Very accurate description on the site, boats were pacy but not jet ski speed. Great ride out to the reef and some amazing snorkelling - so many different types of fish. Bring a hat with a either a string or that’s tight fitting , similarly with sunglasses. A great combo of boat and snorkelling.

My husband and I visited Antigua for our 25th anniversary in April and booked the Antiqua Reef Riders Snorkeling Tour. It was an incredible experience! Tigger, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, energetic and entertaining. The boats were safe and easy to operate. The water was warm and very clear which made snorkeling even more enjoyable. Tigger found a very large puffer fish hiding out amongst the rocks which he prodded out into the open for us to view. Tigger allowed us to take our time and go at our own pace so that we could explore the reef. I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Antigua! Ask for Tigger!

We had the best time. Tigger is enthusiastic and informative. I am a 50 plus year old woman who has never snorkeled and he made me feel safe and well looked after. I highly recommend this trip to all! Thanks Tigger!
