We took the eco-tour with two young children, four and seven. Our crew
was Ross, Jourdain, and Nicola. All three were friendly and helpful,
especially answering questions from our inquisitive seven-year-old, but
Nicola was a real gem. She helped the kids with the easy climb on Great
Bird Island and the trickier one at Hell's Gate, and both took a real
shine to her. We had the only kids on the boat; there were I believe
around twenty-six passengers in total, but it didn't feel crowded. My
older daughter loved hearing about turtles, mangroves, and other
wildlife. The younger one enjoyed the trip, but didn't get nearly as
much out of it. The snorkelling was a little beyond the capabilities of
the kids - it's too bad we couldn't have dropped the kids off at some
shallow and calmer water. All-in-all, a great day trip and for my older
daughter, the highlight of our week in Antigua.
