Really fun crew, great spots and tons of info the whole way. The snorkeling was nice but the Hell’s Gate portion was really worth it; very cool place. Strongly recommend Adventure Antigua if you are on the fence.

Great tour with plenty of great spots

Bryan_M, May 2024

Fun excursion!

Tina_L, Apr 2024

Was good - even with an emergency on board. Was handled well. Deck hands were fun & funny - good service! Esp The Lady!!!

Excellent Day

Jessamy_N, Mar 2024

Great day! The stops were really good and the snorkeling was good at Hells Gate. Got to swim with a turtle where we stopped for lunch. The lunch was delicious! Leslie and the two other crew members we were with were amazing!

Great tour

Lynda_W, Feb 2024

The crew was excellent! They were very knowledgeable about the places we went. Lunch was superb! Snorkeling was a great adventure. The only thing I recommend is don’t book this tour without knowing where you get picked up. Our resort was on the other side of the island and it cost us an extra $100 taxi ride. Other than that, was pleased with everything!

Fantastic day on and in the sea

a_s, Feb 2024

Great trip. Friendly, professional guides. Two opportunities to snorkel, and it was fantastic. The lunch and drinks provided were delicious. Followed by yummy banana bread.

Exceeding expectations

Moose_S, Feb 2024

Usually these tours don’t live up to the hype. But this one went above and beyond. The guides were fantastic. They were very knowledgeable about the area. The lunch was delicious. The pick up was very convenient to the cruise boat. No need to take a taxi or a bus just a few steps away and onto the boat.

Nice low activity excursion

Lillian_H, Feb 2024

There were several snorkel opportunities, nice lunch, pretty ride. Would've liked more time at Hell's Gate.

A pleasant, fun day with a knowledgeable crew

Sheldon_S, Feb 2024

It was well run, with lots of information about the bay. It was described accurately, always a plus!

So fun!

Julia_B, Feb 2024

What a great trip! All around. The gentlemen were absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend for a trip around the harbour and devils bridge

A snokellers dream paradise

Channing_L, Jan 2024

The memorable moments of the tour was snorkelling in the cool waters and seeing the fish. The atmosphere was great and the tour leaders were very entertaining and they were extremely knowledgeable about their country. Lastly, they made me feel comfortable in the sea since I am not a great swimmer. Overall, it was great fun, and I felt very comfortable as a solo female traveller.

Eco Tour Adventure

Rae_T, Jan 2024

Fun way to tour the island with a bit of fun facts/history, learn about the ecosystem/marine life, and take a peak at what’s happening under the sea. Lunch was also delicious!

Eco tour turned into circumnavigation extreme tour

Vanessa_L, Jan 2024

My husband and I were meant to go on the eco tour, but the staff said that the boat was not working. Somehow I feel like that was probably not true because we were the only ones there for it as far as we could tell, so my guess was that they likely didn't want to run it for just us, which fair enough, but we rented a car specifically to get Jolly Harbour for it and could not be rescheduled since we were leaving the next day. Luckily the boat captain offered for us to get onto the boat for the circumnavigation extreme tour instead, which was even better than we expected, hence the 5 stars despite the situation. The staff were all super nice and friendly, the food was good, and the variety of experiences was really good. Thanks for a great day!

Must do tour

Bhavin_D, Dec 2023

Excellent tour with exceptional crew. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to be out in Caribbean ocean for snorkeling.

Incredible tour! Book...

Jordan_H, Nov 2023

Incredible tour! Book this one!!! The power boat was a blast. Rode the waves really well. Beautiful views of multiple islands. Hell’s Gate was incredible. Optional to take a short hike inside the cave areas and water pools—highly recommend. The crew was very informative and helpful. Thanks to Charles, Bradley, and Arion for making the day awesome!

Antigua Boating

Anthony_H, Nov 2023

Very enjoyable excursion. David, Leslie & Bradley great crew. Informative, helpful & friendly. Definitely recommend this trip.

Must-do Antigua day trip!

Diana_W, Aug 2023

My partner & I had an amazing day trip with the team who picked us up in Jolly Harbour and transported us to several spots on the island, guiding us through everything we saw and helping us climb Hell’s Gate too! The lunch provided on board was spectacular— one of our favourite meals of our trip! They kindly provided full snorkelling gear and guided us through our snorkelling experiences. We also got to stop at some beautiful beaches to enjoy a swim. Our day concluded with delicious rum punch while we were transported back to our pick up point. We’re very happy with took this day trip, and highly recommend it!
