If you want local knowledge, great photo ops, a little adventure, a
great boat ride, and great Caribbean food, all while being surrounded by
absolute beauty than do this tour. The staff is fantastic, the gear is
in great shape and everything about this tour is first class. In over 20
years of cruising this is the only tour my wife and I have done twice.
Thanks Eli and Natalie!

Spent the day with Eli Fuller on his Extreme tour of Antigua. Swam with
the stingrays, snorkeled, explored a bunch of different beaches, saw
Nelson's Boatyard, etc. And had a blast bouncing on the waves on the
Atlantic side of the island. Everyone in our group, ages 14 - 60, had a
great day! This is a fabulous tour!

If you want a tremendous way to experience Antigua on the water, look no
further than Adventure Antigua. Last week my wife and I had the
pleasure of joining Eli Fuller and his crew on his Xtreme Tour. During
our 6 hour tour -we snorkeled twice and stopped at two deserted beaches.
The first beach (Green Island) was right out of romance novel. On one
side were kite surfers who provided great photo opportunities. On the
other side we had a wonderful lunch on the beach. The second beach was
later in the afternoon. Again, very isolated and very picturesque. The
highlight was finding some cows that mystically appeared on one end. On
the other end were a couple of topless bathers that I appreciated, but
my wife not so much. :) We cruised into Falmouth Harbour and checked out
the luxury mega-yachts. We also spent time in Sting Ray City. We viewed
the homes of Eric Clapton and Georgio Armani. Eli and his crew really
know the history, the geography, and the secret niches of the island.
This trip is an excellent value. We had the pleasure of enjoying out
trip with a group from Montana who were aboard one of the cruise ships.
They were a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. We were fortunate that the
water was a special shade of blue on the day of our trip. Thank you.

Reservation made via the Verandah Resort. Picked up by taxi with four
other guests for the drive to the North Coast, where the boat picked us
up at the beach next to the Sandal's resort. Seeing two enormous
catamarans coming to the beach at the same time was impressive. We had
to wade through the water to climb on board. The crew was enormously
helpful taking shoes and bags, and in general helping people up the
ladders. The group was small, 17 people total, and we could freely move
around. The trip was quite interesting with lots of info about the
turtle project on Long Island (and no, Oprah does not own a house
there), the mangroves, the Sahara dust hanging over the main island. I
would highly recommend Eli's website with tons of information and links!
The brown pelicans on Great Bird Island, the quick hike uphill, the
snorkeling, Hell's Gate, more snorkeling and the most fabulous BBQ
chicken I ever had. You have a great neighbor, Eli, if she still makes
the chicken. And great t-shirts - love the logo! The only down point was
that we had to wait 20 minutes in the blazing sun for our taxi to take
us back to the Verandah. And I also would suggest to have maps on board.
So many offshore islands. I had to go to Google Earth to try to retrace
our steps, which was fun too. Thanks Nikki, Noel and captain. Great
trip!

We took the Circumnavigation tour on January 10, 2012. Ross was our
captain and Trevor and Natalie were our crew. They were very
accommodating and so knowledgable about their beautiful island. Our day
was perfect, weather was great even with a small rain shower, lunch was
delicious on Green Island, snorkeling at the Pillars of Hercules was
fantastic! Really, we can't say enough! We hope to bring our family back
to Antigua someday and we will absolutely be taking another tour with
Adventure Antigua! We are thinking Eco-Tour next time! Thank you for a
memorable day!
