There's nothing quite like it

Important - Barbuda Express no longer offers tours.

Hillside Tours

Barbuda Express has worked closely with Hillside Tours for the last 3 years and recommends them for your Barbuda tour. Highlights in Barbuda include the frigate bird colony, miles of pristine white beaches and warm water snorkeling in the crystal clear Caribbean sea.

The Frigate Bird Sanctuary is the largest and most magnificent in the western hemisphere. This sanctuary is only accessible by small boats with a knowledgeable tour guide. Enjoy the drumming sound of the Frigate Birds and watch out for any turtles.

After the bird sanctuary, you may want to take a quick stop at one of the many Pink Sand beaches. Please note that pink sand is seasonal and dependent on sea conditions. If you want to visit the Caves at Two Foot Bay National Park, it is a short 20 minute ride with your tour guide. Lunch is available at Hillside View Bar & Grill at Two Foot Bay. When in season, the freshly caught Barbudan seafood is delicious.
