Historic and Scenic Island Tour of Antigua

At Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, travelers step into a beautifully preserved piece of colonial history nestled within English Harbour. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the only continuously operating Georgian naval dockyard in the world, named after Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived there in the 1780s. Visitors can explore a range of restored buildings and stone warehouses now housing museums, art galleries, cafes, and shops. The Dockyard Museum, located in the former Admiral’s House, features artifacts and exhibits that bring to life Antigua’s maritime and colonial past. Guided tours provide fascinating insights into the British Royal Navy’s operations, showcasing relics, ship models, and tales of naval battles. The scenic harbor itself is often dotted with modern yachts, offering a striking contrast to the historic backdrop.
