★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 521 reviews · from $132Our pick

Sea scooter snorkeling at Freeman’s Bay, Antigua, with guided turtle spotting, guaranteed shipwreck views, and included photos in ~2 hours.

“I went on this excursion with my husband and 13 year old daughter and we had the best time on our scooter snorkeling adventure! We stayed at the Royalton and had a drive across the island to our experience. The ride was comfortable and we were given educational facts about the island. Once we arrived we were given detailed instructions on how to use the equipment. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we saw numerous sea turtles and other sea life. They took lots of photos of our group and the sea life and emailed them to us the following day. Would highly recommend…”
