Your tour guides will put you on vacation mode as you start your 360-degree view of the island. Your first stop would be the former US Air Force Base.

Cockburn Town: Fasten your seat belts as you journey through Front Street to see old colonial buildings of the 1800s in their majestic beauty.

Downtown: Stop downtown where you can purchase drinks, snacks and unique handmade crafts and souvenirs. Get a breath-taking view of the turquoise beach with powdery white sands. Hear about the mysterious 7200 ft drop off point. Take lots of photos. Become mesmerized by the untouched beauty of the island.

Wildlife: Hop into your vehicles and head north as you make your way to the 'Circle of Life' to interact with unique sea creatures such as conch, urchins, starfish, jellyfish, and sea cucumbers. Spot the roaming horses and donkeys as they bask in the sun.

Notes

Accessibility: This tour is ambulatory accessible. Guests must take a few steps (up/down), walk short distances, and transfer to a seat.

Requirements & Restrictions: Minimum age - 7 years. Maximum weight - 275 lbs. For safety reasons, guests with leg injuries can only be passengers. Drivers must present a valid driver’s license. Drivers undergo a practice run before going on the public road.

What to Bring: Comfortable shoes or sandals, sunscreen, bottled water and cash to purchase souvenirs and snacks. Small vendors do not have the capability to process debit/credit cards.

Good to Know: Hummers hold 2 people. Tickets are sold per person. The weather is sunny, but the hummers have tops that can be pulled over. All cars are equipped with the latest Bluetooth technology so you can hear the tour guides while driving. The salt ponds are seasonal, with salt forming only after seawater evaporates naturally over a 70 to 90-day period, so pond conditions and salt visibility vary throughout the year.
