We took the Adventure Antigua Eco-Tour while on our Caribbean cruise
this December. Despite a change in our ship's departure time, they made
sure that we made it back to our ship with time to spare.
The tour is excellent - incredibly informative, educational, and most of all, full of great activities in the water. It takes you around the coastline and into the mangroves; it also includes some hiking on Bird's Island and snorkeling. We had the opportunity to climb Hell's Gate, and this is definitely a don't-miss activity even if you don't enjoy heights. When you're on the top of the gate, you can look out and realize that the next piece of land that you will reach is actually Africa which is over 4000 miles away. The crew is very friendly and willing to answer any questions that we had.
Lunch consisted of BBQ chicken, a green salad, pasta, and lots of juice. There was definitely plenty to eat. On the way back, we got to enjoy some great rum punch.
Thanks for the great time! :)

We took the Xtreme Circumnav Powerboat Tour during our stay at the
Verandah in November and it was incredible! The great facts about the
history of the island, the beaches, snorkeling at the Pillars of
Hercules, the Stingrays!! The tour staff was accommodating, kept the
tour moving at a good pace and had great tidbits to share about the
history of Antigua. And I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but
the lunch they served was DAMN GOOD! Especially the banana bread. Thanks
guys (and Nicola) for a wonderful experience!!

We booked this tour independently while traveling on the Queen Elizabeth.
The boat was not crowded and provided plenty of both sun and shade. The trip to Hell's gate was great and the climb across the top something that will be long remembered. Our Hosts were fantastic,they provided plenty of information about conservation and the ecosystem of Antigua. The did some snorkeling but didnt see many fish as on other islands.
The secluded beach at Bird island where we swam and had lunch was very nice. Snorkling lessons to those who were not that comfortable were provided.
This a wonderful tour with great photo stops and a variety of interesting locations and activities along the way plus very educational, plus swimming snorkleing and food. I would say this tour is a must do and would recommend it to all.

We did the Extreme Circumnavigation Powerboat tour during our stop in
Antigua. We had a great time and really enjoyed our experience. We
enjoyed multiple stops including StingRay city and some downtime in
Rendezvous Bay. Eli's staff of Ross, Trevor, and Serge took great care
of us and we felt in good hands the entire day. Would definitely
recommend and can't wait to go back.

We went on the Eco-Tour with J.D., Trevor & Nicola on December 16th.
We couldn't have had a more fun experience, from the wild boat ride
(waters were choppier than normal, but it was a lot of fun), to the
climb on Hell's Gate, to the hike on Bird Island, the delicious lunch,
& great conversations. We were still grinning about it for hours
after dinner. We hope to do more tours with Adventure Antigua on our
next trip to the island. GREAT value!
