About this tour

Take in the sights and sounds of Antigua by land and sea with this guided tour led by a local spearfisherman. Get the chance to snorkel with sea turtles and explore shipwrecks at Galleon Beach. This tour can accommodate all travelers, even those who do not want to snorkel. Other stops include Shirley Heights and Nelson’s Dockyard.

Highlights

  • WE TOUR Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley's Heights, finally we will be snorkeling for about an hour around a couple shipwrecks and looking for turtles, we normally always encounter them, but it depends on the visibility that day. I would say 85-90% of guests encounter turtles. If you are a decent swimmer we will also check out The Pillars Of Hercules. THIS IS NOT A BOAT TOUR! Admission to the national parks is 15$USD which gives you two tickets one for Nelson's Dockyard and one for Shirley's Heights. So to clarify you only pay one time for both parks!

Included/Excluded

  • Use of Snorkelling equipment
  • Air-conditioned vehicle
  • $15.00US admission covers both Shirley's Heights, and Nelson's Dockyard

Johnny met us just outside the cruise ship port gate and we jumped in his car to head to Nelson's Dockyard then Shirley Heights. Along the way, we were able to learn about the island and him. He's very engaging and pleasant. We then headed to Galleon Bay where you snorkel (equipment provided) over a sunken ship. In the sea grass he looks for turtles, rays, etc. We were amazed that he found an octopus, went down & brought it to us to hold. We've snorkeled dozens of other places and have never done this. I don't think it happens frequently, but you never know. We also saw 2 rays. Advice, use the restroom at the first 2 stops or be prepared to go in the bay. You should wear your swimsuit (otherwise change behind a bush). There were only a handful of other people in the bay which made this getaway from a few thousand on the cruise ship extra special. Try and find his website (expand TripAdvisor info to find) so he can profit a bit more. Don't hesitate to book. We confirmed with each other at time of booking then again about a week before via What app. BTW in my pictures, the view from Shirley Heights is the bay you'll snorkel in.

Our family of four had a great day with Johnny on the snorkeling tour! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Antigua and the stops at Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley's Heights were great. The highlight of the day was snorkeling at Galleon Beach. We saw many different kinds of fish at the shipwrecks there, including a barracuda, jellyfish, and two huge sea turtles. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the island!

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!!
