AMAZING experience!!! - This was an amazing experience! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We had been on another tour where we could see the Pillars of Hercules, but couldn't get very close. This tour allowed us to swim right up to the area with the most fish, and get there quickly from shore. The dry snorkels combined with the scooters allowed us to go under the surface easily and see even more sea life. We saw a turtle, sting rays, tons of fish, and a shipwreck. We are good swimmers, and didn't use lifejackets, but there were plenty of novice swimmers on this trip who did use them. The crew was friendly and helpful and took tons of pictures, sharing them at no additional charge.

The best trip we did - This is definitely one activity not to be missed! We only found out about this via TripAdvisor and saw the many positive reviews so we had to give it a go. Great communication on booking and in the run up to the activity. We got picked up from our resort (option during checkout at no extra cost) and transported to Galleon Beach, English Harbour - which itself was lovely. Good info given on the drive as well. Thorough safety briefing given and then we got going. It was AMAZING! We saw turtles, octopus, puffer fish, eels and lots and lots of fish. Photos taken by the Pillars of Hercules and the team leaders took lots of underwater shots as well which were amazing (see below!) - and they don’t cash in on selling the photos to you and so many other activity operators do. The team were amazing and patient with less confident members of the group. Really recommend this one!

I want one! - The staff were very cool. One of the staff members had an underwater camera and took pictures and video, Which was shared to a dropbox account, free of charge. Another staff member had a flotation device just in case you got tired, and another member was on a boat, just in case you wanted to tap out or take a break outside of the water. We saw turtles, Stingrays, and assortment of tropical fish, Hercules pillars, amazing reef formations. It was an incredible experience. scooters were awesome, they really enhanced the experience. And they had extra scooters available just in case one died. it felt like we were out in the sea forever, I even got tired with the scooter doing most of the work. It was a great trip and I would definitely do it again.

Best snorkeling in Antigua - The most fun we had in Antigua. The pick up and drop off from our resort was awesome! We saw sea turtles, eagle ray and a ship wreck. They go above and beyond and even take pictures you get at the end for free. Highly recommend if you’re in Antigua!

Magic underwater! - This was hands down the best tour we did in Antigua, and probably the best snorkle tour I have ever done. Imran was an amazing guide and took hundreds of pictures. We spotted at least 5 turtles. I highly recommend going in the afternoon. You will catch them feeding in the brush. Simply amazing and a bucket list item for sure! I am seriously considering never snokeling without a scooter again.

Amazing adventure! - I will never snorkel without a scooter again! Inram was a phenominal guide. There was so much we saw! We spotted about 5 turtles. One came right to the surface under me. This was hands down the best tour we did while in Antigua. You cannot miss out on this experience!

A wonderful experience - can't recommend enough! - This tour was absolutely fantastic. We were picked up on time right from our hotel lobby by our tour guide Imran. Imran was our taxi driver, our snorkel guide and our friend for the duration of this tour. We mainly booked this tour to see sea turtles, the addition of scooters was an interesting plus. Never used one before, now I'm not sure I can snorkel again without one :-) Imran was great. As mentioned, we were picked up on time, in an air condition van and driven right to our snorkel location. The location itself is well maintained and a great location to get familiar with your gear (mask, snorkel, fins) as well as your scooter. Imran's directions were clear, quick and in no time we made our way to the water. No boat, you walk in right off the shore which was great. Imran made sure everyone's gear worked before we left, which was great, and then off we went. The scooters are super easy to use and make snorkeling a breeze. It's great for someone who is not a great swimmer as the machine does the work for you. For those that are great swimmers, the scooters are fun. They help you move through the water with ease, dive, surface, whatever you want. We made our way out to sea, the visibility was minimal close to shore but we still spotted two turtles. As we made our way further our the visibility increased. We saw a ship wreck, a coral farm, tons of fish and five sea turtles. The turtles was my main reason for taking this tour and it did not disappoint. Watching them underwater, watching them surface for air, it was an amazing experience. Diving with this scooter limits the amount of energy you need to put into snorkeling. The equipment was great, we wanted to see tulles and did, and Imran was fantastic. I can't recommend this tour enough.

Great fun experience - We had a great time, safety briefing and customer care first class. We saw lots of fish but due to reduced visibility sadly no turtles, hence 4 stars. Turtle absence no ones fault they are wild animals after all and will roam as they see fit. Overall I would thoroughly recommend and the scooters are great fun.
