It was a wild ride but we felt safe and in good hands. Beautiful views and we were informed about we were looking at the whole time. Desmond and Luca and Kimber were wonderful hosts and so knowledgeable! Thank you to them for helping me in and out of the boat so patient and caring! I can’t praise them enough! We had a great time. I’m so glad we went.

The trip was great. It has been the highlight of our vacation so far. We got it all in one trip which put other excursion activities on the done list.

A fun-filled day of boating, snorkeling, swimming with stingrays and learning so much about the history of Antigua! Our guides were so friendly and fun!

My daughter and I had a great time on this excursion. We were both pleasantly surprised by the number of stops and how well timed each stop was (none too close together or too far apart). It was a nice way to experience some different beaches of Antigua and also learn more about the history of the island. Our captain and guide were really lovely and kept us all engaged and informed throughout the entire day. The lunch was delicious and the rum punch at the last stop was a nice way to end the tour!
One small suggestion - because we were the last pickup of the morning, my daughter and I had the very last two seats in the last row, port/left side. This particular location is subject to full sun the entire time as well as the most exposure to the splashing and waves. This is tolerable for most of the time especially since you are in motion (giving a nice breeze) but 7 straight hours of that gets really old. It would be nice if they requested that people swap seats a few times through the ride so everyone has equal time in different parts of the boat.

It was amazing! But a friendly reminder- if you get any sea sickness take meds as the one snorkel spot - Atlantic side- is rough. The snorkeling was awesome- saw Rays , beautiful fish including Baracuda. Wonderful lunch and swims on beaches. Our guides were perfect. Do prepare to get wet in the boat- sooooo cool and fast. I was the only one to get sick, but I still swam in the rocky waters, enjoyed my lunch, swims and rum punch. Well worth the cost! Our hosts were Captain Brendon, Lesley and Kembo.

This is by far the best tour for your money on the island. The Crew was very polite, knowledgeable about all the landmarks and historical points of interest. We saw so much, snorkeling was amazing, lunch on a secluded beautiful beach was delicious, and the rum punch on the small serene beach at the end was perfect! Bravo

We had a great experience on this tour we loved the crew, and all the experiences we had. The only negative we had about the trip was the ladder getting in and off the boat from the water. Some fell while getting up, most if not all really struggled getting up and down the ladder. Overall great experience, loved stingray city, lunch, and the snorkeling, unfortunately we didn’t get to snorkel the Pillars of Hercules due to the water conditions, but the secondary was still good.
Rachel_R, May 2026
Very nice tour, didn’t have to worry about anything. The guides were super friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the island. Would definitely recommend for a quick way to go around the entire
Island of Antigua
Tonya_J, May 2026
We were not able to experience this excursion due to weather. The team issued a refund in a timely manner because we could not reschedule due to travel. Maybe we'll be able to experience this excursion in the future
Richard_B, May 2026
The crew was fun. They handled an unforseen rain storm with 8 foot seas like professionals. Very exciting, more exciting than snorkeling in my opinion
Andrea_S, May 2026
It was a really fun day. The crew were great company and very informative about the various sights as we circumnavigated the island. The experience with the stingrays was amazing and we also snorkelled with turtles in close proximity. Lunch on the beach was really good as was the rum punch!
Erica_G, May 2026
The speed boat excursion was so fun!!! We enjoyed the boat ride, swimming with stingrays, & snorkeling! The crew was very friendly & informative!
Larry_M, May 2026
The experience was great. Swimming with sting rays was a little crowded but they make the best of everything. The guides know a lot about the history of Antigua. Even though they give you life vests for snorkeling you definitely want to be able to half way swim. Where we got off the boat to drink rum punch you had to swim in about 8 ft of water to the beach. Not far. Overall a great experience.
Mike_J, May 2026
This was such a great day out. Highly recommend speed boat was fast and extreme. Food on beach was very nice pasta, bbq chicken , salad, drinks and banana bread
Hayley_S, May 2026
This is a great trip. Young and old would enjoy the experience. The Xtreme crew was quick to help and assist.
Alberto_B, May 2026
My wife and I went on this excursion based off of reviews and recommendations and we were not disappointed. We didn’t realized we would see the whole island and with the came all the history we were so pleased. Our captain and mates Brandon, Mac, and Amira we outstanding and made our day so entertaining and memorable. We brought cash to tip but after the day we had we felt their customer serviced deserved more than what we originally planned on. If there was one thing I would change “the day was perfect” it would be a digital scan/ QR code on the boat for the a way to tip them and leave a review would be amazing. I know all countries don’t tip (and I will add they never mentioned a tip which is always nice that we didn’t feel pressured) but they really made the 10/10 experience an 11/10. WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND spending your day with this crew.

This experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. We were so appreciative of the 3 workers on board - you could tell it wasn’t just a job for them, it was a lifestyle and they made the trip very enjoyable and were very informative with every questioned answered. The beaches they took us to were absolutely INCREDIBLE! They were not joking, please be sure to pack a sunshirt and sunscreen. The food for lunch was amazing and I would eat it again. I would do this trip over without changing a thing !
Tania_C, Apr 2026
Book it! We had an absolutely fabulous day with Captain Adino, Makieva and Jahvon. We were cruise passengers and they were fantastic about making sure we were back to port in a timely fashion. Easy to find meet up point right by the port. They gave a great tour and history of the island as we traveled. These guys balanced a truly fun and memorable day with a safe experience and let us know when to expect bigger waves and gusts of wind. The snorkeling sites were awesome and we saw lots of turtles, many varieties of fish, and stingrays! It was a rough day at sea at the pillars of Hercules, and they gave us an option of a calmer snorkeling site that was better protected. 100% of us agreed on the other site, and it was a fantastic decision. Lunch was delicious! They served a proper rum punch on the way back to port and the banana bread was fabulous. If I could give this experience more than 5 stars, I would.

Fabulous fun ride on the boat. Staff team Dez, Mac, and Les were amazing! Would recommend this trip !
Katie_A, Apr 2026
Extreme Adventures was just that. We had a wonderful trip around the island with 4 stops along the way. Brandon and crew were great and very informative with history about the island. The lunch was terrific, right on the beach. Rum punch at the end of the day wasn't bad either!
It rained on us and it was windy but Brandon was a terrific driver and managed to avoid the worst of the waves.
Chris_K, Apr 2026
It is a long day on the water, with lots to see around the island. The guides were awesome, very knowledgeable and friendly. Stingray city was super fun and amazing. The lunch was really good too.
juliet_h, Apr 2026
Fabulous fun, a highly recommended tour for the second time.
Disappointed by the request to bring own cups, but then for ease they kept using their disposable plastic which was only used once and then thrown away in mixed trash. Food was plentifully and good quality but lacked flavour ( except cake!)
So sort out those admin and environmental issues and a brilliant day out
Danny_C, Apr 2026
Our plane was almost 3 hours late which caused a chain reaction to our scheduled tour to Barbuda. There was no explanation no apologies or excuses. Just business as usual. We also, waited to be picked up after arriving because our guides moved on to other things and were not available. We were not able to see all of the attractions that were paid for because the return plane had to stay on time. Very frustrating, but we made the best of a beautiful opportunity.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
That's a really frustrating situation. Almost as frustrating as posting it to our company as it has nothing to do with our company in any way. We have no arrangements with planes and despite doing charters to Barbuda since 1999, all about charters are by boat and our guides are dedicated to our guests the entire time without exception. Please see that you have posted this to the wrong location and attempt to delete it because it is causing us problems unfairly. Our company is Adventure Antigua and again does not do anything along the lines that you are describing.
Diane_R, Apr 2026
Wonderful day. Thanks to Brendan and his crew. Totally professional and entertaining. Make everybody’s day special. Plenty of time for all of the activities. A very knowledgeable crew who supplied various information about Antigua throughout the day. Lunch on the quiet Green Island was both delicious and plentiful. I would totally recommend this trip!
Raymond_S, Mar 2026
Extreme Navigational Tour.
Great crew of Brandon, Leslie, and little Kimbo.
Fun adventures and great lunchtime food.
Deborah_S, Mar 2026
Amazing experience. Easy communication with Viator in pre-planning every detail. Pick-up was on time and it was a day full of amazing experiences. The power boat was the perfect size for a small group and the stops/stingrays/lunch on a beautiful beach/snorkeling/rum punch on another beautiful beach - all of the information and history provided by our knowledgeable guides as we toured around the entire island was truly appreciated. Highly recommend!
Todd_K, Mar 2026
Get there in time. Roads in Antigua are atrocious so leave earlier than your GPS says. Parking at the starting location in Dickinson bay is bad, narrow, no room. The tour itself was wonderful once on the boat. We stopped first at Hells gate rocks. We don’t get out here, that’s the eco tour. Then we went and snorkeled with stingrays. It was great. Water was clean and clear. Next we stopped at an island beach for lunch. Lunch was good, swim a little if you want. Then we went around the island and saw the magnificent cliffs on the east side of the island. Deep blue water here and more rough. Went past Eric Claptons home on a high on a rock bluff. Stopped at English Harbor next. Historical and beautiful. We snorkeled here, but it not great in my experience. Too deep to really see much. Water was cool. Our last stop was on another deserted beach for rum and punch. They really could skip this stop, we didn’t even want to get off the boat we were so wiped out. Spend more time at the beginning at Hells gate would be my choice. Anyway. Good tour worth the money.

This was a great day on the water and a wonderful way to see the whole island! Our captain, Brendan, was knowledgeable and safe and his mates, Leslie and Kemba, were fun, informative, and friendly. Even though it started raining as we arrived, we enjoyed Stingray City and it was very cool to be in the water with the rays. The weather cleared up and we had a delicious lunch - it was topped off with some homemade banana bread, which was lovely! We enjoyed learning about the history of the island as we floated through Nelson's Dockyard, and the snorkeling at the Pillars of Hercules was fun! I wish we had a little more time for snorkeling at that site since we didn't really have many other opportunities for snorkeling (only there and at stingray city). Overall, it was an awesome day and we loved the crew. Some of the guests on the boat didn't seem to realize that they would be in and out of the water several times, so their complaints were a bit tiring to hear, but our group had a great time. Your stuff will stay dry in the front of the boat, but you should expect to get wet if you are on this adventure, especially if you are seated in the back or sides of the boat. If you don't want to get wet, book something else! The crew was EXTREMELY fun and kind and we had an EXTREMELY nice day on the water! It was an awesome part of our first trip to Antigua!

Brenden’s, Leslie and Mach were very informative, friendly and intelligent. They take passengers safety as number 1!! The meal was good- especially the B B Q chicken.
There needs to be a focus on the snorkeling experience- too improve it. The boat was a tad crowded.
Otherwise and amazing experience. A special thanks to the crew.!
Mark_C, Mar 2026
Debbie was our tour guide for the scenic day tour she was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned so much about the island. We would truly recommend her.
Angela_W, Mar 2026
Fantastic tour. Brandon, Luca and Keva were great. Circumnavigating the island was a cool way to see it.
Now, things I wish I had known before this trip. The sea on the Atlantic side is rough. Very rough. You will get very wet depending on where you are in the boat. It can also get cold since you are wet and the wind is blowing. I wish I had brought a waterproof windbreaker of some sort and potentially something to cover my face. When you have your beach lunch, there is no where to sit. I would recommend bringing towels specifically to sit on so you aren’t using sandy towels to dry off with on the boat. Napkins also aren’t provided and the jerk chicken is somewhat messy so be prepared. The water was very rough at the snorkeling site so we didn’t get off the boat.
A fun excursion but I definitely wouldn’t recommend if you have any health issues or for younger kids. They call it extreme for a reason.
