About this trip

Embark on an unforgettable 7-hour journey through the captivating history and natural beauty of Antigua. Your adventure begins at 8:30 am with a convenient pickup from your resort, hotel, or preferred location. Get ready to explore paradise in a day as we combine the best of both worlds: an offshore island escapade and a mainland excursion.

Trip overview

Your day begins with a comfortable pickup at your chosen location, setting the stage for an incredible experience ahead. We'll kick off the adventure by heading to Seatons Village, where we'll complete a quick check-in and orientation.

Next, brace yourself for a 2-minute boat ride to the enchanting Laviscount Island. As you approach the island's dock, you'll be greeted by the breathtaking sight of vibrant red mangroves and shimmering shoals of fish darting beneath the clear waters. But that's just the beginning.

Prepare to be mesmerized by encounters with the island's indigenous Aldabra Tortoises, a truly remarkable sight. As you explore further, our island specialist will introduce you to the charismatic Macaw Parrots, adding a touch of tropical charm to your day.


The adventure continues as we unveil the rare and fascinating Lesser Antillean Iguana, an exclusive native species to this Caribbean paradise. Although bidding farewell to Laviscount Island might be tough, our journey through time beckons.

Step back in time to the era when sugar was king, and rum flowed freely. Delve into Antigua's colonial history as you visit old British fortifications and explore the 17th-century sugar plantation known as Betty's Hope.


Be awestruck by the natural wonder of Devil's Bridge, a remarkable rock formation sculpted by the passage of time. Discover the intriguing story behind its name and the legends that surround it.

As we journey through picturesque villages and towns, our knowledgeable and experienced guide will immerse you in the true island life experience. Relax and savor a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, where you can savor the flavors of the Caribbean.

Uncover the mystery of Antigua's first visitors – was it Christopher Columbus? Explore an 18th-century British Naval Dockyard, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and capture unforgettable moments.

Ascend to the heights of Shirley's Heights, where you'll witness some of the most breathtaking views of Antigua. Learn about the island's rich flora and fauna as you traverse through the lush rainforest.

Fantastic service from start to finish, the driver was very professional, happy and knowledgeable, would use this company again.

Worth every penny. It was such a memorable adventure. The sting rays were wild, not in an enclosure, and were ginormous. The tortoises on Laviscount Island were comical and fun. The tour guides for sting ray city and Laviscount island were great. And, Roger's Taxi Tours made the excursion transportation seamless, smooth and easy. Would definitely recommend.

We had an excellent day with Roger, who took us all round the Island of Antigua. He is very knowledgeable, professional and polite. He arrived at our hotel in an immaculate mini van for just the two of us and had a case of colds drinks both soft and beer in the back. We saw all of the sights and learned so much, it is a completely different experience to an organised tour. As we had already been to Shirley’s Heights Roger said no problems and added in a different stop. He stopped regularly to show us the abundant fruits and herbs growing across the island, Lunch at Mamma’s Delight local restaurant was amazing. Thank you again, we would thoroughly recommend Roger’s Tours.

Roger took fantastic care of us on multiple occasions during our visit to the island. I feel like we actually learned about the beauty and history of Antigua. Thank you

We had a wonderful experience both at our arrival at the airport and our half day tour. We arrived on time but, had luggage issues. Roger patiently waited for us, almost an hour, and then greeted us with his calm and passionate demeanor. We then toured the island with him and his knowledge of the island and surrounding areas was spot on. On a 1 to 10 rating he is a 10 plus. We definitely recommend him and his team.

Roger Taxi tours is so professional and always on time. My husband and I had the best time in Antigua. We went to the Sting Ray City adventure and also opted for day tour. We saw so much of Antigua and had lunch at a wonderful local restaurant! We enjoyed our time so much we asked to be taken to a local spot the next day. Our entire trip was enjoyable and was made possible by Roger Taxi Tour. We would highly highly recommend

I have used Roger with Roger Taxi Tours both times that I have visited Antigua. He is very kind, professional, super clean vehicles, and i will not use anyone else on the Island. I highly recommend his company for your transfer and excursion needs when you travel to Antigua, or send clients to Antigua!
