Private Custom Antigua Tour: Design Your Own Itinerary

You pick the stops, the guide handles the route

A private customizable tour of Antigua where you design the itinerary with a local driver-guide in a comfortable van. You choose the duration (3 to 6 hours), the stops (beaches like Dickenson Bay, historical sites like Nelson's Dockyard National Park or Betty's Hope sugar plantation, nature, or snorkeling), and the pace. The guide provides insider knowledge and adapts the day to your interests in real time.

The experience

What do you actually want to see in Antigua, beaches, history, nature or all three? Instead of following a set route, you work with your local guide to build the tour around your answer. You'll ride in an air-conditioned van, and the guide will suggest stops and timing based on what matters to you, then adjust as the day unfolds. The flexibility is the whole point: if you want to linger on a beach or move through three sites in quick succession, that's your call.

The itinerary examples in the listing (Nelson's Dockyard National Park, Dickenson Bay, Betty's Hope Historic Sugar Plantation) are just that, examples. You might combine all three, or swap them for snorkeling, local food spots, scenic overlooks or anything else the guide knows. Snorkeling gear is included if that's the direction you choose. You'll also get bottled water and snacks during the tour.

Duration runs from 3 to 6 hours depending on which option you book, and you pick the group size (2 to 7 people) at checkout. Pickup is included. The guide speaks English and knows the island well enough to answer questions and suggest detours on the fly: the kind of local knowledge that doesn't fit into a standard itinerary.

Is this one for you?Book the 4 or 5-hour option if you want to see multiple sides of Antigua without rushing. Choose 3 hours if you're combining this with other activities the same day, or 6 hours if you want a slower pace and room to explore deeper. The group size you pick determines the van's capacity, so a party of two books differently than a family of six, but the customization works the same way for all.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

Can I really customize the stops, or is there a set route I have to follow?

The stops are entirely up to you. You work with your guide to design the itinerary based on your interests: beaches, history, nature, food, snorkeling or a mix. The guide will suggest options and insider tips, but you decide what to visit and how long to spend at each place within your total tour time.

What's the difference between the 3, 4, 5 and 6 hour options?

The duration you choose determines how much ground you can cover. A 3-hour tour might hit one or two stops. A 6-hour tour gives you time for more sites or a slower pace at each one. Your guide will help you fit the right number of stops into whatever duration you book.

Is snorkeling equipment really included?

Snorkeling gear is included if you want to use it. You'll have it available in the van, so if you decide to snorkel at a beach or reef, you're set without renting separately.

How many people can fit in the van, and does the price change?

The van accommodates up to 7 people with their belongings. You choose your group size when you book (options range from 2 to 7 people), and the price is per van, not per person, so the cost stays the same whether you fill it or not.

What happens if I'm not sure what I want to see before the tour starts?

Tell your guide what you're in the mood for when you meet (relaxation, history, adventure, food), and they'll suggest a route based on that and the time you have. You can also ask questions and change direction during the tour if something catches your interest.
