Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute orientation drive through the city of Hamilton, then along the island's panoramic north-eastern coastline via South Shore Road.

After a photo stop at John Smith's Beach, proceed to the historic town of St. George's, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

St. George's, Town Square, First House of Assembly, Stocks, St. Peter's Church

Upon arrival, step back in time to the island's early days. Stroll about the cobblestone streets and stop in the heart of the Town Square for a visit to the island's First House of Assembly, or have pictures taken in the Stocks. Across the main street is the oldest active Anglican Church in the Western Hemisphere, St. Peter's Church, which remains in its original state to this day.

Fort St. Catherine, Swords, Pistols, Island Views, St. David's Island and Lighthouse, Atlantic Ocean

Next, take a guided walking tour inside Fort St. Catherine. Built in 1840, the fort became an iconic guardian of the island's east end during World War II.

Discover the charm of this unique and enchanting community, formerly an US Air Force base. An exterior photo stop is made at St. David's Lighthouse, which was significant to marine traffic in the 18th century and offers exquisite views over the Atlantic Ocean.
