Belfast Castle Posted October 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2007 ok maybe this is a dumb question - but does everyone who goes on this tour go snorkelling? or is it ok to sit this part out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abberboo Posted October 29, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I am considering this excursion in Nov with Eli. I have read multiple posts of people saying some people stay and relax on the boat and they have just as good of a time. I plan to not snorkel the entire time either.

Miss Vickie Posted October 30, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Every time we've been on one of Eli's tours (5 times now, on the 2 different tours), there have been folks who have chosen to stay on the boat at one time or another, or even for the whole day, with the exception of lunch, and had a great time never-the-less. In the fact, on Xtreme, I chose to skip the snorkeling and stay on board and talk to Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PaddleAddict Posted October 30, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2007 The beauty of this tour is you can do whatever you want! Stay on the ship, go swimming when everyone hikes up Bird Island, hike up the ISland, walk around Hell's Gate or snorkel or swim or just stay on the boat. Anything you want. The boat is not crowded at all and the tour guides are very friendly. I LOVED this excursion! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't do anything except sit and relax when we went on the Eco Tour. I had a great time. Got some nice pics of the group walking along Hells Gate etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewell08080 Posted November 9, 2007 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2007 you may sit it out on the boat. I am not a snorkler, and 2 other people on the boat weren't. it is a nice eco tour of Antigua. The guides were very knowledeable and proud of their island. a few times they spotted some garbage in the water like a paper cup or potato chip bag and they went over to it and reeled it in. they explained the island area and how the turtles come onto the beach to lay eggs and leave again, and how scientists are tracking their migratory paths, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulchik Posted November 17, 2007 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Can we do this tour with 2 year old? Anybody done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniesband Posted November 18, 2007 #8 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Can we do this tour with 2 year old? Anybody done that? Neither of Eli's tours is geared toward toddlers. Probably not the best choice, unless there will be someone to stay on board the boat your child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rural11 Posted November 19, 2007 #9 Share Posted November 19, 2007 We were on the Eco Tour on Nov. 9 and had a great time. Our guides were Tony, One Love, and Val. They took great care of us and everyone had fun. When someone that was smoking at the back of the boat threw his butt overboard, he got a lecture from the crew. We had fun swimming, snorkeling, exploring, eating lunch, etc. My wife did not feel like getting in the water the last stop we made, so she stayed on the boat and had a great time talking with the crew. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOgal1009 Posted November 24, 2007 #13 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I sent an email friday morning to see if there was availability for the eco tour on the day of our cruise but have not gotten a response back yet.
