As soon as we got to the site, I knew this was going to be an adventure of a lifetime. It exceeded my expectations. The instructors were so helpful and made sure that the group stayed together. They took tons of pictures. I can’t wait to see them.

DO NOT trust the weather in Antigua! The afternoon of our excursion it was raining and my Fiance and I were determined to go despite that! When Imran (our amazing guide) arrived to pick us up at our hotel, he told us we'd be alone for the day because everyone else cancelled because of the rain. He also told us that even if there is rain, they will not cancel an excursion because the rain never lasts. When we arrived to Galleon beach, the rain was nowhere to be found. It was sunny skies with a lovely breeze. After getting all set up with gear and a tutorial on how to use the scooter, we were off to snorkel. Imran guided us to a shipwreck where we spotted a lion fish and tons of other amazing sea life. After exploring that area for some time, he guided us to The Pillars of Hercules. On our way there we spotted a big beautiful sea turtle (highlight of my life!!). Once we got to the reef we saw moon jelly fish and again, tons of sea life! The reef was so healthy and vibrant. Imran was snapping photos the entire time and even got some shots of us by the Pillars of Hercules. I could've spent the entire day snorkeling that reef. There was so much to see. When we got back Imran let us know that he'd send us the photos (for free!!!)--which we got the following day :) On our way to and from the excursion, Imran shared tidbits about Antigua and we honestly had such a lovely conversation with him. He even stopped at a little stand so we can try some fresh made Tamarind juice. He was amazing and the scooters were such a fun twist to snorkeling.

It was a great experience. We saw several turtles and fish. The owners of this tour are great as well and easy to work with. They communicate often the day before and day of the trip.

We were a family of 7 ranging in age from 9 to 65.
We were picked up and returned to our hotel by a very knowledgeable driver who went out of his way to point things out to us.
On arrival at the site we had a good safety briefing and instruction on how to us the power scooter. Life jackets were issued if requested along with other floatation aids, snorkels flippers and masks.
We used the scooters and followed a guide who pointed out turtles, puffer fish, a wreck and lots of other fish. We were encouraged to dive down for a closer look at the marine life.
We were taken to the Pillars of Hercules and photos were taken . Other photos were taken throughout the experience and included in the cost of the trip.
A very enjoyable and memorable experience.

Our guide was absolutely amazing. Not only did he put us on almost a dozen sea turtles, he also put us on stingrays. The most exciting part was getting to swim with an eagle ray. I would do this trip over and over.
