A wonderful opportunity to meet local islanders and discover some of the everyday Antiguan life. Enjoy a leisurely drive along Antigua’s west coast, allowing you to enjoy three fascinating stops and take in the island’s eye-catching scenery, perfect for those interested in Antiguan art and culture, agriculture, and organic farming. Your first stop will be Claremont Farms, a private agricultural estate dedicated to growing the rare Antiguan Black Pineapple, prized for its taste and sweetness. Here, during a leisurely stroll, you’ll learn a few interesting facts about the Black Pineapple and have the opportunity to sample some of this delicious fruit. Your journey will then continue along Fig Tree Drive, through Antigua’s rainforest and on to the stunning sugar mill with a viewing platform dating back to the 1600s, nestled within the hills at the Mount Tabor Retreat. Here you will hear the history of the old slave area, see the remains of an old rum distillery, see where slaves would give birth to their children and take in the fantastic views over the rainforest and south coast vistas. Lastly, Weatherills Estate. Here, set in a historic, restored 17th-century colonial mansion is Weatherills Estate House, situated between Marble Hill and Blue Waters. The carefully restored estate house, one of Antigua’s most productive sugar mills, has been given new life as an elegant boutique hotel and restaurant. The property and tour here offer a trip back into history; there’s even a functioning windmill on the property which can be climbed up to take in the fabulous view over Antigua. Your return drive will pass by Antiguan countryside, local village life, and your awaiting ship at the pier.
