Antigua Excursions & Antigua Shore Excursions
St. John's is the capital and port city of Antigua Island, the largest of the two islands that make up the small country of Antigua and Barbuda. As part of the West Indies, St. John's Antigua is surprisingly modern and offers guests a mix of past and present day sights to see. Antigua was colonized in 1632 and in 1784, Admiral Horatio Nelson establish
ed the port as one of Great Britain's most the important Caribbean naval bases. Today Antigua is often one of the stops for cruise ships with St. Lucia, Dominica and the Virgin Islands all nearby. Cruise ships dock at one of two pier facilities in St. John's - Heritage Quay or Redcliffe Quay. With an average temperature of 80 degrees Fahrenheit, visitors to the island are in for a real treat when they get out to see the city and the island on one of our St. John's Antigua Excursions. Some of the many highlights and prime shore excursions the island offers include botanical gardens, St. John's Lighthouse, several forts and museums; all of these historical sites can be admired while on our St. John's Antigua Island Sightseeing Excursion. John's Cathedral is also one of the main sights to see on sightseeing cruise excursions in St. John's Antigua - first built in 1681, it has gone through hurricanes, earthquakes and more to be destroyed and rebuilt 3 times. The powdery white sandy beaches and warm water make water sports such as snorkeling and boating both very popular things to do in Antigua, our St. John's Antigua Stingray Snorkel and Sightseeing Excursion is a great opportunity to enjoy the best of the island or if you are looking for a more adventurous option you should see our St. John's Antigua Thriller Speedboat and Beach Excursion.
