About this activity

WE TOUR NELSON'S DOCKYARD, SHIRLEYS HEIGHTS & SNORKEL This is a guided tour by a local spearfisherman. Taking in all the sights and sounds of the island on land and in the sea, with a very high chance of snorkeling with sea turtles, and a definite chance of seeing two shipwrecks! The snorkel is in mostly shallow water, off of a beach. THIS IS NOT A BOAT TOUR. Your snorkel guide enjoys spearfishing and can show you things while snorkeling you never even knew were below you! This is a private tour, meaning you will be the only travelers. It is roughly 4 hours long. There is cold water in the vehicle. Lunch is not provided on the tour. You will also have videos of you snorkeling around the shipwrecks and turtles emailed to you after the tour. If you don't wish to snorkel or if not all travelers would like to participate in the snorkel that is okay as well. Admission to national parks not included, it is 15$USD for two tickets, meaning you only pay one time.

Above & Beyond

My flight was canceled due to a pilot shortage. I didn’t make it to Antigua until a few days late. I missed my original booking date. Johnny was really great! He completely worked with me to reschedule. He made it an incredible experience. Every location he gave us fact & history, as well as time for us to explore it on our own. Snorkeling was great. He has everything we needed to make it a great experience. He even went as far as to capture some great pictures and videos of the experience. I highly recommend this experience.

Incredible Antigua Tour

It was incredible to be able to see the island of Antigua from a local perspective. Johnny drove us around to so many amazing natural and historical sites my head was spinning. He also graced us with a stop by one of his favorite local food shacks! Then we went snorkeling and, with Johnny as our guide, we saw tons of fish, sunken ships, and even a sea turtle! We were in Antigua as part of a Celebrity cruise and I felt very comfortable with Johnny's ability to get us back to the ship in a timely manner. Overall this was one of my favorite stops on our vacation and would highly recommend Johnny's tour!

I absolutely loved the tour and Johnny was very knowledgeable. The sights were breathtaking and the the snorkeling was also really cool. I saw more things than when scuba-diving. Highly recommend!

Great experience, 5* snorkelling with turtles!

We had a really great time with Johnny, fantastic experience we saw 2 turtles from just walking into the sea from the beach, no gimmicks - he knew exactly where to go. The best snorkelling we did on the island out of the trips we did! Provided fins and snorkel if needed. Really friendly, also a great tour of some of the historic sites on the island. Johnny is really knowledgable, all the stops were very interesting, including the English harbour tour and museum. A 5* experience thank you!

Must-book scuba tour with safe personal tour guide!

Johnny's tour was the highlight of me and my mother's trip. We enjoyed our time with Johnny so much we extended our tour with him. We spent a great two days touring and learning about the island! On the first day, he picked us up in his Jeep. We were toured around Nelson's Dockyard, then to other sites overlooking English Harbor. Then we went down to English harbor area to go snorkeling. Johnny was great at showing us the ship wrecks, and had a great eye for spotting sea creatures! He even got footage on his gopro, so we would have pic/video memories to bring home. The second day, he showed us other great places on each side of the island. We were shown beautiful locations, as well as landmarks. He is super knowledgeable about Antigua, and you can tell his passion for it. With just me and my mom on the tour, we felt very safe with him. I would definitely recommend this tour to any of my friends and family! Thank you Johnny for providing us such a memorable experience!

Great snorkeling tour

Johnny was an excellent guide and very informative throughout. He took us out snorkeling and took extra care of my dad who was trying it for the first time. He knows his way through these waters and was very efficient in showing us some of the best things under water. One of the best in Antigua! Highly recommend this tour package
