Antigua
At the estate you will see two of the island's oldest sugar mills, now in ruins and immensely picturesque. We can't let you forget that you're on a Caribbean island and, therefore, your next stop will be a stunning private beachfront.
Here their is something for everyone, from relaxing on a lounge chair in the shade of an umbrella and enjoying the crystal blue waters to jumping in the sea. As you would expect this private beach is full of soft white sand.
Families can enjoy the beach games or water sports activities while building up their hunger ready for a scrumptious West Indian lunch. Our guides make sure we offer a really amazing friendly atmosphere making you feel like a local with our steel band music.

extrem sympathischer humorvoller Guide
gute Kombination aus Geschichte, Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten
evtl. mehr Sehenswürdigkeiten wünschenswert
einheimisches regionales Mittagessen
Met the Heavenly Tours representative, after going through security and stopping at the Security Booth. They directed us across the street and behind a building. Not easy to find. He should have been hold a sign that could be seen as we walked down the street.
The tour got off to a slow start. The AC van was 20 minutes late, due to the crowded streets near the cruise ship port.
Tour guide Jacque helped by Tashina gave us a history of Antigua as we drove to our 1st stop.
We were graciously invited into Brian & Yvonne McMillen's house, he is Scottish and she is Irish. They are the direct descendants of the original 16th century settlers. Both of them were proud to show you around the house. We talked to Brian and found out that his dad had worked at Kodak & Xerox (Haloid) in Rochester, NY (where we used to live) We were able to walk around and observe all of their multi-generational collections (family photos, mementos from world travels, wood carvings, sea shells, glassware, ceramics, paperweights, scrapbooks and so much more). I'm sure you could go back everyday and see things you did not see before! Jacque served us some hot herbal tea in the garden surrounded by orchids and 2 parrots.
Next we visited for 20 minutes the Cades Bay Agricultural Station to visit a pineapple farm & afterwards we had lunch (BBQ chicken, fresh pineapple, rice, spicy pasta salad and a green salad) with the beach surf as background music. A rum punch was provided and beers were available for purchase.
Then back to the cruise pier.
