3.00This was a water tour that started a bit late and unorganized. A chunk of time at the beginning was taken to complete payments from some of the passengers. Once started, the captain was great and the crew pointed out facts of the sights along the way. Not sure if there could be a better system in place where everyone can hear clearly, currently the crew had to shout over the sound of the wind and wave riding. Stingray city was great, lunch was ok; however, we did see one of the crew member aggressively reprimanding 2 other couples for no clear reason to go to the back of the line during lunch. Certainly dampened the mood for a lot of people. The snorkeling afterward felt rushed as the water was murky. Only a handful of people (us included) were in the water when the snorkeling to the sunken boat was started causing a lot of the others to miss it. Overall still enjoyed the beauty of the island, could have been a better experience if the crew members were not as harsh.
Great day

5.00What an amazing day - would highly recommend to everyone! The boat ride in itself is such a fun, thrilling experience, without all of the amazing stops you do! Really fun to go so fast around the island, seeing all the stunning beaches & landmarks & being told about these. Sometimes slightly hard to hear what’s being said while the boat is speeding through the Atlantic & Caribbean sea! I loved seeing the other boat speeding alongside you so you can see just how much you’re going up & down on the waves & getting splashed! Although it feels so smooth & as far as I’m aware no one felt sea sick. I think you’re going too fast for that compared to a catamaran that would bob up & down. A lot of the time the boat stops & you are given the information so that’s fab, as well as the chance to see wildlife - we saw so many birds & sea turtles too. We’ve done so many catamaran tours on holidays & were so glad we did this speed boat experience. The stops were stunning - 1) sting ray city wasn’t crowded at all - just the 2 xtreme boats there so that was really great. I was expecting an ‘insta versus reality’ situation. 2) lunch on Green Island - really stunning sea & lovely food. We had a snorkel while we were there too. 3) it’s not a stop where you get off but the tour around the English harbour was really interesting. We hadn’t gone here by foot & didn’t feel we needed to after this. 4) jump off the boat (or go down the ladder) near the pillars of Hercules for a snorkel stop. 5) rendezvous bay - this was stunning (& the rum punch is strong!) it feels you’re on a deserted island with no one else around - no houses or hotels to be seen - we had a lovely walk up & down the shore. Charles & Lesley were fabulous tour guides. Really informative, kept you fed, watered & made sure we had the best day!
The boat is fast! Come...

5.00We had such a blast on this tour around Antigua! The boat docked in Jolly Harbor and was easy to get to. Our guides were happy, fun, and so knowledgeable about the island. They pointed out all the resorts, famous homes, unique and historical landmarks, and took us to the best beaches and snorkeling. Lunch included delish chicken and the best banana bread. So yummy! We were very happy with this choice as one of our excursions!
Great day

5.00Hi I just wanted to leave a review to say what an incredible day we’ve had today! Brendon, Lesley and Kimba were amazing fun hosts and we had a day to remember. The stingray experience was fabulous we saw turtles and lots of tropical fish. Then we had lunch on the beach and it was beautifully prepared and very fresh. Finished off nicely with a rum punch. Very informative without being boring. Fun and felt in safe hands. Thankyou so much 😄✨
Great experience

Good tour around the island on a boat

4.00This is a total boat tour, and you will experience waves. We did not drench as it was a calm day. The tour takes you to Stingray City, two beaches, and snorkeling. It was a good trip around the island. The tour operators need to be less aggressive with their instructions. Most tourists are there for a relaxed time, and it can be jarring. It gets to you sometimes.
