cruisingforsix Posted October 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2010 We did a lobster lunch snorkel tour that was wonderful we went to a couple of snorkel spots then bird island for lunch(beautiful) and then to starfish garden for more snorkeling. it's a wonderful tour and Glen the owner and Mario are great. it is a little more expensive than some tours but it is a daytour and you get a marvelous lobster lunch. well worth the price.

CRUISERTN Posted October 3, 2010 Author #3 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Cruisingforsix - is the snorkeling at the stops you mentioned from the beach or from the boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middleager Posted October 5, 2010 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Often snorkeling from the beach is not as good. Beach = sand, and sand usually means silt and not good visibility, and not as much coral growth. Usually snorkeling is better from the boat, a bit of way out. That said, the better diving/snorkeling, with better coral growth and fish, is at the south end of Antigua. Last time we had 6 people, and hired a van taxi to take us to the English Harbour, and did boat snorkeling/diving from there. After that we continued with the van tour of the island before returning to ship. Most of the other beach/snorkeling locations close to the port, do not offer as good snorkeling. But the snorkeling can still be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted October 6, 2010 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2010 It's a no brainer. Eli's Eco Tour is the best snorkel trip in the Caribbean, bar none: http://www.adventureantigua.com/tour.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
