Scooter / snorkel turtle spotting experience - brilliant! - This was by far my favourite experience during our stay in Antigua. Our driver was friendly and informative. We ended up upgrading our experience from a regular swim / snorkel to the scooters / snorkel and were so pleased we did. Our guide gave a really good briefing to ensure we had the right equipment to match our abilities, ensured we were okay and were getting the best from our experience throughout. The tour included spotting some turtles, we saw a couple of rays, went around the wreck and along the rocks where there was an amazing diversity of corals and fish to see. Back at the beach, we didn't feel rushed to get changed and head off - there was a restroom and we were offered drinks including rum. The guide took photos of the tour which were shared with us via Dropbox to keep as soon as we got back to shore. Would definitely recommend.

Stellar snorkeling ! - Pick up from our resort was so convenient and the staff was so friendly. The 1 hour of snorkeling was action packed and we saw so much marine life! Family ages 11 and up, all did very well.

A Rare Positive Cancelation Story - We were very excited for this excursion. It was very easy to book. I received great information and exact details about pickup - including driver name and direct contact number - and everything that was needed/included before the excursion day. I felt secure and well taken care of. My calls/texts were quickly responded to and all questions answered. Unfortunately, our flight from Barbuda to Antigua was canceled along with all flights off the island- we found out it's a common occurrence, so travelers be aware! Sadly, there was no way for us to make it to our 2pm snorkeling adventure. I immediately called Nicole at Swimming with Turtles and she was kind and understanding, advised me to reach out to Viator to request a refund. Although, it was not 24 hour in advance Nicole gave Viator the ok to reimburse my excursion. Her understanding or the situation and Viator's great customer service made a bad and stressful situation more tolerable. I quickly received my money back. Although I can't speak on the excursion, I can say that the customer service team at Swimming with Turtles was GREAT! You are in good hand.

Best snorkeling ever!! - Swimming with the turtles adventure was spectacular. Our personal guide, Rex, was very friendly, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. This was the absolute BEST snorkeling adventure we have done, and we’ve done quite a bit of snorkeling in many places!! Rex and the whole crew were amazing from pick up to drop off! Thanks for a great adventure!

One of yhe best dnorkeling I've ever had. Great for semi active people over 50. - By far one the best snorkeling experiences I've had. The staff was very personal Bernie an Renick were patience, charming and enjoyable!! If you want a nice chill excursion but not a lot of hoop jumping this would be it. Walk out off the beach find the coves and areas where there's the turtles come back in.

Fun tour for kids! - The tour was amazing and the kids loved it. I will say that it’s not descriptive enough and while you snorkel from the shore- You go out in very deep water.

Great small group tour with photos included - This is a personal and small group number trip with good equipment, a proper briefing and a tour that ensures you see a lot without being rushed for time. We've also been sent a great file of photos. This trip is very different to cheaper trips where you are on a tourist conveyor belt. More than happy to recommend

Amazing snorkel experience - This is one of the best times you will have on the island of Antigua. The sea life is absolutely amazing and the people who run the show are incredible. My wife and I opted for snorkeling minus the scooters and we were not disappointed at all. We had the opportunity to swim with Bernie as our guide. Bernie could tell I was very hesitant at first (I am not a great swimmer, and deep waters freak me out... note that the water is not all that deep). Bernie was so patient and understanding. By the time the tour was done, I was swimming on my own, thanks to his patience and encouragement. As for the tour itself, we saw many sea turtles, an eagle ray, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, coral, a shipwreck, and tons of fish! We recommend this experience 150%! Thank you, Bernie!
