Barbuda Day Tour

On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday your Barbuda Day Tour adventure departs at 6:30am from St. John's Harbour. On Wednesday and Friday your tour departs at 7:30am from Jolly Harbour. There are no tours on Sunday.

Barbuda Express has partnered with Hillside Tours for the on-island part of the tour for the last 3 years. It is important to understand that the road system all over Barduda is basic and in many cases roads are unpaved.

On arrival in Barbuda, there is a 25 minute taxi ride to catch the small boat ride to your first stop - The Frigate Bird Sanctuary. Along the way, you will spot the historic Martello Tower.

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. From the bird sanctuary your next adventure is a quick stop at the Pink Sand beach. Please note that pink sand is seasonal and dependent on sea conditions. This part of the tour is approximately 1.5 hours.

After your return across the lagoon to Codrington Village, you will take a short 20 minute taxi ride to the open Caves at Two Foot Bay National Park.

Catered lunch will be served at Hillside View Bar & Grill at Two Foot Bay. We highly recommend indulging in freshly caught Barbudan seafood. It is very IMPORTANT that you provide us with your lunch preference when making your tour booking. After lunch, it is snorkeling and beach time at Coral Group Bay. This drive is approximately 30 minutes.

We kindly ask you to let us know about your meal preferences:

• • Fresh Barbudan lobster with a garlic/lemon sauce (U$10.00 extra) - NOT AVAILABLE from May 1st to June 30th
