The 15 Best Antigua Beach & Island-Hopping Trips

27 reviewed

Antigua claims a beach for every day of the year, and boat trips are how you reach the ones with nobody on them. Here are the beach and island-hopping days worth booking: which run out to Bird Island and Green Island, which stay on the calm north-west sand, whether lunch is on board, and what each costs.

1.Turtle Beach Power Snorkeling Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 521 reviews · from $132Our pick

Power snorkel by sea scooter at Freeman's Bay, Antigua. Guides spot turtles and a shipwreck, with included photo set and water.

“Our Sea Turtle Scooter adventure was great! The guides were patient, knowledgeable and took the time to make sure we were having a great time. They even took photos of the turtles, stingray, and all the sea life we came upon. Then they sent all of the photos to us, what a great gift to add to the trip. We brought a go pro and were able to mount it to the scooter, definitely recommend this!! The guides even swam down and took video for us! We may have even bought shirts to help advertise their business. Definitely recommend when you are visiting Antigua.”

We got to see a lot of the island to include the high forest area and three beautiful beaches. The length of the excursion was just right as it also gave us time to do some shopping and exploring on our own.”
