During our free time while visiting Antigua, we decided to head down for a tour at the marina. Interesting area with a few shops and eateries. History at the museum was very informative (for a small … Full review by GAFamilyTraveler

Well-preserved historical sight. Highly recommended to spend a few hours learning the history of the dockyard and island. Full review by KiloAlphaPapa

This is well worth the trip because you learn about some of the history of the island. May as well learn about where you've visited so things make more sense. It's in English Harbour, so if you're o… Full review by CarmenSanDiegoGo
How much taxi fare from cruise terminal to Nelsons dockyard via Sshitrley Heights and English Bay? Can I take a folding mobility scooter in taxi? Scooter fits easily in English family car boot.
A:
I never used a taxi but private drivers who drove Land Cruiser or 4 Runner. They are reasonable but not as low as a taxi. I like to get private driver for like 6 hours to drive around island …
I never used a taxi but private drivers who drove Land Cruiser or 4 Runner. They are reasonable but not as low as a taxi. I like to get private driver for like 6 hours to drive around island and show me things without the hassle you can encounter with a taxi.
Our cruise to Antigua happens to fall on Christmas Day. Does anyone know if Nelson’s Dockyard will be open on Christmas? Or does the island completely shut down?
A:
The last time I was on the island most of the facilities were open for business at Nelson's dockyard over Christmas and New Year.
From the cruise terminal would it be best to take a taxi first to Shirley's Heights get the views and then go down to Nelson's dockyard and released that taxi and spend a few hours leisurely? Then get a taxi back to the cruise ship? How would one get to English Harbour from Nelson's dockyard? Are there taxis coming and going from Shirley's Heights? Not much time is needed up there as I recall from years ago correct?

From the cruise terminal would it be best to take a taxi first to Shirley's Heights via the Valley Route. Shirley Heights offers incredible views of the Dockyard below, the coastline and on a clear day the neighboring islands of Guadeloupe and Montserrat. Proceed to Nelson's dockyard. Release that taxi and spend a few hours leisurely wondering around the Dockyard. Stroll over to the Antigua Yacht Club Marina located in English Harbour. Have a coffee or light lunch at Skulduggery Cafe or Sea Breeze. For a full meal eat at Cloggy's upstairs. Cloggy's was voted as the best Sailor's Bar in the World. Take a taxi back to St. John's and the Cruise Ship Terminal. Feeling adventurous? Take a local bus.
I read there was an art gallery but no one comments on it. Did you go? Sue

The day we went everything was closed, even the museum... But we visited a local shop just couple minutes from nelsons dockyard which had beautiful painting and essential oils .
