The Pillars of Hercules is one of the snorkeling spots Eli Fuller's Xtreme Circumnav tour visits, along with a stop at Stingray City, Green Island (where you have a wonderful lunch), and a beach stop at Rendezvous Bay. http://www.adventurantigua.com is the tour's website, and

and

are youtube videos from Xtreme.

thanks, we r thinking of a more customized tour with the colums included, heard they offer a ferry to the columns, wandering what times and price? not the eli tour but just regular water ferrys.

the tour mentioned is the only one on the island which stops at Pillars and the pillars isn't an underwater thing. IT's just some rocks that have been weathered in an interesting way. Check: http://www.flickr.com/photos/antiguan_life/2884507437/in/set-72157594205637072/

 

That's them!
