Climb the crumbling colonial-era Martello Tower and the ruins of Highland House for sweeping views over Barbuda's flat scrubland and coastline.
What to expect
A 4x4 takes you across Barbuda's interior scrub track to the tower ruins, built to watch for invading ships centuries ago. You climb worn stone steps for a 360-degree view of the island's flat, wild terrain and distant coastline. The guide explains the island's plantation-era history and the Codrington family's role in shaping it. You linger for sunset before the drive back.
Good to know
Timed for late afternoon; sturdy shoes needed for uneven terrain; coordinate pickup time carefully with ship's departure.
