This was part of a tour in Antigua. Fantastic place to visit but very little cover from the hot sun, this area is very hot. Nice to wander around but beware, the price of souvenirs is very expensive.Full review by AndrewGrimsby

This was part of a tour in Antigua. This was an old dockyard that the British used at one time. It served many purposes and has an interesting history. I recommend it if you are nearby. Also tried a …Full review by Donald B

Built in the early 18th century and abandoned by the British in the 19th century. However, it is still in use today and maintained to the highest standards. Our guide gave great insight into the hist…Full review by chrissieb94
How much taxi fare from cruise terminal to Nelsons dockyard via Sshitrley Heights and English Bay? Can I take a folding mobility scooter in taxi? Scooter fits easily in English family car boot.
A:
I understand the taxi fare is about $27 each way. There is a bus a few blocks from the cruise ship dock that goes there for $1.70 each way. Ask at the nearby information booth and they …
I understand the taxi fare is about $27 each way. There is a bus a few blocks from the cruise ship dock that goes there for $1.70 each way. Ask at the nearby information booth and they will assist you either way. I don't know about the scooter. It would depend on the taxi available.
Our cruise to Antigua happens to fall on Christmas Day. Does anyone know if Nelson’s Dockyard will be open on Christmas? Or does the island completely shut down?
A:
The last time I was on the island most of the facilities were open for business at Nelson's dockyard over Christmas and New Year.
From the cruise terminal would it be best to take a taxi first to Shirley's Heights get the views and then go down to Nelson's dockyard and released that taxi and spend a few hours leisurely? Then get a taxi back to the cruise ship? How would one get to English Harbour from Nelson's dockyard? Are there taxis coming and going from Shirley's Heights? Not much time is needed up there as I recall from years ago correct?
A:
From the cruise terminal would it be best to take a taxi first to Shirley's Heights via the Valley Route. Shirley Heights offers incredible views of the Dockyard below, the coastline and …
From the cruise terminal would it be best to take a taxi first to Shirley's Heights via the Valley Route. Shirley Heights offers incredible views of the Dockyard below, the coastline and on a clear day the neighboring islands of Guadeloupe and Montserrat. Proceed to Nelson's dockyard. Release that taxi and spend a few hours leisurely wondering around the Dockyard. Stroll over to the Antigua Yacht Club Marina located in English Harbour. Have a coffee or light lunch at Skulduggery Cafe or Sea Breeze. For a full meal eat at Cloggy's upstairs. Cloggy's was voted as the best Sailor's Bar in the World. Take a taxi back to St. John's and the Cruise Ship Terminal. Feeling adventurous? Take a local bus.
