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).

Fantastic trip to see Turtles

5.00The communication from the initial booking to the day itself was fabulous. We were picked up by Andrew our driver and host for the day. Andrew made our day so enjoyable from the outset with commentary whilst driving to get the boat to Green Island. We had sea hammocks and snorkelling equipment provided which enabled us to swim out to encounter the sea turtles which were coming up for air all around us. There was only 4 of us on this trip so we had the island to ourself which felt so special, It was a great experience and highly recommend it.
A relaxing and enjoyable morning

5.00We had a great morning on this trip with Greta our guide and Devon our captain. It is well planned so that you get to Green Island and have plenty of time there before the big catamarans come in. We saw the turtles pop up out of the water for air and then had time to snorkel and relax on the small beach ( sadly no turtles to see while snorkeling but there were a few fish). The out to see for another stop where you could jump off the boat to swim and then onto another small beach. A very relaxing and enjoyable morning ⛱️🤿🐠😊
Unique experience and super Greta guide!!

5.00Booked tour for our family of six. Phoenix met us at the location and drove us in a nice van (45 minutes) to the boat location. She was very informative of the island. She provided snacks, fresh pineapple & beverages when we arrived to Green island. The boat was as pictured, however it has seen much better days. Also they provided snorkel gear & floating devices if you wanted/needed. No chairs, so bring towels to sit if you want. The turtles were there, but too far to swim with. Saw from boat & shore. Lots of time to be in the water. Snorkeling was NOT good. Not many fish & no coral. Lots of sea grass & that's why the turtles are there. Once the huge catamaran with 100+ people arrived we left. Also stopped at The Reef club for a cocktail( credit card only)on the return.

5.00We got in touch with the group “Antigua chiama Italia” as soon as we arrived at the airport and it was a real luck, because the staff, Italian, was willing to give us suggestions on how to get around the island. Greta was our guide as part of a tour to discover the pearls of Antigua, unforgettable verdant islands characterized by crystal clear sea and fine light sand. We could even see “giant” turtles and rays!! I really have to thank Greta for the professionalism with which she helped me snorkel: by character I tend to move with great distrust in environments that are completely new to me, but she with kindness and patience explained how to interact with local fauna and flora and allowed me to fully live the experience. Best wishes from Stefano and Valentina, I hope there is soon an opportunity to see you again!

5.00Very private. They made sure we got to see turtles and had pleasant trip. Driver was Greta, who stayed with us. Boat driver dropped us off and pick us up but not stay. Very private, 5 people on our trip. Good fish and beach, 3 turtles.

5.00Greta is an attentive and caring guide. Punctual and impeccable, she accompanied us to the island of Green Island in search of sea turtles, which only thanks to her and her experience we got to see so closely. It was a wonderful experience to visit an unspoilt island and we also enjoyed the boat ride. I highly recommend this tour to everyone, Greta's preparation on the life and history of Antigua in general is really great.
