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!

Must-do Antigua day trip!

Diana_W, Aug 2023

AMAZING!

Lorrie_L, May 2023

Loved the entire crew and the whole experience! Saw turtles, learned about the history of the islands, had an amazing lunch and it was a great time.

Best activity in Antigua

Jeanne_M, May 2023

This is a must do in Antigua. A beautiful way to appreciate the island. Great lunch, too! Staff is super accommodating and helpful.

Response from Host, May 2023

THANK YOU!!! this is lovely and we thank you so much for this very kind review :) We are happy you had a good time on our Xtreme tour and hope you come back and try our other two in the future!

Brilliant excursion that provides numerous memorable moments

Ashley_B, Apr 2023

Brilliant! Loved the whole experience - informative, varied, humorous. Crew were excellent and very social and helpful. Hells Gate was stand out experience. Lunch and rum punch went down very well. Great vfm - I have no hesitation in recommending this trip.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

This is amazing thank you so much!! we are so happy you had a great day on our Eco tour. Next time come and try our Xtreme!! Hope to see you back soon :)

Great day on the water

John_E, Apr 2023

Lovely friendly crew, very knowledgeable about the ecology. It was nice to meet Barry, the friendly barracuda on the reef when snorkelling. Saw plenty of turtles. Hells Gate bridge was spectacular but it’s probably unnecessary to get off the boat to clamber over it. Have a swim in the crystal clear water instead. Very good lunch served on board, and liberal rum punches on the way home. The boat has a big canopy to keep you from roasting, and is very fast and stable. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

:) I haven't even met Barry yet!!! I need to go on the tour again myself soon haha Thank you guys for your lovely review of our Eco tour - so happy you guys had a fun time and we hope to see you in the near future!

Amazing Experience

Samile_E, Mar 2023

Had an amazing time! Great communication and the tour guides were very friendly, attentive and with good sense of humour. Cannot fault them at all. We had a nice walk at Hell’s Gate Island and a very yummy lunch. Snorkelling around the coral reef was very memorable and we managed to spot a few turtles!

GREAT FOR FAMILIES OR COUPLES

Susannah_H, Mar 2023

The stop at Hell's Gate was absolutely picturesque. One of the friendliest crews, including the captain, we have had in a long while.

An exciting day in Antigua

Sharron_T, Feb 2023

The crew was fantastic and what a fun day out on the boat. They seemed to really care and safety was the key. The bbq chicken lunch was yummy.

A great 6hrs with the Eco-Tour crew.

Trevor_B, Feb 2023

Bird Island. A tricky climb over rocks for spectacular views of the Devil's Bridge, then good snorkelling over the reef. Two groups, one "restful", one tougher.

Great Day Out

MAGGIE_M, Nov 2022

Great day touring the islands, crew were all good fun and the chicken and salad lunch was perfect, plantain was lush and the banana cake and rum punch a great way to finish off the day.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thanks so much guys, wonderful review that we so much appreciate. come back soon!!

Good day out but fell short of expectation

Christopher_R, Aug 2022

Slightly dissapointed with the trip. Mentions in the advert visit the turtle conservation project at Long Bay but due to a delay this was cancelled. When questioned about this I was informed that this was a different tour. Upon return and checking this was in fact supposed to be included in this tour. I understand the reasons for the delay and as to why it happened but also think they should of been more accommodating for the group.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi there, it's unfortunate that you didn't have the typical five star type experience on our Eco Tour. However, I've done some research and figured out what the problem was. You see at no point in our Eco Tour description do we mention getting off the boat to go and be part of a turtle project anywhere. Please go have a look at our website and see the description for the Eco Tour. Jron says you asked him when we would be going to see the "turtles" (Aldabra tortoise at Laviscount Island near Long Bay). He says he explained to you that you were confusing our Eco Tour with the Adventure Islands Tour that makes a long stop at Laviscount Island and that we didn't do that on this tour. There was no delay there but what happened is Sandals booked you on our Eco Tour and it appears as though you expected to be on our Adventure Islands Tour. Obviously that would be disappointing but that was nothing at all to do with misrepresentation in our marketing or us not doing something we said we would do. You were booked by another party on a different tour than what you expected to be on. What sucks is that my company gets a three star review through no fault of our own. In fact, I think if you go and read what we said we would do on our Eco Tour, you'd have to agree that you experienced exactly what was described for that tour. I'm sorry you didn't get what you want and I'm sorry you gave us a 3 star review because of your or the hotels mistake. It should be noted that the hotel you booked with didn't hear from you after the tour and was surprised by this review also.

Fun in the sun

Chareese_G, May 2022

The service and information was excellent. The sites, views, and swimming was incredible. The lunch provided was tasty my favorite part was the banana bread 😋! And of course the rum punch ☺️

Enjoyed the short hike...

Kathy_W, Feb 2022

Enjoyed the short hike around Devils Gate. And the information about the island at various points during the boat ride. Lunch on the boat was good.

Sunshine, sea and snorkelling.

Clare_P, Dec 2021

It was a really enjoyable trip with enough time at the stopping places to decide what to do. The crew were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. All in all a great way to see the north coast of Antigua and enjoy the clear warm waters.

Fantastic day out 🐢

Alice_L, Nov 2021

The Adventure Antigua team were fantastic, friendly and really knowledgeable about the reefs, animals and the island. The tour was fantastic and lived up to expectations. We got to see some turtles and snorkelled with an Eagle ray. The reefs are looking a little sad but the guides told us about projects and initiatives going on that are to try and help restore the environment. We would thoroughly recommend the trip - the rum punch and banana bread were also great highlights!!

Must do!

Eman_K, Jul 2021

We were first to be picked up and last drop off at Jolly Harbour and we enjoyed every minute. The guys on the crew are the nicest and really made a memorable trip for us. Amazing scenery from the climb up Hells gate island, fun snorkeling and a great lunch. This really was the perfect way to see some of Antigua’s most beautiful sites. Wish we had more time, would’ve done the extreme adventure cruise as well. Thanks again!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Fantastic! So happy you enjoyed. You'll have to come have to do the Xtreme soon. Thanks again.

Great day out!

Sharon_B, Mar 2020

We can't recommend this trip highly enough. Clean, spacious speedboat with very professional, friendly crew, with outstanding local knowledge of conservation. We were all carefully guided with snorkelling and the short but fascinating hikes at Hell's Gate and Bird Island. The lunch and drinks were excellent in quality and quantity. No loud music or dancing, just a fantastic, civilised fun day out. Well worth the money. Don't hesitate to book!

Very nice tour recommended

senen_g, Feb 2020

All great Trevor was a great guide and the hell s gate part was fantastic, food could be better with some fish instead or as well as chicken but it was an ok lunch nothing bad
