5.St. John’s, Drink Till Your Drunk Rum drinking & Sightseeing

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6 reviews · 2h 30m · from $105

Ride in a small off-road jeep or minivan through Antigua with rum, beer, island stories, and stops at Betty’s Hope, Devil’s Bridge, Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium, and Long Bay Beach. The group is limited to six, but the advertised 150 minutes looks tight beside the listed stop times, so confirm the schedule before booking.

“Hating heights this definitely took me out of my comfort zone but I loved every minute, we did the six although more are available I found six was enough.. our driver Jamal was great and very knowledgeable about the island… would do this again ❤️”
