviceable condition, the Great House (Buff or Estate House) in ruins, the Boiling House where sixteen copper hoppers which were used to boil cane juice to produce crystalline sugar, and the Still House, a distillery was used for manufacturing rum. A visitor center has been created by converting a former cotton house storeroom into a museum. This includes various aspects of the plantation's history and shows early estate plans, pictures and maps, artifacts and a model of the central site to giving an overview of the of "Betty's Hope". A interesting peak into Antigua’s history.

    15 minutes

  • Devil's Bridge

    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. A bridge was created when a soft part of the limestone eroded away by action of Atlantic breakers over countless centuries. During calm days, you can enjoy a walk on the rocks that form the bridge and on days when the water is shooting up, enjoy the sea sprays. Devil’s Bridge is quite an experience.

    15 minutes

  • Long Bay

    Long Bay on the east coast offers fine white sand and crystal blue waters, making it a great place for snorkeling or just relaxing in the sun. You'll find coral reefs in water so shallow that you can actually walk out to them. Along the beach are Long Bay Hotel and Pineapple Beach Resort.

    30 minutes

  • Valley Church Beach

    VValley church beach is a popular destination for many. It has lovely water and good facilities. The beach has quite grainy sand which is very soft. One of Antigua’s 365 pristine white sand beaches, located in the Jolly Harbour area. Swim, snorkel, relax or just bury your feet in the powder like sand and enjoy the views.

    30 minutes

  • Dow's Hill Interpretation Centre

    Dow’s Hill has an interpretation centre offers a knowledgeable 15 minute video presentation on the history, culture and heritage of Antigua and Barbuda. It takes you back to a time that have made Antigua what it is today. It offers a fascinating insight into the Antiguan way of life and if you are looking for an introduction to Antigua, we strongly recommend visiting Dow’s Hill for a relaxed and informative start to your visit on the island. Café and gift shop on site.

    30 minutes

  • Shirley Heights

    Drive up to Shirley Heights and stroll around the old military fortifications. The buildings have been adapted to function as a restaurant and bar. A spectacular view over English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour greets you, showing a scene that is often used as the iconic image of Antigua.

    30 minutes

  • The Blockhouse

    High above English Harbour in Nelson’s Dockyard National Park sits the Blockhouse, a brick ruin. On a perch overlooking the southeastern coast of Antigua, the circa-1787 site encompasses an officer’s quarters and those of servants, as well as stables.

A great tour company to work with

Published on Sep, 2021

Even though I have had to cancel this small group tour that I put together with other passengers on our planned cruise, I still want to put a review out there for Sean and Kamesha at VIP tours. They have been excellent to communicate with and so responsive. I am definitely going to be contacting them again in the future when we are able to visit Antigua. So many people on the cruise were cautious about booking private tours, but they made it so easy and refunded my deposit immediately when I had to cancel. Hope to see you in the future VIP!

Kenny was great

Published on Feb, 2020

This was a great way to see the island and very good way to see the historic sites Would highly recommend and thank you Kenny for making our trip fantastic!

Sean Is The Best!!

Published on May, 2019

We took the full day tour with Sean during our cruise stop in Antigua. We had some difficulty figuring out exactly where we were to wait for Sean as there was no sign or obvious place to wait. Tour guides from other companies helped us figure this out and once we connected with Sean we had a wonderful day. We did not book a private tour but it turned out that we had one when the other couple did not show up. Sean was very personable and also so very knowledgeable about and proud of his homeland. He gave us a great history lesson about the country and its independence from Britain. They still drive on the "wrong" side of the road there so that took some getting used to. We hit almost all of the sites we were interested in but due to oppressive traffic jams and a brief afternoon rain, we missed the last two stops, the tropical farm and black pineapple tasting. We were very impressed by Shirley's lookout. The jerk chicken lunch that was included in the price of our tour was really good and we were able to do a little shopping at the tables people had set up out on the patio.We also found Betty's Hope Plantation very interesting. It brought home the reality of the European explorers who "found" these islands and then enslaved both the natives living there and those they brought from Africa. So shameful! I can't imagine a full day tour of the island that would be better than this one. It cost less than the tour offered by the cruise line and was much more inclusive. Take this tour. You won't be sorry.

A great way to see the island and learn its incredible history!

Published on Feb, 2019

We just returned from a fantastic day with Alvin, our guide from VIP. He’s an encyclopedia of knowledge about the island and cultures of the Caribbean, and he kept us totally engaged throughout the tour. It was well paced and covered the whole island, including a stop for a terrific traditional Antiguan meal. Highly recommended!

Favorite tour of 5 done during this same week!!

Published on Sep, 2018

First and foremost, meeting Alvin, is something my husband and I won't soon forget. The incredible knowledge of his island's history, his desire to ensure you have a great experience, and the sheer depth and positivity of his spirit are what made this tour absolutely perfectly. We are better people for having had this opportunity to meet him and to the owners of this company, you are truly blessed to have this man. No other tour could live up to this experience, and days later, I am still telling friends and coworkers about this experience. Send our love to Alvin please! We will be back some day soon! As for the tour itself, it was just phenomenal. We loved the variety of history, sight-seeing, driving through the many villages on the island, taking in the breathtaking views, and ending the day at a picture perfect beach. Alvin also has a wonderful voice and we were lucky enough to end our tour with him singing for us. We highly recommend this experience and don't forget to show your Antiguan smile!
