FANTASTIC Green Island and Sea Turtles - Half Day share boat trip
Overview
Available languages
4 hours 20 minutes
Mobile ticket
The tour starts with the land pick up with our van to reach the starting pier at Willikies.
We'll arrive on Green Island beach 1 hour and 45 minutes before the arrival of the NOISY catamaran with 70/80 people. It will be just the 7 of us to enjoy this wonderful beach.
The Times UK said: "There are 51 islands lying off Antigua, and you could — and should — explore some on a boat trip from the mainland."
The best to visit is Green Island: one of the most untouched islands in the Caribbean.
Imagine being able to stay with a small group of up to 7 people on a deserted island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. The island is called Green Island and is a paradise for biologists from all over the world. Deserted beaches where you will be the only one to leave footprints in the sand. We'll see the turtles surface on the surface of the water and then dive again. We'll reach natural pools with such crystalline water that you will hardly have seen in other parts of the world.

Green Island
Green Island is by far a natural pearl of the Caribbean Sea. It is an ecosystem protected by the government of Antigua, a paradise for those who love nature and dream beaches. After relaxing on the beach we will have the opportunity to see the turtles that emerge from the water to breathe, an indescribable emotion, it will seem to be inside a documentary, do not believe your eyes. Next we will reach natural sea pools with crystal clear water. Finally we will reach the famous beach of Emerald Cove, reachable EXCLUSIVELY BY SEA, where we will see the great starfish of the Caribbean (not guaranteed).

5.00Great communication, smooth pickup and drop off. 6 of us on the tour so loved that it was small. Our guides Andrew and Martina and boat operator were are personable and shared some St. John and surrounding area history otw to Green Island. Turtles were out and about. Had a pineapple snack and prosecco (other drinks offered). Definitely recommend, worth the time and money. Thank you! We throughly enjoyed our time spent with this small group.

5.00An unforgettable experience from start to finish. We loved that it was a small‑group tour — it made everything feel personal and relaxed. Our guide, Marco, is a marine biologist and was absolutely fantastic. He explained the different types of fish, the sea turtles, their habits, and even shared pieces of Antigua’s history along the way. Because the tour operator brought us out early, we arrived before the big crowds and had the entire area to ourselves. It made the encounter with the turtles even more special 🥰 Marco was incredibly helpful, patient, and passionate about the ocean, which made the whole experience feel special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Antigua.
Thanks Greta!! Thank you Antigua!

5.00Greta was our guide. Very kind and brilliant. He explained the secrets and history of the island, Saint John and Green Island. We snorkeled with the turtles on Green Island and she brought for us everything we needed: masks, go pro, small snack and something to drink and even small hammocks to enjoy swimming in the natural pools. She and the captain of the boat, Devon, were attentive to our needs and very kind.

5.00Beautiful experience, I highly recommend doing it with them. Arrived at 9.30 on the island there were only the 6 of us in the group with no one. Marco accompanied us in everything and explained the details of the island. Number 1

4.00We had a lovely morning with Greta and Marco. We went to the beautiful Green Island and there were only a couple of other people there. We saw turtles everywhere which was wonderful. The sand was while and the sea was crystal clear. Marco and Greta spoke Italian mainly but their English was good. We didn't feel fully included because we were English but it didn't bother us. We spent quite a long time on the island and then went on to another place with a bar. Whilst it was all lovely it felt like a very expensive trip for what it was. Sadly, and this is not their fault, I was charged twice for this trip. I contacted Chiama Itallia and they said I had to contact Viator. Unfortunately, despite trying everything, this has proved impossible and I am out of pocket by £224.
Awesome trip to Green Island!

5.00My husband and I really enjoyed our boat trip to Green Island! The boat is small, a fun ride, and we got a little tour of the surroundings and history on our way to the island. We were the only ones there for almost 2 hours! We saw turtles and an eagle ray, and enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear waters. The prosecco and pineapple were great, and beer and water are offered too. Our guide and captain were nice, fun, and professional. On the way back we took a swim in the "pool" - a patch of crystal clear water a bit out from land. A very fun half-day trip!
Super hike and great guide

5.00The experience with Greta was fantastic, she supported us from beginning to end and was very kind. The excursion to the green island is really fantastic, we could snorkel in peace and see many fish and sea turtles. Greta was super organized and met our every need, really an experience that we recommend!!
Swimming with Turtles....Just Awesome!

5.00AWESOME ! great trip out to Green Island with Greta and Marco. Definitely worth the early start to get to the Island way before anyone else and have exclusive time with 3 or 4 green turtles swimming about around you. Only 4 guests and 2 guides so just perfect. Once the bigger groups and boats started to arrive 1.5hrs later then the turtles disappeared and so did we to a lovely bay near The Reef restaurant for drinks and snacks and chilling before we returned back for the transfer beck to the hotel early afternoon A truly wonderful time. So Grazie and Ciao Greta and Marco
Snorkeling with turtles in Antigua

5.00My wife, her Dad and I took this tour while on a cruise. Greta met us right where and when we were told to meet and it was easy to find. She walked us over to her van and drove us across the island to the boat. Along the way she shared info and chatted with us about the island. When we got to the boat we met Devon our captain for the day. We set off on a short boat ride to an empty beach and we started seeing turtles before we even got off the boat. Devon dropped us on the beach with Greta, and left with the boat. The seven of us on the tour spent about an hour and a half on the beach by ourselves. While snorkeling there we swam with the turtles and even saw an eagle ray. There were also starfish and hermit crabs. When the large tour boat showed up Devon came back and got us and took us to another empty beach. Devon and Greta were both great and verry accommodating to us. We never felt rushed and got to chat with both of them about the island. This was one of the best tours we have been on. And it is great for all ages.
