Jeep safari tours in Antigua: what to expect

Antigua's best-known sights are spread around the edges of the island, and the fastest way to reach them is in one of our open-back safari jeeps. The land tours start at Lower Redcliffe Street in St. John's and follow the coast road and the rainforest before climbing into the hills.

The Island Safari Discovery Excursion is the broadest of the two. It takes in the National Parks Interpretation Centre, Nelson's Dockyard — the Georgian naval dockyard at English Harbour and Antigua's UNESCO World Heritage Site — Shirley's Heights, Pot Works Dam, lunch at the Betty's Hope sugar plantation, Devil's Bridge and a swim at Long Bay.

The Island Safari & Half Moon Bay Excursion trades the historic sites for the quieter south-east coast. You stop at Wallings Dam in the rainforest, look out over Falmouth Harbour, eat lunch at the Road House Cafe in Newfield Village and finish at Half Moon Bay, the crescent of white sand between two headlands that most visitors never reach.

Both tours use the same vehicles: open-backed safari jeeps with covered roofs and a driver-guide who talks through the island's history as you go. They are not recommended for guests with back or neck problems or for pregnant travellers, because some of the roads are rough.

If you want the water as well, the Sting Ray Fantasy and Land & Sea Excursion combine a jeep safari with a boat. If you would rather spend the whole day at sea, our catamaran tours are the better fit.

Land Tours questions

The details guests ask about most before booking.

How many jeep safari tours do you run?

Two dedicated land tours: the Island Safari Discovery Excursion and the Island Safari & Half Moon Bay Excursion. Two combo tours — Sting Ray Fantasy and Land & Sea — also include a jeep safari.

What is the difference between the two jeep safaris?

Discovery focuses on Antigua's historic sites, including Nelson's Dockyard, Shirley's Heights and Betty's Hope. Half Moon Bay focuses on the quieter south-east coast and finishes with more beach time.

Do the jeep tours include lunch?

Yes. Lunch is included on both land tours — at Betty's Hope on the Discovery tour and at the Road House Cafe in Newfield Village on the Half Moon Bay tour.
