“Fabulous Adventure Antigua Eco Tour”

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!
