Barbuda Express Ferry
Perfect Day Trip To Barbuda

Running 5 days a week between St. John’s, Antigua, and Barbuda, the Barbuda Express takes 90 minutes to travel from Antigua’s port and capital city to an island with some of the Caribbean’s most pristine beaches.

Once in Barbuda, you can relax on a beach or have lunch at one of Barbuda’s resorts or take an organized day trip that includes a tour to the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, a short island tour that includes caves used by the Arawak Indians, ruins of the Codrington family home and a beach time lobster lunch under the trees.

The rest of the afternoon is spent relaxing, swimming or snorkeling until a taxi takes you back to the ferry and the return trip to Antigua. (See details)
