Xtreme Circumnavigation (Including Stingray City)

If you "feel the need for speed," this high-speed offshore runs through the amazing islands of the Antiguan north sound, with their myriad coral reefs, could be the highlight of your entire trip. Climb aboard a high-performance 45-foot power boat capable of reaching speeds of 40 MPH for this extreme Miami Vice-style excursion around Antigua. This portion usually lasts approximately 40-minutes.

We then head to Stingray City Marine Park where you'll snorkel and have your picture taken actually holding one of these ancient and beautiful fish. This session lasts about 45-minutes.

We then head to Green Island, where you'll get a kick out of the Robinson Crusoe style buffet lunch, with your toes in the water. Prior to lunch, you'll have an opportunity to take a walk through the island over to its other beach for a nice swim before.

After lunch, we then head south to tour from the sea, Nelson's Dockyard with your own on-board local historian. We don't get off the boat, but pull right into the dockyard where all the important structures are fully explained.

We then motor to the awesome Pillars of Hercules, with its volcanic boulders below the surface, for a guided snorkel trip of about 40-minutes.

After the snorkel session, we head for the next swim and beachcombing at the extremely secluded and beautiful Rendezvous Bay. We stay for about 45-minutes before heading back up the West coast into St. Johns.

When choosing this tour, please keep in mind that, although the boat has been designed for offshore racing, the five-mile run from Stingray City to our lunch spot on the north of Green Island could be a little "bumpy" for some. This tour is not recommended if you are pregnant. In addition, rum punch is served only at the end of the tour, so this is not a "booze cruise." However, if you are the kind of person who likes some excitement and wants to experience what an offshore powerboat race feels like, then the spray of this wild, open water section will keep you smiling. If you are "young at heart" (and not "faint of heart"), it could just be the thrill of a lifetime. With five stops along the 50-mile run around the island, this tour is action packed. For those seeking a slower-paced tour around Antigua, we suggest the Eco Tour and Snorkel.
