A great day! - Johnny was great. Very friendly. We saw a turtle, eagle rays, and octopus! He picked us up early so we beat the cruise ship people to the picture points.

Johnny was great! He was... - Johnny was great! He was knowledgeable and friendly, and it was just the kind of tour we were hoping for. Well, we would have enjoyed better weather and better visibility while snorkeling, but that's just Mother Nature doing her thing. Still, we managed to have a good tour of the island and a great day overall!

Great! Amazing! - Johnny was amazing!!! Great knowledge of the island. Great tour. Didn’t know how to swim and Johnny made it happen with the life vest. Felt like a pro by the end. Me and my fiancé loved it! He also took great videos! Thanks Johnny!

Great Historical Overview Followed by Amazing snorkeling! - Great overview of the history of the Dockyard and the history of Shirley Heights. We liked the preview of the area we would be snorkeling in and the amazing views. By far though, the snorkeling was the highlight of our time, as we saw beautiful fish, several turtles, octopus, an eagle ray and sting rays! We are avid snorkelers and he led us to all the great spots. 10/10 would recommend!!

Excellent private snorkeling tour with sea turtles - Johnny picked us up from our resort, on time and ahead of the crowds. Snorkeling was stellar, he knew exactly where to take us at Galleon Bay. He took good care with us helped take amazing photos underwater! Best snorkeling experience and highly recommended.

Bubbles Up - Johnny did a terrific job showing us the sights, but he really excelled during the snorkeling! He even brought a buoy to make sure everyone was safe and he not only found great sea life and shipwrecks he brought a camera to capture video so we will always remember the great time we had in Antigua!

Great experience! - The views were amazing, Johnny was very knowledgeable about the island and the ocean. This is a great private tour if you want to skip the crowds. We got an early start and had the snorkeling sites all to ourselves and were lucky enough to see octopus, manta rays, turtles and a puffer fish!

Great trip! - We booked Johnny to try a different route of touring for our trip this year (vs. through cruise line). I am so glad we did! He was prompt and the smaller group made it sooo much more enjoyable! Johnny was great in sharing so much about the island, even though I was just excited to spend as much time in the water as possible since I’m a huge snorkel/diving person and could NOT wait to see what awaited us! It did not disappoint!!! And he was a fabulous snorkel guide!

Little time for such a nice trip ! - It all worked out on time , communication was good and friendly. Only unfortunately everything was very hectic at the end on the beach , far too little time to move. No short relaxation period . The journey time was unfortunately too long to the respective places ! Guide was totally under time pressure , too bad you can make more of it because it was so ,very nice .
