WE TOUR NELSON'S DOCKYARD, SHIRLEYS HEIGHTS & SNORKEL This is a guided tour by a local spearfisherman. Taking in all the sights and sounds of the island on land and in the sea, with a very high chance of snorkeling with sea turtles, and a definite chance of seeing two shipwrecks! The snorkel is in mostly shallow water, off of a beach. THIS IS NOT A BOAT TOUR. Your snorkel guide enjoys spearfishing and can show you things while snorkeling you never even knew were below you! This is a private tour, meaning you will be the only travelers. It is roughly 4 hours long. There is cold water in the vehicle. Lunch is not provided on the tour. You will also have videos of you snorkeling around the shipwrecks and turtles emailed to you after the tour. If you don't wish to snorkel or if not all travelers would like to participate in the snorkel that is okay as well. Admission to national parks not included, it is 15$USD for two tickets, meaning you only pay one time.

WE TOUR Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley's Heights, finally we will be snorkeling for about an hour around a couple shipwrecks and looking for turtles, we normally always encounter them, but it depends on the visibility that day. I would say 85-90% of guests encounter turtles. Snorkeling is done in a protected harbor meaning the water is very calm and relatively shallow and visibility is normally good. Even beginners or first time snorkelers can do this. THIS IS NOT A BOAT TOUR! Admission to the national parks is 15$USD which gives you two tickets one for Nelson's Dockyard and one for Shirley's Heights. So to clarify you only pay one time for both parks! Tour Duration time is approximate, and depends on where you are staying and how far drive time is.

Johnny took us around the island and took us to Shirley Heights, the dock yards, which were interesting. Then we went onto snorkel. It was very informative, instructional. The water was warm & we swam out to a shipwreck & saw lots of fish. We will hook up with Johnny again. He was great!

Very poor day for snorkeling - water was VERY cloudy with low visibility. John, however, was delightful & accommodating with plenty of knowledge of the history & culture of Antigua. He could not create clear water but did everything else to make us comfortable. We did not find the effort to swim out difficult in the least.

A very fun experience seeing the island then many sea turtles when snorkeling. We were a group of 6 and Johnny’s vehicle did not fit us very well. It would be perfect for 4 or 2. Also, there is a lot swimming to snorkel, so when he says there is physical exertion he means it, but we were all in decent shape and loved the activity.

This is a fabulous small group experience. Between 2-6 people. Johnny is very knowledgeable loves the water, loves the island. He took us to the Nelson Dockyards and other historic sites. He was able to take us through areas that helped us avoid the crowds from bus loads of tourist. Our final stop, which was galleon Bay was spectacular. He snorkeled out with my husband, and there are a couple of shipwrecks there plus they saw sea turtles and other fish and Johnny took videos which he uploaded and emailed to us at no extra cost. I would highly recommend this tour if you want personal service with a delightful young man.

We loved the experience and Johnny was an awesome host. This is a private tour! He was very knowledgeable about the island. Nelson’s Dockyards and Shirley Heights are two sites that showcase the heritage and beauty of the island. If you haven’t heard of “World’s Toughesr Row” - look it up! It’s rowing across the Atlantic from Canary Islands to Antigua. We were fortunate to see one of the last three boats arrive. Amazing! It was our first time snorkeling from the shore and we loved the experience. We saw a stingray swim right beneath us, and the turtles were actively swimming around us and going up for air. It was clear Johnny knew the hotspots that Galleon beach had to offer. He took a number of videos that he shared with us after our tour. Overall, a great experience! Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend enough. Pickup instructions were really cleatlr. Johnny was extremely knowledgeable about the history of antigua. Amazing snorkelling experience, we saw an octopus, stingray, eagle ray and a beautiful turtle. Good quality snorkelling equipment. The water is quite calm but you do spend a lot of time in it so would recommend being a decent swimmer. Absolutely magical experience

Wow Johnny, thank you for an amazing afternoon. Wonderful, chilled experience, great local knowledge, fabulous views and 5 turtles! Including a very old and large lady turtle, 100 years plus! Such a privilege to swim with her. The videos you include are just the icing on the cake. You made our honeymoon! Highly recommend for an authentic, relaxed, personal experience, one that we will always remember. All the best for the future. Thank you 🤗xx

We had a great morning with Johnny. Prompt pick up at our hotel. He was very friendly and keen to tailor the trip to what we wanted. Went to Shirley Heights and Nelsons Dockyard and he told us some interesting facts about the places. Then to Galleon bay for snorkelling. Well prepared and good kit. He was a great guide. Saw some great stuff - 2 shipwrecks, shoal of squid and a turtle. Best bit was the massive spotted eagle ray tho!! Excellent trip. He sent video he’d taken at the end of the trip.

David, Dino & Mark provided us with an excellent boat trip to Hell's Gate, along with snorkelling to see Turtles and Stingrays in their natural environment. The lunch on board was great and later after all the activities rum punch and banana bread was provided. The whole trip was fun, informative and a huge amount of consideration was given to our Health & Safety . The only thing we would add is that you are on a boat so be prepared to get wet!

As a private tour guide Johnny is a great personality. Fun and knowledgeable. Visibility was poor for the snorkel portion of this trip but he did a great job making the best of it for us. Even spotted a sea turtle.
