WE TOUR NELSON'S DOCKYARD, SHIRLEYS HEIGHTS & SNORKEL This is a guided tour by a local spearfisherman. Taking in all the sights and sounds of the island on land and in the sea, with a very high chance of snorkeling with sea turtles, and a definite chance of seeing two shipwrecks! The snorkel is in mostly shallow water, off of a beach. THIS IS NOT A BOAT TOUR. Your snorkel guide enjoys spearfishing and can show you things while snorkeling you never even knew were below you! This is a private tour, meaning you will be the only travelers. It is roughly 4 hours long. There is cold water in the vehicle. Lunch is not provided on the tour. You will also have videos of you snorkeling around the shipwrecks and turtles emailed to you after the tour. If you don't wish to snorkel or if not all travelers would like to participate in the snorkel that is okay as well. Admission to national parks not included, it is 15$USD for two tickets, meaning you only pay one time.

Johnny gives a wonderful tour - we enjoyed every minute. He really hoped we see turtles when snorkling and while we had no luck with that, we enjoyed our time and seeing the shipwrecks and beautiful fish. Johnny is a terrific conversationalist and we felt very comfortable. He is informative and knows Antigua well. Such a fun day!

Johnny did an amazing job showing us the Island and taking us to the best snorkeling spot in English Harbor. We say stingray, octopus and a couple of majestic turtles. He got some great videos of us. The shipwreck is cool too. Having a personal tour is much better than a cruise excursion with a bunch of strangers. Worth the price of admission.

Johnny was amazing from the off…we were late arriving for the pick up but Johnny waited none the less ☺️. We had a great afternoon learning about the island and seeing some of sights at Nelson’s Dockyard and Shirley Heights. Johnny was very friendly and knowledgeable. Let us have some time to explore ourselves as well which definitely struck the right balance for us. Finished off with the best part of snorkelling in galleon bay seeing a shipwreck, loads of fish and the best bit was seeing an Eagle Ray and Turtle. Would absolutely recommend doing this and bonus being it’s just you so get that personal touch not being part of a bigger group. Thank you so much!
