Things to do in  Antigua and Barbuda

Sean was an outstanding tour and host. We loved seeing Shirley Heights and English Harbor. Our favorite part was learning from Sean all about living in Antigua.

It was a really enjoyable trip with enough time at the stopping places to decide what to do. The crew were very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. All in all a great way to see the north coast of Antigua and enjoy the clear warm waters.

What an amazing trip we had! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the island and he took us and another couple to all the sites as specified on the tour description. The tour did not feel rushed and the tour guide took us up close to see the new stadium, which wasn’t on the list. What really topped this trip off was tasting delicious local fruits - mango, pineapple and baby bananas and a delicious lunch by the harbour. This tour was reasonably priced, especially as our hotel charge quite a bit more for a similar tour for half the amount of time. All in all, definitely recommend for those who wish to have a ‘taste’ of Antigua.

This was such an amazing trip. It’s a small group that goes out and you really feel like they take the time to show you everything. They spent the time in the beginning to make sure everyone felt safe before going out and how to use all the equipment. Let me tell you those little jets they give you make you never want to snorkel with out them again. We saw so many turtles and tropical fish. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to see the natural beautiful of Antigua.

What an awesome experience! So, my boyfriend and I decided on single jet skis. I was a little nervous at first as this was only my second time jet skiing, and yet Anthony, tour guide, made us feel super comfortable and relaxed. He was very knowledgeable about the island and educated us on the island's history. Antigua is definitely a sight to see, with lush mountain landscaping and beautiful beaches. My boyfriend even saw some dolphins 🐬! This adventure was definitely worth it and a very nice way to get to see the many beaches and other beachfront resorts.

Amazing! Damon and Noella were fantastic! When I realised it was only an hour or so of snorkelling I was a little disappointed but Damon and Noella are so organised and had so much knowledge it was the perfect amount of time. Anything longer would be far too tiring. We saw turtles, the ship wreak and so many beautiful fish. By far the best experience we done in Antigua. We aren’t experienced at snorkelling and were a little nervous but really wanted to see the turtles, so we went for it and so happy we did. Can’t recommend enough! It’s a must do!

I booked thinking it would be a group tour and it was only me, I felt like a VIP! The driver / guide, known on the island as 'The Crabman' was really good, taking me to the places that I wanted to visit (the Cricket stadium) and telling me lots about life on Antigua. After crossing the island through villages and the 'bush', I spent some at Shirley Heights and Nelson's Dockyard and then we went along the Fig Tree Drive route. The forests are a real contrast to the island's beaches. We then stopped for a break on Darkwood Beach, an absolute delight. Think of the picture postcard image of white sand and turquoise sea and you are thinking of this beach. There was a local place to eat if you wanted to but soaking up the sun and bathing in the sea was just wonderful. We then went through the capital, St Johns, and the tour was over. It was a great way to see the island, get an insight into island life and work out where you might want to return to.

The Adventure Antigua team were fantastic, friendly and really knowledgeable about the reefs, animals and the island. The tour was fantastic and lived up to expectations. We got to see some turtles and snorkelled with an Eagle ray. The reefs are looking a little sad but the guides told us about projects and initiatives going on that are to try and help restore the environment. We would thoroughly recommend the trip - the rum punch and banana bread were also great highlights!!

Quick, efficient and well organized company. The cars were nice with great air conditioning. All the staff were wonderful and welcoming, ask them for recommendations on what to do while in Antigua!

A good tour in the difficult Covid times. The good news was there wasn’t any queues or many people around. The bad news was lots of attractions were closed. Marvin our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. A good day out to get to know and understand Antigua

Wonderful Antigua outdoor adventure tour!! A nice assortment of outdoor activities expertly led by Giles and Mark. We had a lovely bike ride, a kayak paddle in a cove, followed by time at a lovely beach and a walk to a fort. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a few hours of outdoor activity while visiting the island of Antigua.

We had a great time with Leona! She was very knowledgable and personable. She made sure we saw the sights we wanted to see while getting a taste on Antiguan culture!

We were lucky to get Gregory as our guide and we hit it off right away. It was a comprehensive tour complemented by a few stops for Wadadli and many laughs. Thank you Gregory, it couldn't have been better. Loved English Harbor. The Antiguan people are very kind.

You get to see alot of the island from this tour. Most of the history of Antigua is explained in detail by your guide, who was great. Quote of the day " Easy does it mon" as you were traveling down dirt and mud roads.

The view of the island from the water is something I will always remember. Absolutely breathtaking scenery and so much fun! Didn’t spend as much time at Cade’s Bay as I thought. The trip turned out to be 2 hours instead of 3 but we were able to see quite a bit a the reef. I’ve snorkeled all over the Carribean and was able to see things I’m Antigua I’ve never seen before! Great trip and amazing staff. So caring. They provided water, a safe place for my belongings and one of my guides even lent me his hat to keep the sun out of my eyes and baby shampoo ton keep my mask clear. Highly recommend Reef Riders! Definitely one of the highlights of my entire vacation.

If we could give Johnny 10 stars we definitely would! This was by far one of the best excursions we have ever been on and our favorite day in Antigua so far! He took us all over the island, LITERALLY! We visited Shirley Heights, Devil's Bridge, Nelson's Dockyard and several other places as well. He drove us through the jungle and was extremely knowledgeable and was genuinely proud to be an Antiguan local! The absolute best part of the day was when we stopped at Galleon Beach and snorkeled all around the cove and saw a few shipwrecks and the Pillars of Hercules! And last but not least, we swam with a green sea turtle! I am the biggest turtle lover you will ever met and this was the best experience of my life, hands down! Turtles are such unique and majestic creatures and it can be very rare to find them so we couldn't be more thrilled considering it is never a guarantee to see them but Johnny definitely had an eye for spotting them!

The tour was great from start to finish. The ride across the island was very enjoyable. The driver "Flavor" was very informative. He narrated the entire drive, giving us info about the geography and culture of the island. The kayaking was great and we snorkled at an amazing reef. All of the guides are great! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Antigua outside of the "resort".

My husband and I decided to book this tour to visit Antigua’s capitol with a guide who could tell us about the city’s history. We got the chance to spend the morning with Gregory who was an absolute delight to tour with. We got the chance to visit the market, as well as some of the other sights. Gregory was funny and very descriptive (which was perfect for my husband who is blind). It was definitely time well spent. Thanks again, Gregory, for a great outing.

Hands down, you should not miss this tour. Picture speeding across dirt roads carved through the beautifully green hills of Antigua, racing through the jungle like an off-road Indiana Jones, and splashing through pools of water. All that while you have the biggest smile painted across your face. It's an absolute ride of adrenaline set against the untapped beauty of the island. However, you must know exactly what you're getting into, as this tour is not for everyone. If you want to break up the relaxing, and sometimes boring, nature of resort life, then this is the tour for you. You will not be disappointed. In fact, my wife and I had such a great time that we booked a second tour as soon as we got back to our room. Be advised, you will get wet and muddy, which is awesome, if you're into that. The fun will only grow with each pool of water that you splash through, and your muddy clothes are a badge of honor when comparing to your partner's at the end of the ride. We recommend wearing clothes that you do not really care about, because they will get soaked. I wore men's bathing suit shorts and a ratty t-shirt. Though the mud will completely wash out once you do a load of laundry. You should also wear some kind of face covering, such as a bandanna. That will help keep the mud out of your mouth. Also, be sure to wear some sort of eyewear, sunglasses at the minimum. Joel and Denzel are both amazing. They both really help to make this tour standout even more. We felt completely safe during the entire tour following Denzel on the carefully mapped out trail. He even took us to a new area on our second tour, which was cool to see another side of Antigua. All in all, not only is this tour a pulse-driving ride, but it will also show you areas of Antigua that aren't easily accessed any other way. In fact, about half way through, you end up on a secluded beach with nobody else around. We had an amazing time, and we cannot recommend taking this tour enough. Do it, you will have a blast!

The bike-kayak-hike combination was the perfect activity for a day in Antigua! We recommend it highly for cruisers in port for a day, looking for a mild to moderate activity to feel human again after indulging in cruise ship excesses!!! The equipment bicycles/helmets and kayaks/paddles were all in excellent condition and our tour guide/owners Giles & Mark were astounding in their attention to service and friendliness throughout the day. Nothing on the tour was too rough for anybody in average physical condition. The ride was flat for easy pedaling, the kayak was on glass calm water through the mangroves, and the hike was more or less a casual stroll through historic fort remains from British colony times. Giles was knowledgeable on the history of this beautiful island from colonization through modern times. And as a nice surprise, we had about an hour of beach time before riding back to port. So with a little swimming, it may actually count as 4 activities! So, if you are in Antigua for the day, look these guys up! You will be glad you did... We were! Donna & Pete.
