St. John's, Antigua Port Reviews

Antigua is beautiful. We did an Xtreme Circumnavigation Tour (booked privately, not through Celebrity). It was a great tour that circled the island on a fast boat. We snorkeled with the stingrays and at the Pillars of Hercules. We had a delicious lunch on a beach on a small island. We toured Nelson's Dockyard from the water. We had a stop at an idyllic sandy beach with rum punches! A great day!

Did Kayaking, snorkeling and beach excursion. My first time Kayaking was quite the experience. Luckily was a short journey. My niece had kayaked once before but it had been awhile so we had little trouble on way out but on way back we did much better. Snorkeling was great with exception of rough waters. Saw some beautiful fish. During boat ride back to kayaks, they served the best rum punch I'd every tasted!! Was different then the other rum punches I'd ever tried. They make it with lemonade, brown sugar among other ingredients. We were then taken to beautiful beach area and fed some wonderful jerk chicken with pasta, rice & gravy which as delicious.. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Took the Lobster and Beach tour. Would do this one again. Small group of about 18 had protected beach all to ourselves. 5 hours was a little long, Food was good. I was able to get in the water by myself due to gradual sloop of sand.

This was our first visit to Antigua. We took an excursion to the other side of the island to see where the British had reinforced the island to protect the sugar trade (Shirley Heights and Dow's Hill). Then we were driven down to Nelson's Dockyard. The guide was great! She had a lot to tell us about the island. This was a very pleasant excursion.

My favorite island - I would definitely go back! We had a fantastic time on the 4x4 off-roading adventure. It seemed expensive when we signed up, but we certainly got more out of it than any other adventure we went on so worth every penny. The guides were young, and friendly - very proud to show off their island. And after all of the bumpy, dusty, off-road fun, the tour included a beach stop for 30 minutes. My favorite beach of the cruise - I wish I could have spent more time there....so I'll just have to come back

My favourite. Found an island driver away from the main road (green taxi badge - driver 2020 was great. Have us a tour of the island and took us to jolly beach - was like paradise. Charged us $12 each and took money on return.

We walked around the city and hired a taxi to take us to the other side of the island. For $40 he spent nearly 3 hours with us and we treated him to lunch as well. We really enjoyed meeting this man and he was very proud of his home. The church in the center of the town will amaze you. It's rough on the outside, but wait until you step inside.

Antigua was very interesting. It was a little beat up with lots of abandoned houses and such. Putting everything like that aside, the beaches and the people are great. They love their island no matter what. Antigua was a very cool island. I’m not sure if i would like to visit again but if it was in a future itinerary then i wouldn’t complain. Antigua is a great 1x island!
