Snorkeling in Antigua
December 19, 2023
We had a great time with our snorkeling excursion in Antigua. The people in charge of the activity were very attentive and even someone like me who cannot swim was I felt very comfortable being on the boat. I very much recommend this excursion.

Perfect combination

We throughly enjoyed our day. We got to view the country on our drive to the mangroves. Our guide took us on a short kayak through the mangrove to the beach. There a boat took us to the coral reef. Both the guide and drive shared their knowledge. I liked how the guide actually went with us around the coral reef.a traditional lunch at the beach was a nice touch. We even had a bit of time to dip into the ocean.

Good value

The excursion starts with a 30 minute car ride across Antigua. The driver was pleasant, could be a bit more sharing of Antiguan info. The kayak portion was a bit short, kayaking thru mangroves. Good care was taken for the snorkel component. The swell was about 3 feet, enough to get water into your snorkel on occasion, stragglers were admonished to stay with the group, then finally sent back to the boat. Another boat of snorkellers showed participants without buoyancy belts, one person got into trouble. Our excursion was very cognizant about safety. Would definitely recommend them.

A true adventure

It was such a treat to Kayak thru the Mangrove trees with our guide. He was outstanding!!! He did an excellent job of pointing out a plethora of interesting facts about the Mangroves and the wildlife that inhabit it. After touring the Mangroves, we joined our boat for snorkeling. Our guides again excelled! They made sure that our safety was paramount! The snorkeling was wonderful as we were able to see a multitude of sea life. The guides would dive down and point out different species for us to observe. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone that is interested in the beauty of nature!! Very diverse with Mangrove and Sea life.

Question -Snorkeling Time
December 30, 2019
I didn't see a place to ask a question, so I'm asking in this area. How long is the snorkeling part of the excursion? One review says it's "way too short" while another says the time frame is great. Thanks in advance!

This was wonderful. It was cheaper through the ship 's excursion. But was sold out. We wanted our entire family to get to go; so we booked this. How lucky were we. They were so attentive, funny, friendly and just made our excursion so much fun. It was so worth paying the extra. At the beach, we got a nice lunch, included. The kayaking was fun and the snorkeling was terrific. Our group ranged from 17-79- and we all loved this trip!

Unique experience

We loved kayaking through the waterways lined with mangroves ending at a secluded beach where our snorkel boat picked us up for a couple of hours of snorkeling. Our guide Jerry made this excursion so much more than the touted activities with his sharing of local history and culture.

The only thing that could have been better was the weather. It rained most of the day, but we were going to get wet anyway! It was buggy in the mangrove, but our guide was wonderful and gladly shared her sunscreen. Experienced some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean! All our guides were fabulous and the other two couples with us were such nice people. Such a memorable trip!

I did this tour on Jan. 7th - the kayak part was short, but sweet - the mangroves are interesting; the beach/snorkeling was very nice and uncrowded; and the lunch/drinks were all good. I would say that it is worth doing, but don't expect a 5-star experience.

Antigua Kayak, Snorkel & Beach
January 21, 2019
Enjoyed the excursion. The ride to the beach was interesting as we got to see the countryside. The Kayaking was fun but be sure to bring bug spray. I was a bit disappointed in the snorkeling as there were very few fish where we anchored. At the end of our adventure we all really enjoyed the lunch our guide prepared for us on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

Lots of fun and relaxing
October 24, 2018
Sadly Tropical Storm Kirk prevented us from snorkeling but the tour group informed us as soon as we arrived and offered a small refund to continue or full refund to not go. We chose to do what we could do. The kayaking was a very easy trip through the mangroves and our guide was really nice. Next we headed to the beach since we couldn't snorkel. The beach was GORGEOUS and when we saw the waves breaking at the shoreline we understood why we couldn't snorkel. The water was still clear and beautiful and looked calm until suddenly it wasn't. The food that was included in the tour was fantastic as was the staff at the restaurant/bar. Our guide was very nice and informative. Wish we could have snorkeled but appreciate the fact that they kept us safe.

Antigua Kayak, Snorkel and Beach Tour
April 02, 2018
We took this tour on March 5, 2018. At the time Antigua was experiencing costal flooding and rough surf from large waves caused by a massive storm off the East coast of the US. Through no fault of the tour company we couldn’t snorkel at all and only a very small portion of the Kayak ride was available. HOWEVER, the tour company is to be commended for making the best of a bad situation and doing everything possible to give us a good time. We had to take a different route from the cruise terminal to the tour due to roads being closed along the usual route. We saw parts of the island not usually seen by tourists, and the guide kept us entertained during the ride. After the short Kayak ride, we were taken to a place on a beach where we had barbecue, rum punch and rum. Entertainment was again provided, and we were all in a great mood by the time we left. I would absolutely take this tour again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun excursion led by some great people.

Great tour
January 31, 2018
The tour took about 4 hours. I am not an experienced kayak-er but I had no trouble kayaking through the gentle lagoon area to get to the open water. There we boarded a boat for a 10 minute ride to the reef in Cades Bay. We snorkeled for a good long time. The boat took us back to the beach where we kayaked back to the original starting point. They then dropped us off at Ffryes beach for about 1 hour. I recommend this excursion because you get some much included: tour, kayak, snorkel and beach.

We had a blast on this excursion, the two of us and one other young couple, the tour guides were very nice, knowledgeable and helpful, they even found us conch shells to take home that were not broken. The only draw back was the area they took us through to get to the open water was mangroves (beautiful) and i found later that i was bitten by at least a hundred mosquitoes... so moral....spray on repellent before you go

Great Day

The kayaking and snorkeling was fun; we got a taste of Antigua beaches and the reef. Just right for a 4 hour trip. The people who took care of us were very friendly and entertaining. The beach stop was just the right thing after the snorkeling. Beaches in Antigua are some of the most beautiful in the Caribbean.

Relaxing tour with lots of variety
February 19, 2017
We saw some very lovely parts of Antigua and the snorkel part of it was in beautiful water with coral reefs. I've seen more variety of fish in other snorkel tours I've taken, and the coral was mostly not in great shape. But the water was great and there were not too many people on the tour which made it more relaxing. The kayak portion was mostly through a mangrove and probably could have been skipped. But our driver was fantastic and entertaining - best I've had - and bought us some local beer and pineapple to try after someone asked about it.
