Excursion Antigua full day tour in power cat tour at Falmouth

You will be met at the ship by our Tour Guide and escorted a few yards to your awaiting 45 feet power cat, designed to get into shallow waters and tight reefs accompanied with expert, courteous and knowledgeable crew.

Visit fo Stingray City, Swim and snorkeling with Stingrays

During the tour guests have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. Before lunch, a visit to Stingray City where you can enjoy the company of their monkeys and parrots, and the hospitality of the experienced Stingray City's Guides. A short speedboat ride will whisk you to a shallow pool with a white sand bottom surrounded by beautiful coral reef in the Caribbean Sea. You will be able to stand up or swim with the stingrays, who will greet you with the familiarity of an old friend.

After feeding, snorkeling and taking some pictures with your new friends, you will return to the land base where you can rinse off the seawater under the bright Caribbean sun, with a shower on a coconut tree.

Enjoy complimentary punch drink, browse in the gift shop and just share this unique experience with your fellow guests before you return to the boat.

Great Bird Island, free time, Lunch on the boat

Then it is on to Great Bird Island to drop anchor and have a relaxing swim for an hour or so. For those who wish to enjoy spectacular views of the North Sound and the north coast of Antigua, we recommend taking the easy nature trail from the beach at Great Bird Island, up to the summit, and if you really want to get off the "beaten track" there will also be a chance to explore a cave.

Local fruit juices like Passion, Tamarind, Guava, and Lime are available throughout the day and the delicious lunch is served on the boat while it is moored in one of the breathtaking bays of Bird Island. We serve a massive pasta salad made with lots of garlic, parmesan cheese, and olive oil, BBQ chicken, a huge mixed salad, plantain (a type of banana you have to cook), and later banana cake for dessert.

Nelson's Dockyard visit, Snorkeling at Pillars of Hercules, Swimming stop at the Rendezvous bay

We then power around close to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Nelson's Dockyard where your Guide will fill you with stories and historical titbits.

We will stop at historical and unique Pillars of Hercules to snorkel. Snorkeling lessons will be given for those who have not snorkeled before or who want a refresher. All equipment is supplied and crew members will accompany the fantastic guided snorkeling tour.

You will have an opportunity then to take a further swim at the deserted and wonderful Rendezvous Bay for 45 minutes or so before following the Antigua coastline full of interesting beaches and wonderful homes and hotels.

As the tour draws to a close and the boat heads home into the setting sun, our special recipe rum punch is presented to make a perfect end to a perfect day.
