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.

What's included in the package

Itinerary

WE TOUR Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley's Heights, finally we will be snorkeling for about an hour around a couple shipwrecks and looking for turtles, we normally always encounter them, but it depends on the visibility that day. I would say 85-90% of guests encounter turtles. If you are a decent swimmer we will also check out The Pillars Of Hercules. THIS IS NOT A BOAT TOUR! Admission to the national parks is 15$USD which gives you two tickets one for Nelson's Dockyard and one for Shirley's Heights. So to clarify you only pay one time for both parks!

Additional Information

We can pick you up wherever you may be on the island. Cruise ship travelers will meet right in front of Cheers restaurant which is a very short walk after you exit the ship. I will be waiting wearing a bright yellow shirt and blue shorts, I have a large beard and bald head and I am pretty hard to miss. I contact all guests a day or two before your tour to get room numbers and give additional pickup information. Last minute bookings will receive a phone call or text message from me as well for pickup information. So make sure your phone number is correct when booking!

Our group has never visited Antigua and this excursion was the perfect little overview of Antiguan history and its environment. Johnny was a wonderful tour guide and brought us to Nelson’s Dockyard and Shirley Heights before the cruise crowds settled in. The snorkel at Galleon Beach was incredibl...
