We will journey west on the island’s main road, passing quaint villages such as Boyd’s Village and Challengers Village onto Bloody Point and Bloody River named in remembrance of the Carib Indians, the island’s first inhabitants.

Enjoy breathtaking views and capture the Island’s lush vegetation and verdant hills as we journey to the town of Sandy Point, the island’s second largest town. From the island main road, you will see the majestic Brimstone Hill Fortress. Turning right and driving upwards one can hear the sounds of birds and monkeys that live in the dense vegetation bordering the historical site.
Brimstone Hill Fortress was built over a period of 104 years, starting in the late 16th century and was inducted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 40 acre site occupies different levels and offers spectacular sites of neighbouring Caribbean islands.
Having stepped back in time at Brimstone Hill, take the excursion back to tropical reality as we meander through the beautiful landscape of the island.
Your tour will then proceed back to the capital city and then by an 18 hole golf course and stately homes on the slopes of the majestic hills in the background. Your tour will conclude with a stop at the top of Timothy Hill for a breathtaking view of the Frigate Bay affluent area. You will be captivated by the scenery of long stretches of golden sandy beaches, foaming crests of the Atlantic waves to the North and the tranquil Caribbean Sea to the south. Then the tour will journey to South Friar’s Beach or Cockleshell Beach for the duration of 1-3 hours, depending on your request. There’s nothing like relaxing on the golden sandy beaches, listening to the waves gently lapping against the shoreline. Sip on a refreshing beverage, close your eyes and luxuriate in the peaceful tranquility of our tropical paradise.
