Antigua: Trolley Train City Tour, Beach Time, & Water Taxi｜Antigua and Barbuda

Begin your adventure at the cruise port in St. John’s, where you’ll climb aboard the colorful 268 Trolley Train and set off on a relaxed sightseeing drive through Antigua’s historic capital on your way to Runaway Bay.

As the trolley travels through St. John’s, your guide will point out several of the city’s most important landmarks while sharing interesting stories about Antigua and Barbuda’s history, culture, and people.

Look out for the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, housed in the historic colonial courthouse, and the impressive St. John’s Anglican Cathedral, one of the most recognizable landmarks overlooking the capital.

Continue past the Cenotaph and War Memorial, honoring the Antiguans and Barbudans who served and sacrificed during times of war. Pass the historic Antigua Prison, dating from 1735, and the Antigua Recreation Ground, one of the country’s most celebrated sporting venues.

Along the route, see Government House, the official residence of the Governor-General of Antigua and Barbuda and an important part of the nation’s architectural, governmental, and political heritage.

Then, trade the city for the Caribbean. Leaving St. John’s behind, sit back and enjoy the changing scenery as the 268 Trolley Train makes its way toward beautiful Runaway Bay and Mystic Restaurant & Bar.

Once at Runaway Bay, enjoy approximately 2 to 3 hours of free time to experience Antigua at your own pace. Take a refreshing swim in the Caribbean Sea, relax on the beach, soak up the sunshine, capture some memorable photographs, or enjoy food and refreshments available at Mystic Restaurant & Bar.

When it’s time to return to the cruise port, say goodbye to the trolley and climb aboard the Water Taxi for your return journey to St. John’s. Feel the Caribbean breeze and enjoy a completely different perspective of Antigua as you travel along the coastline by sea. Sit back, enjoy the views, and capture those final vacation photographs as the Water Taxi brings you back toward the cruise port.
