Excursion Reef riders adventure tour at Falmouth

Explore the spectacular undersea beauty of Antigua in a fun-filled and exciting new way during this invigorating, half-day excursion via Reef Rider.

Antiguan Countryside Drive and Jolly Harbour

Depart the pier for the 50-minute drive along the West Coast en route to Jolly Harbour. Travel through Antigua's lush countryside, which is rich in the daily West Indian life, local villages and old churches that exemplify the island's West Indian culture. Upon arrival at Jolly Harbour, receive your safety and tour instructions, and acquaint yourself with the operation of your inflatable, two-seat, Reef Rider boat.

West Coast, Bays and Reefs, and Cades Reef Swimming and Snorkelling

Next, begin your adventure with a ride along the west coast, in-and-out of bays and around reefs before arriving at Cades Reef, Antigua's premier snorkelling locale. After receiving your snorkelling instructions, don your mask, fins and buoyancy belt, then begin your guided snorkelling session. Along the way, explore a wide array of colourful coral, parrotfish, damselfish, grunts, and angelfish, among many others. Alternatively, you may simply opt to take a swim or relax in this idyllic location on board the boat. Either way, the time is yours to enjoy the splendid scenery.

Southwest Antiguan Coastline and Beaches, and Jolly Harbour

Following your visit to Cades Reef, begin the return ride to Jolly Harbour. En route, see dozens of beaches and the southwest coastline as you ride the crystal-clear Caribbean waters and soak up the warm, tropical sun. Upon arrival at Jolly Harbour, re-board your mini-bus and commence the 50-minute drive back to the pier.
