Cades Reef Tours and Tickets

Came in on a royalcarribbean cruise and this was perfect...you walk off the pier and keep to the right and the catamaran dock was really close (look for brown benches). The boat was great, the ride around the island was beautiful...but long...about an hour. Boat does have a bathroom. The reef itself as others mentioned is not in the best condition. We had 2 little kids and we struggled a bit but saw some colorful fish. Water was about 12' deep where we were at, and very clear. Spent about 40mins there and then on the way back stopped at a nice beach for another 40mins or so. Tons of shells and found a hermit crab. Kids really enjoyed this trip. Food and drinks were ok, nothing special. I'd suggest plenty of sunscreen, towels, and water and snacks for kids. Maybe even a card game or something to keep them occupied. The catamaran does have the cool front netting you can lay out on, and has a good amount of shaded area in the back if needed. Also, snorkels were obviously included but if you have kids I'd suggest buying the full face mask ones on Amazon and bringing them with you.

Great tour of parts of Antigua you never get to see in other ways. Crew was friendly and attentive. Bring plenty of sun block! The food was delicious and the drinks were strong! Cades reef was awesome.

Nice boat ride, good snorkel, and 'open bar' on back, Our return was dominated by some very drunk women-one who passed out on the beach. Crew was awesome...

My adult daughter and I took this trip after reading other great reviews. I can’t say enough about the crew and the experience. They were so fun, entertaining and overall made us feel so safe as well. The rum punch and open bar made for a lot of laughs and dancing. We had a blast!!!! Would highly recommend. The Captain was incredible and fun and knowledgable!!!

Absolutely loved this! An entire day enjoying the beautiful seas of Antigua and spotting neighboring islands. If you don’t want to snorkel, you still get to free swim and explore by the boat. Prepare for the rum to rum and a nice little beach hang out after you’re done snorkeling. 10/10

Great trip to see bule sea and sky. Lunch and bar are comfortable. We want to enjoy one more beach. Because return time to the port was earlier.

Had a great time! Our captain and tour guides were very informative and very accommodating! The ship was lively and very entertaining! Food was delicious! Great group excursion.

This was the best tour!!! The crew of 4 gentlemen were nice and respectful. Ishmael was a great guide pointing out landmarks along the way The food was excellent. 10/10 recommend for a fun filled day on the water.
