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.

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 !

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

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.

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!

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!

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.
mrsandread_h, Mar 2026
Well worth the money excellent all round and so much fun . A 6 hour trip which was over far too quickly. Very informative and the lunch was so tasty with rum punch in plenty towards the end of the trip.
Angela_F, Mar 2026
What a fab experience...the crew were great and very knowledgeable...Captain David explained everything well and even when one of the prop spun and had to be changed he was calm.
The day went quickly with the Stingrays being the highlight.
Big thanks to Mark and Lilley too 🥰
Marilyn_G, Mar 2026
We really enjoyed this tour until close to the end. The waves on the Atlantic Ocean were huge. We rode one wave down and another came over the boat. It knocked my nephew and 71 yr old mother out of their seats. My mom was under water in the bottom of the boat. She hit her head and had a concussion, bruises to her shoulder and knee. The crew saw it coming and one braced and was able to stop my mom from going further to the back of the boat. He also held her head up so she wouldn’t be under the water. My son got whiplash from the force of the water hitting him. Overall it was a fun tour and we enjoyed it until then. The crew was amazing and the excursion was fun.
Tony_C, Mar 2026
This was a great trip. Brendon, Leslie and Lilly were great fun and gave out stacks of info. All the sights were amazing. The Stingrays a great experience. Food and drink excellent.
Yvonne_N, Mar 2026
It was amazing. Super fast speedboat. Great staff giving lots of interesting information. We got to swim with stingrays. They did a delicious buffet on the beach. They gave good, clear instructions on where to meet. One of the best days ever.
Amy_V, Mar 2026
A fantastic experience. The crew were knowledgeable about their country but fun, too. This tour had it all! It was about a 5 min walk from our cruise ship. Get a seat in the middle so you can hear their commentary better. The boat is a little loud when it’s moving. The boat went fast but it wasn’t jarring for us. It was half as rough as an RIB boat tour. I highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Antigua.
Amelia_N, Feb 2026
What a fantastic day we had with team extreme!
We missed out a little by being picked up last and only having the front seats available and two on the side.
Most of us loved having the front bench seats and being bumped about on the waves but the ones further back were rather disheveled and wet!
The tour was full of facts and things to see, our hosts were friendly, fun & kind!
Beach bbq was delicious and the setting was beautiful!
We had a great day!
Thank you Brandon, kimber & lily!

The people at the sting ray city lost our photos… I’ve emailed them twice now and they have not provided the images.
Over all good experience. Just longer than it needs to be. The last “exclusive” beach was unnecessary. After visiting an actual private one with 3 other stops to swim.
Went here on Feb 14 with my partner, those photos were the only memories we took.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
As we explain to every single one of our passengers and have been doing so since June of 2005 when we started this tour, the photos have nothing to do with our company whatsoever. This is something that the stingray City employees are totally responsible for and our staff reminds our guests to take photos of the code that you are given by their employees so that when you lose your paper, you will have a record of it. Our last stop goes to what we feel is one of our most beautiful beaches. We have taken thousands of people on this tour over the years and you are the first person who has ever complained that we have taken somebody this amazing Beach. I'm not even understanding why you feel that there was a problem with the last Beach stop. It was unnecessary??!?!
Regardless, you've taken the time to give our company a one out of five stars because you lost your photo receipt from an independent company that's nothing to do with us. I hope people are reading your review see it for what it is. I'm usually more diplomatic in my responses but this one is really truly ridiculous.
Elizabeth_H, Feb 2026
Invigorating trip on a fast boat (hang on tight in the front… you straddle the bench like you’re riding a motorcycle). Stops to swim and snorkel and a local lunch provided in a private beach. Captain Desmond is a wealth of knowledge and a former coast guard member. We loved it 2 years ago and had to do it again the next time we were in Antigua!
Joanne_R, Feb 2026
Great fun filled day. Started off swimming with the stingrays. An appsolute must if in Antigua. The Guys on the boat were amazing, funny friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the island and it's landmarks. If you sit at the back of the boat be prepared to get wet.
The beach stop with beach food was amazing. Lovely food with a beautiful view of the clear blue waters. We also got to snorkel a got to see a sea turtle.
Gill_B, Feb 2026
We had a fantastic day. This was a birthday present, could not have had a better day in Antigua. We were picked up near where we were staying. We spent from 9am til about 5, a whole day around the island. Desmond, Kimba and Lilley were the crew, very informative and lovely people. They told us about the places we stopped at, famous peoples houses that could be seen from the boat. Sting Ray City was amazing, getting up close with them, the lovely thing was, they were free to come and go and we’re not kept in a pen. Lunch on the beach, snorkeling and drinking rum on the way back. You will have a great day. 😊

This was an amazing day with the crew Charles, Kimba and Luca. They were so friendly and provided so much history about Antigua. The lunch was delicious, stingray city was fun, and they made it a wonderful way to see Antigua from the water. I was a solo traveler and it was a very comfortable amazing experience. I ran into others from the tour later that night in Antigua and we all went on and on how great our crew was and what a wonderful day we all had. HIGHLY recommend!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a fabulous day out with Antigua Extreme Navigation — truly one of the highlights of our trip. Desmond was an exceptional skipper and Kimber a brilliant mate. They worked perfectly together, very entertaining while also incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out places of interest throughout the day.
We safely circumnavigated the entire island despite a rolling sea and felt well looked after at all times. Stops included Stingray City, lunch at Green Island, excellent snorkelling at the Pillars of Hercules, a very informative visit and talk at Nelson’s Dockyard, and a final stop at Morrison Bay for rum punch.
A perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and local history. Highly recommended — a must-do experience in Antigua!
Kara_F, Feb 2026
This was a great way to become knowledgeable about the islands! The views were amazing and the 2 man crew onboard were hilarious!! Absolutely 10/10! Picked us up at our resort and dropped us back off! Highly recommend!
Tori_D, Feb 2026
An absolute must for Antigua! Desmond and Kimber were so friendly and knowledgeable; they made it a really fun and engaging experience. We learned so much about the island and its history! Lunch was very yummy and the rum punch was delightful. Highly recommend this tour, 10/10
