The adventure was definitely one of the top snorkeling trips if ever been on. The crew was so wonderful accommodating and generous. I would definitely do it again and suggest that everyone does it. We had so much fun. Thank you again Creole Tours for the amazing experience.

Awesome trip. Would definitely recommend. Beautiful scenery, accommodating crew and delicious lunch.

Great boat ride, but horrible snorkeling tour

donnadvip, Apr 2024

Unfortunately, I cannot give this cruise a good review for a snorkeling tour. The guides on the boat did not guide us towards any particular sections, they just got us the snorkeling gear, and then sent us to search for ourselves. I asked almost everyone on the tour and no one saw any fish during either of the snorkeling stops, except 1 young lady that went super far from the boat and saw 1 sea turtle, and that was it. It was a huge disappointment because I've heard so much about the snorkeling and Antigua and read so many great reviews on this specific tour. So it's odd that we saw nothing and did not get guided during snorkeling comma so I only wonder if it was because it was easter weekend and maybe they were short staffed? But I will say that it is a lovely boat, and a much smaller group than the other boat tours, which is great, and the food and drinks were delicious!

Much needed day at sea

Trevon_H, Mar 2024

The service from all the crew members were amazing. Bird island and snorkeling was a vibe. Food good!

Wasn’t my favorite snorkeling trip

Emily_U, Mar 2024

The entire trip was 6 1/2 hours, but total snorkel time was only about an hour. We spent a good deal of time sitting and waiting for lunch to be served (probably 45 mins). Didn’t see anything while snorkeling, with the exception of some small fish and seagrass. I would guess there are better spots to snorkel. Crew and captain were great though!

Amazing and perfect.

A very memorable experience

Omgitzher54, Jan 2024

This trip was so much fun. I took my 6 year old and my 2 year old and they loved it too. The ride was smooth and despite what others said we enjoyed watching the pick ups at various locations as they pull right up to the beach and put the ladder in the water. There was ample space for all 20 of us to spread out between the top and bottom of the boat. The bean bags were also fun to sit on. While snorkeling we put guide pulled up live lobster, conch and a small starfish. We also saw tons of fish and a sea turtle. The lobster on the beach was delicious and the drinks were endless (if you chose). There was music but it wasn’t too loud so it was still a peaceful experience. As others have said the crew was great! Thank you for a memorable time with my family on your boat!

Spectacular!!!

Aaron_A, Jan 2024

Great snorkel trip!

Kara_R, Jan 2024

Had a great experience with Creole Antigua Tours! Very responsive on WhatsApp to confirm our beach pick up (which was great!). Crew Kiran and Quante were very personable and shared with us their knowledge of the island. Snorkeling we saw turtles, stingray, and many fish. Beach lunch was delicious and drinks were well served! Boat itself and ride were great, not too bumpy and plenty of space for all parties to sit. We had an otherwise unfortunate vacation but this excursion let us end on a positive high note!

A must book!

Alden_H, Dec 2023

So much fun! We are so happy this was the first thing we did on the island, because it really brought us into vacation mode! The guides are so incredible, and you can’t beat the views!

Anniversary boat ride

Quinterra_R, Nov 2023

This excursion was amazing! The food, views and relaxation did not disappoint! We really enjoyed ourselves!

Best Snorkel Cruise Ever!

Margaret_E, Nov 2023

An amazing trip! The staff was excellent! First they picked us up on the beach at our hotel-loved this! Then we were welcome to an immaculately clean boat! It was sparkling! Even the bathroom was clean! I’ve never seen a clean bathroom on a tour boat! And the toilet worked it was great! Next we went to a beautiful snorkeling location by bird island. The crew was great with giving instructions and snorkeling gear. My son was afraid so we stayed on the boat and watched the guys make our lunch! It was so delicious! And we were able to get TWO LOBSTER TAILS!!! Seasoned to perfection! Garlic bread and my sons chicken was also delicious! My salad was great too! After lunch we got some time on the beach and then headed off to another snorkeling location. We got to see fish, giant turtles and a big starfish! My son tried to bite the starfish but I was so excited that he was able to see these things in real life and not on tv or in a cartoon! I would definitely recommend this tour! Music was also great! They mixed me a yummy cocktail that tasted like cotton candy! We had so much fun my only regret is that I didn’t get a tshirt! Next time!

Fun Day!

Vicki_W, Sep 2023

We had a great time! The crew members were so attentive, friendly and fun! It was a great day! Definitely recommend.

Do it!

Jack_B, Aug 2023

Fantastic! Crew was friendly, informative and just plain great.Alcohol available but Not a booze cruise! Lunch was awesome on a beautiful shaded beach. The whole experience was fun beginning to end.

Great crew and great scenery

Roman_C, Jul 2023

The food was fantastic as well as the beach we ate at. We stopped at two places to snorkel. First one was the longer one and saw more there.

A worthy bucket list snorkeling and lunch cruise

PAULA_G, Jul 2023

Truly an amazing experience. The staff did a wonderful job from beginning to end of this cruise. All the food was delicious. Thank you all for the great service and experience.

Classy Snorkel Excursion

Tabatha_T, Jul 2023

We had the BEST time! This is not a party boat. This is a well thought out excursion. Please don’t ever change. Just the right amount of people on the boat. The food was excellent and the crew was professional and so nice. Next time we are in Antigua we plan to do this twice! Thank you for the experience!

Fun Excursion with Friends

Tara_L, Jun 2023

This trip was perfect! They didn’t cram too many people on the boat, the food was AMAZING, the crew was fun and professional, the snorkeling was great, and the best part was getting to spend some time at the private beach area. Highly recommend!

Great day on a boat

Emma_S, Jun 2023

First off, the crew were great, that has to be said and the lunch was really nice. We had chicken, shrimp and fish along with salads and garlic bread however unfortunately we felt that the snorkeling spots really undelivered. We did see two turtles and if it had not been for them, we would probably have rated it lower but there was very little other marine life. The coral was cool but not enough variety for us. We spent more time either on the boat or on the beach so if that's what you are looking for, give this a go but not recommended for snorkeling.
