“Our power snorkel excursion in Antigua was absolutely incredible - the highlight of our trip! From start to finish, everything was organized. Bernie, our driver, was friendly and full of interesting facts about the island, setting the tone for a great day. Once we hit the water, Rex and Renek were fantastic guides — patient, fun, and made sure everyone felt comfortable using the power snorkels before we began. We saw sea turtles, stingrays, tons of colorful fish, and even an octopus! The best moment was swimming alongside a turtle at the end and watching it munch on a jellyfish. An unforgettable experience — highly recommend!”

“Johnny was very informative on the history of Antigua along with both the historical sites he took us to. He is also very knowledgeable when it comes to locating the marina life in Galleon Beach, we found 5 turtles, a stingray, lionfish and a jelly. I would like to personally thank Johnny for being so patient with me when I kept breathing through my nose whilst trying to get to grips with snorkeling for the first time. Swimming alongside the turtle was a dream come true for my nephew, which we have on video as provided by Johnny. I am so glad we went for this private tour rather than…”
