5.00We had a fantastic trip around the island. The snorkeling was fantastic. The food and rum punch were out of this world! Love seeing all of the beaches and a little bit of history would definitely recommend.
Best Tour EVER!!!

5.00This was an unforgettable tour, my husband and I loved it! It’s the ultimate must do for your trip to Antigua and you must request tour guides Leslie, Luka & Andio aka the flinstones! They provided a wonderful lunch, complete history briefing and wonderful company. They’re so funny and they make the experience all around a good time, you are not rushed at all and they complete the tour on time, making you very comfortable. - The Cadles 🩵🐠🏝️

5.00Amazing experience. Easy communication with Viator in pre-planning every detail. Pick-up was on time and it was a day full of amazing experiences. The power boat was the perfect size for a small group and the stops/stingrays/lunch on a beautiful beach/snorkeling/rum punch on another beautiful beach - all of the information and history provided by our knowledgeable guides as we toured around the entire island was truly appreciated. Highly recommend!
Oh, what a day of X-TREME

5.00It was super to be picked up right off Dickenson Beach. All 3 crew members: Leslie, Adino, and Mac were caring and knowledgeable. We appreciated that they cared for everyone's safety throughout the day. Stingray City was such a treat. Swimming with such majestic creatures... absolutely divine. Next, the crew drove to Hell's Gate which would not be possible without a knowledge crew. Lunch was delicious. Once back on the boat...it got X-TREME!!!! Leslie told us several stories about English Harbour - past and present. And then we were off to snorkel. Our final stop was on a deserted powdery sand beach. What more could you ask for? Well, how about some Rum Punch. Yummy!! To finish the day, we were returned to our starting point on Dickenson Beach. Thank you to all the crew for a fabulous day!!! This is a must-do in Antigua.
A must during your visit - brilliant.

5.00Outstanding day. Guys were extremely knowledgeable about the whole island - learning about the history was amazing. Very caring about safety throughout the trip and a fantastic way of visiting parts of the island which could be otherwise be difficult to get to. Brilliant stops during the day. Snorkelling was fabulous as was stingray city. The adrenaline ride was incredible. If sitting in the back - you’ll need something warm and dry to change into. Top up sunscreen too! Lunch food was great and if you let them know dietary restrictions in advance they will cater for it. “Speed up” what a ride!
Beautiful day on the water. Great trip and great guides.

5.00Get there in time. Roads in Antigua are atrocious so leave earlier than your GPS says. Parking at the starting location in Dickinson bay is bad, narrow, no room. The tour itself was wonderful once on the boat. We stopped first at Hells gate rocks. We don’t get out here, that’s the eco tour. Then we went and snorkeled with stingrays. It was great. Water was clean and clear. Next we stopped at an island beach for lunch. Lunch was good, swim a little if you want. Then we went around the island and saw the magnificent cliffs on the east side of the island. Deep blue water here and more rough. Went past Eric Claptons home on a high on a rock bluff. Stopped at English Harbor next. Historical and beautiful. We snorkeled here, but it not great in my experience. Too deep to really see much. Water was cool. Our last stop was on another deserted beach for rum and punch. They really could skip this stop, we didn’t even want to get off the boat we were so wiped out. Spend more time at the beginning at Hells gate would be my choice. Anyway. Good tour worth the money.
An EXTREMELY fun adventure!

5.00This was a great day on the water and a wonderful way to see the whole island! Our captain, Brendan, was knowledgeable and safe and his mates, Leslie and Kemba, were fun, informative, and friendly. Even though it started raining as we arrived, we enjoyed Stingray City and it was very cool to be in the water with the rays. The weather cleared up and we had a delicious lunch - it was topped off with some homemade banana bread, which was lovely! We enjoyed learning about the history of the island as we floated through Nelson's Dockyard, and the snorkeling at the Pillars of Hercules was fun! I wish we had a little more time for snorkeling at that site since we didn't really have many other opportunities for snorkeling (only there and at stingray city). Overall, it was an awesome day and we loved the crew. Some of the guests on the boat didn't seem to realize that they would be in and out of the water several times, so their complaints were a bit tiring to hear, but our group had a great time. Your stuff will stay dry in the front of the boat, but you should expect to get wet if you are on this adventure, especially if you are seated in the back or sides of the boat. If you don't want to get wet, book something else! The crew was EXTREMELY fun and kind and we had an EXTREMELY nice day on the water! It was an awesome part of our first trip to Antigua!
We would do it again!

4.00Brenden’s, Leslie and Mach were very informative, friendly and intelligent. They take passengers safety as number 1!! The meal was good- especially the B B Q chicken. There needs to be a focus on the snorkeling experience- too improve it. The boat was a tad crowded. Otherwise and amazing experience. A special thanks to the crew.!
Great way to learn about Antigua

5.00Debbie was our tour guide for the scenic day tour she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned so much about the island. We would truly recommend her.
Sometimes things go wrong, you make the most of it but it would have been nice to be offered at least some refund

3.00We heard brilliant things about this tour but had a somewhat disappointing experience. It wasn’t the fault of any of the staff, there was a problem with one of the engines on the boat and so whilst we got out on the water, we didn’t get any further than stingray city. The boat staff did their best to make sure we still had a good day out but it ended up being very expensive for what we actually got. To make matters worse, ‘Scooby’ at stingray city rushed us through having our photos with the rays (presumably because we were late arriving due to the problems with the boat) . He wasn’t interested in taking a picture with our cameras (which is fair enough as that’s how he makes his money) however, they have somehow managed to lose the images they took on the day we visited so we didn’t get our full tour OR the photos of us swimming with the Rays.
