Specializing in small, intimate groups, Creole Antigua Tours provides a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, ensuring personalized service. Their signature Lobster and Snorkel tour to Bird Island and Maiden Island is a must-try, taking guests off the beaten path to discover hidden Caribbean gems. Aboard their stylish 40ft speedboat or motorized catamaran, guests can explore Antigua's colorful coral reefs, watch for dolphins, turtles, and stingrays, and snorkel in pristine waters. The tour begins from Jolly Harbour, heading towards Five Islands Bay, where you can observe elegant egret birds and pelicans fishing. The journey continues along the picturesque coastline to Dickinson Bay, known as one of the best beaches in the Caribbean. The highlight is a stop at a secluded island off the northeastern coast, where a sumptuous local lobster lunch is freshly prepared and served on the beach, complete with Glen's special homemade rum punch. Creole Antigua Tours is fully licensed and insured, with a focus on safety. The captain and crew are trained in STCW First Aid and CPR, and the boats are equipped with life vests, snorkel belts, lifebuoys, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.
