An Unforgettable Day on the Water! 🌊🐢☀️
Departure31768762078, October 2026
We had an amazing time on this trip celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday! 🎉 The crew was absolutely fantastic, so attentive and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The snorkeling was incredible, and we were lucky enough to see sea turtles, a nurse shark, barracudas, and so many beautiful, colorful fish! 🐢🐠
The lobster lunch was delicious, and the rum punch and banana bread were just as amazing. The views from the boat were absolutely beautiful, making the whole experience even more special. Everything was wonderful from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water! 🌊☀️

A great experience visiting lovely bays of Antigua around the island and being able to snorkel and see the wonderful marine life under the sea. Together with a fantastic lobster lunch my husnabd and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The crew were magnificent, friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Brilliant day out with the family! Highlight activity of our Antigua trip!
AltyTabs, August 2026
Went in low season - mid August 2026 - Booked for family with wife and 2 daughters (10 & 14).
Booked direct and process was simple and communication fast.
On the day of the trip the weather was not looking good with rain forecast. Went anyway (as Antiguan weather prediction is never accurate), enquired with operator about weather concerns but the tour went ahead.
First snorkel reef (Cades Reef) was called off due to high volume of moon jellyfish, so we skipped and went to the next snorkel location. Arriving there it literally started pouring down with rain and thunder and lightning!!!! No one wanted to get in the water. Communications between captain and operator and the trip was cancelled due to bad weather. Some people got refund, but we opted to try next day as we were leaving the island the day after.
Did the trip the next day... the weather was perfect... lots of sun... and a little cloud just to take the edge off the heat. There were just my family of four, plus a couple that were with us the day before... six people in total.
The tour was AMAZING!!!!!!!
Felt like we had a private charter (we got lucky, but very grateful to the operator for doing the tour and not just giving a refund... huge thank you to operator).
The two tour guides Quentin and Ethan were brilliant. Actually felt like you got to know a couple of locals, and they actually cared that you had an amazing time... which we all did... thanks guys!!!
Cades reef has a lot of dead coral, but you can tell it is regenerating. It is a large reef and they took us to a section they had not snorkelled before due to the jellyfish in the normal area. We saw some great schools of small and mid size fish. Saw a couple of 'great barracudas' too which was nice... pretty large predator fish!!! Quentin was the tour guide on the snorkel and he worked really hard looking for nice areas to see.
We then had the lobster lunch was was really delicious! Fresh grilled lobster, potato salad, pasta salad and salad. As much rum punch or juice drinks as you needed and the guys always asked if we needed anything.
We then went on to the second snorkel which was unguided. It was along a shore reef and very easy to navigate. Another boat said they had seen turtles just an hour before, but not our luck on this day. However... we saw an absolutely massive puffer fish... and the cherry on the cake... swimming 3 meters above a stunning Eagle Ray gliding below us for about 2 minutes with my younger daughter... it was an amazing experience for both of us and a lifelong memory right there... beautiful!!!
We finished the day having a quick swim on a picture postcard beach with white sand and crystal clear water, then headed back to the dock.
All in all an amazing trip. One of those trips you could easily do again and again as there is always something different to see and the tour guides are first class... as is the lobster lunch. Great value for money and most definitely recommend.
Response from the operator · Creole A Wow...this review is soo detailed and we really appreciate you.
The weather came as a surprise that day and we appreciate you joined us the next day.
Creole Tours is a small local business and we do care about all of our guests.
Let us know when you back to Antigua so we can welcome you back onboard.
Thank you again for this beautiful review.

Great Experience
nikig788, August 2026
It started to rain off and on after our first snorkeling spot at the reef, but that didn’t stop us from having a wonderful time! The food was delicious, and everyone was so laid back and kind. Didn’t feel rushed at all, and had a relaxing day of adventures.
Response from the operator · Creole A We are very pleased that you had a wonderful time in spite of the liquid sunshine 😉
Thank you for joining us and we are looking forward to maybe welcome you back onboard.
