Here, you'll find the ruins of the 29 or so cannons that the navy once used to defend the island from enemy forces as well as stunning views of the harbor and iconic landmarks like the Pillars of Hercules and Galleon Beach: a serene beach with golden sands and a local favorite for turtle sightings.
Along your scenic hike, you'll also catch stunning views of lesser-known beaches like Windward Beach and enjoy the water views along shorelines of Pigeon Point Beach. Continue your hiking adventure by following your guide as you take a stroll through the world's oldest continuously working Georgian dockyard. This 18th-century dockyard is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also home to the famous Dockyard Museum, which once was the home of a former naval officer. Conclude your hiking adventure with a stroll along the mariner that sits in front of the historic Copper and Lumber Store before you hop back on your air-conditioned vehicle to return to your pier.
Whether you're looking to take in stunning seaside views or immerse yourself in Antigua's culture by exploring a historic fort and dockyard, this exciting hiking tour offers it all.
