An amazing trip, not to be missed

We had previously visited Antigua with our daughter, in 2019, and went out with Danny and the crew for the lobster and bird island adventure and enjoyed it so much that when my wife and I returned this year we booked to do it all over again.
The boat has got bigger but the experience was just as wonderful as it was in 2019, possibly better! The new boat is much bigger with plenty of room for all to catch the sun or seek some shade while being looked after by the great crew. Snorkelling great and all done with safety very much top of the agenda and of course the lobster lunch again magnificent, washed down with plenty of rum punch, beer and soft drinks, if required. The crew couldn’t have worked harder to make it a great day for all and this was also helped sailing with a great bunch of other guests.
If you only do one boat trip while in Antigua, do this one. Thanks Danny and crew.

Absolutely Fabulous boat trip

My wife and I took the snorkeling tour to bird Island with the Lobster lunch.
We were picked up by the boat at coco bay (we stayed at Keyonna beach. See separate review).
From the start the guys and girls running the boat were very welcoming and friendly and no question about the passing coastline was a problem. We started in the Caribbean Sea, but as you approach the northern tip, it meets the Atlantic and becomes a bit choppier.
We headed off to bird Island for our snorkeling over a reef.
The boat is a very good size and has seats in and outside if you need shade.
We arrived at Bird Island and given a safety brief. Snorkeling equipment was provided to all who chose to snorkel. There was no pressure to snorkel, and several young children stayed and practiced with some of the crew near the boat.
The rest of us headed off on a guided tour of the reef for 30-40 where we saw plenty of fish, sea turtles and a stingray.
After that we all had lunch on the beach. The crew cooked lobster (and chicken/vegetarian. You need to tell them at time of booking if you don’t want lobster). They provided plenty of salad and pasta to compliment. Soft drinks and rum punch was also available. It was nice to meet and chat with people from other countries.
After about an hour and half we were back on the boat heading back. On the way we stopped off for more snorkeling where we saw star fish.
Overall this was a very enjoyable and informative trip. One I would recommend if you get a chance.

This excursion is a must!

We spent seven days at Sandals and booked this excursion through Viator. It was hands down the best day we had the entire trip! We were nervous booking an excursion outside of Sandals….it was amazing! The hosts were fun, light-hearted, polite yet remained professional with safety standards. The food was the best dinner we had all week! The rum punch was delicious and plentiful. As for the snorkeling, we saw several fish, sting ray, sea turtles, and starfish. We collected beautiful shells from Maiden Island. If you’re trying to decide on an excursion, this is truly a MUST! We will be back and book this same tour again!
Great culinary & snorkeling adventure.

Great experience!

The crew was wonderful, high energy, attentive, and friendly. We visited a beautiful snorkel spot and also got to stop at 2 other places to swim. On top of that, we were offered plenty to eat and drink and very well taken care of. Well worth your money and time!
Amazing experience

Great cruise, delicious lobster lunch.

This was a wonderful cruise. We only had 12 people aboard which made for a very comfortable and uncrowded trip. The guides took extra time to point out and describe each beach or point of interest as we passed it. They handed out passion fruit juice at first, then rum punch later. We had a delicious grilled lobster lunch prepared on board by Danny, which we ate on the nice picnic tables in the shade at waters edge on maiden island. Then we were treated to banana bread on the way back. We snorkeled twice, at bird island and at the artificial reef near maiden island. The guides were attentive and friendly, overall a very enjoyable day.
Excellent trip,

Really impressed with this trip, would definitely recommend. The crew were both great fun and highly professional, lots of great chatter during the whole trip. Snorkelling was excellent and lobster lunch really impressive, having lunch on beach tables with feet in warm sea is really quite special.
If you are thinking of taking this trip, then do, you won’t be disappointed.

Not enough lobster

This was a fun tour! We got to see a turtle and a few fish as we snorkeled around. We had a guide showing us through the waters, which is pretty cool. The only thing that I don't think is a good value is the lobster. My brother and I were at the back of the line (probably 2nd to last ppl to get food) and we definitely didn't get nearly as much lobster as others on the same tour. Considering the price, I don't feel like either of us got what we should have. The food was dwindling and there clearly wasn't enough for everyone on board to get what they paid for. Other than that, the tour itself is fun and if you make it to the front of the food line, then this is a great value! The rum punch is delicious :P
