Adventure Antigua – The Xtreme Circumnavigation

1.Adventure Antigua – The Xtreme Circumnavigation

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 959 reviews · from $221Our pick

Ride around Antigua with Adventure Antigua, stopping at Stingray City, Green Island, Nelson’s Dockyard, the Pillars of Hercules, and Rendezvous Bay. Expect a fast, bumpy powerboat ride, beach lunch, rum punch, snorkeling gear, and lively guiding from crew members such as Brendan, Lesley, Mark, Kimba, and Tyrese.

“This was a very fun excursion. The only negative is that the boat moderators need microphones. They had much to say about places on the island but we couldn’t hear anything since it was a speed boat. Microphone and speaker would make it perfect. Mark, Leslie, and Brendan were amazing!”

Turtle Beach Power Snorkeling Adventure

2.Turtle Beach Power Snorkeling Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 521 reviews · from $132

From Freeman’s Bay, you’ll learn to use a small sea scooter before snorkeling toward coral, fish, turtles, a shipwreck, and the Pillars of Hercules. Guides such as Rex and Renek stay nearby, take underwater photos, and help you feel at ease. Afternoon trips offer the best turtle odds. You must already swim or snorkel.

“This was brilliant would definitely recommend, the sea scooters were such a fun way to explore the sea and see the turtles! The guides were friendly and fun and the transfer was really easy, thanks so much!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 472 reviews · from $142

Travel Antigua in a small group of up to eight, with hotel or cruise-port pickup, a local guide, lunch, and stops at Devil’s Bridge, Blockhouse, Shirley Heights, Nelson’s Dockyard, Fig Tree Drive, and Darkwood Beach. Guides such as Leo, George, Deborah, and Keisha are known for adding history, humor, and local perspective.

“The other reviews were spot on. Our guide, Leo, was friendly, knowledgeable and conducted a phenomenal tour. Amazing views, good conversation, and learned a bit, too. And, as a Cleveland Browns fan I won’t hold it against him that he roots for the Bengals! (LOL!). Great way to see the island and get off the resort for a day.”

Snorkel – Lobster Lunch Cruise to Bird Island and Paradise Reef

4.Snorkel – Lobster Lunch Cruise to Bird Island and Paradise Reef

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 438 reviews · from $185

Spend about six hours aboard a 55-foot motor catamaran from Jolly Harbour, with two snorkel stops, beach time at Bird Island, and a grilled lobster lunch when in season. Captain Demari and crew members such as Vonte and Quante have been praised for patient snorkel help, good humor, and attentive service. Hotel pickup is included in many areas.

“Lots of fun, bordering on too much fun. Good trip overall, fine snorkeling, saw several huge sea turtles, the lobster lunch was excellent. I gave it 4 stars because one of the three crew members (not the captain, thank goodness) began drinking, flirting, and dancing with several of the young women on the trip as the day went on. The women were into it and partying hard so it wasn’t like he was being overly aggressive or making unwelcome advances; it just felt unprofessional and a little unsafe to have a crew member taking shots and grinding with the guests. The captain and junior-most crew member were professional and acted…”

He went above and beyond to make sure we were very comfortable at all times, ensuring the car was always in the best spot for easy access to everything, very helpful with older parents who have difficulty walking. He made sure we saw all the beautiful sights and brought us directly back to the ship! Highly recommend him!”

Spend four and a half hours with local guide Johnny of Turtle Tales Antigua Tours. Visit Nelson’s Dockyard and Shirley Heights, then snorkel from Galleon Beach in a calm harbor where turtles, octopuses, fish, stingrays, and shipwrecks may appear. This is a private shore-snorkeling tour, not a boat trip.

“Johnny was professional and showed so much attention to detail for customer service. The entire experience was fantastic Nelson’s dockyard and Shirley heights again his knowledge was second to non. Snorkelling for over 30 years I’ve been trying to see a turtle under the water and Johnny located 2 of them along with lion fish, lobsters and numerous other types of marine life. This is the best tour I have ever had the privilege to be on it’s that good and I fully recommend people book with him. A nice person and he deserves the business and well worth the money”

Cycle through St. John’s with local guides Giles or Mark, paddle into a mangrove reserve, stop for a beach swim, and walk to Fort James. The 2-hour-45-minute outing is relaxed rather than strenuous, with cruisers in four frame sizes, bottled water, and a small group capped at 11 people.

“An easy 5 min walk from the cruise port to the meeting point where we found Giles setting up bicycles and equipment. He greeted my family of 4 by our names, prepped us for the day activities and we set out. Easy biking through and around town, Giles stopped at sites and interests all the while explaining each. Next activity was kayaking to a mangrove and observing local flora and fauna, birds and sea life. Back on the bikes for more touring Giles guided us to a beach for a quick dip and a hike around the area, the site of a 1600's fort, all the while explaining various ecological…”
