Terrific day, the lads a fountain of knowledge about the island, and of course, knows all the best spots to snorkel, ensuring you see abundance of local underwater life!! The good thing about Johnny,is he’s totally independent, hence he’s not tied into
Taking you to certain attractions etc, like larger companies tend to be. All in all fantastic value, a great day, with a great bloke!!<div class="row"></div>

I had this last minute booking with Johnny on TripAdvisor and he is so very accommodating and replying to my questions timely. He's very knowledgeable about the island and show me all the interesting attractions here in Antigua. I especially love the snorkeling part that Johnny showed me the giant turtles, stingray and shipwrecks at Galleon beach. highly recommended!<div class="row"></div>

Booked an amazing trip. Johnny is very knowledgable about the local history.
Went to Nelsons Dockyard and Shirley’s Heights where views are amazing.
Drove us through the rain forest and then we went snorkelling and saw so many turtles and 2 shipwrecks. Can personalise trip as we wanted to go to the donkey sanctuary.
Highly recommend<div class="row"></div>

We had the most amazing time, Jonny was the perfect tour guide and even went out of his way to take us to a souvenir shop which is by far one of the cheapest on the island. He knew the best spots to see the turtles and where to see the shipwrecks. We could go on forever listing the highlights! He keeps all his tours private and is very knowledgeable -he can answer any question you may have about the island and it’s history. It is definitely a tour not to miss and far superior then going with commercial companies.<div class="row"></div>
Johnny offers an excellent service, collecting my wife and I from our hotel at Keyonna Beach Resort.
On the scenic drive to the first stop at Shirley Heights, commentary was provided on the local history. Johnny was very knowedgeable and able to answer my questions about the wildlife and plants along the way.
At the next stop, English Harbour, we visited a gunpowder store and sea defences. Again, Johnny provided insightful commentary and was pleased to answer questions!
The final stop was where we went snorkeling. Excellent instructions were provided on how to best use the equipment and we were both very comfortable by the end of the trip. We saw shipwrecks and tracked down turtle - initially elusive, Johnny persevered and his hawk eyes spotted a little green turtle that we swam along side. This is in addition to an abundance of other tropical fish along the way!
Overall, this is a must-do tour for your trip to Antigua. Johnny is a down to earth guy who provides sincere and interesting commentary on the culture and history of Antigua. He is very passionate about nature and this island, which comes through on his tour. It is unbelievable value for money and he is happy to oblige requests such as stopping off to buy souvenirs & rum, or buying local fruit.
In our case we were fortunate enough to be able to book Johnny with only a couple of days notice, however if you can, I would suggest booking in good time to avoid disappointment. The easiest thing to do is send him a WhatsApp and he'll be in touch.<div class="row"></div>
