Highlights
-
Cades Bay - Home of the Black Pineapple, the sweetest pineapple in the world
It was not until the late 1960s that the Ministry of Agriculture diversified the operations from small farms to a government-owned Agricultural Station. In 1983, a production and management plan was formulated. It was during this period that Cades Bay was at its peak, with 20 acres of crop under production. Our
Antiguan Black Pineapples
can be taken with you at the end of your holidays. - Fig Tree Drive - Fig Tree drive is the best drive in Antigua! Fig is basically the Antiguan name for bananas, but the road is lined with lots of tropical fruit trees such as guavas, mangoes, oranges, and coconuts. Fig Tree Drive in Antigua is the major road opposite the pink coral Catholic Church just outside the town of Liberta, north of Falmouth.
An Amazing view!

Kayaking and snorkelling - The staff were really friendly, knowledgeable and gave confidence. The equipment was all in very good condition. Most of all it was a fun experience where we got to see some really interesting things. A little disappointingly the kayaking was not very long (but for my wife this was a positive). Andrew who drove us in his jeep made the drive as interesting as possible (the jeep was very old and not the most comfy vehicle), Kevon was a great kayaking and snorkelling lead and Jenson who drove (don’t think that’s the right term - piloted maybe) the boat was excellent too.

Brilliant day trip and very fun - We had such a fun day on this trip! From the minute we got into the safari truck we had a tour of local surroundings & stopped to enjoy local pineapple. I’d never snorkelled before but it was a brilliant experience - kayaking, snorkelling then enjoying some rum punch. The tour guides were fantastic, friendly and knowledgable. Definitely recommend this!

Highly recommend this fab trip - Super trip. From collection and a jeep ride across the Island, to the serene paddle through the mangroves, gorgeous snorkelling on the reef and relaxed lunch on the beach, it was a brilliant trip with friendly and knowledgeable guides.

Great time! - Do not hesitate to book this excursion. We had a really good time! Our pickup time has miscommunication, but we knew that island time is a factor, so sweat. After arrival, we were treated with respect, patience, and kindness. We kayaked, snorkeled and had light refreshments. At no point was this experience negative. I highly recommend the tour.

Highly recommended - This was an exceptional day trip for us. We booked directly and took a taxi from our resort to enjoy this peaceful, eco-friendly tour. The hosts were welcoming, our guide and boat captain were both competent, kind, and fun. We enjoyed kayaking through the mangrove, the little private beach, the quick boat ride to the reef, and the fact that the reef is still alive enough to support colorful and fun fish life. The snorkeling was great. The little snack was appreciated afterward. It was just the right amount of activity and time for us. Great small group size. Really great to see that part of Antigua.

Fantastic family experience!!! - Had a truly wonderful day on this excursion. Our family ranging in ages from 8-76 all can’t say enough good things about the trip. The crew (Androw, Kevin, Alex) were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and had a great day. The kayaking component was really unique experience. Would highly recommend this for all ages!

So much fun - Fantastic trip! The guides are a lot of fun. Good attention to safety. The mangroves are so cool to paddle through. The reefs are beautiful with a fair number of fish

Amazing - don't contemplate - just book it!!! - Don't hesitate - just book it!!! We had an amazing experience from the start to the end. We were on a cruise and the pick up was a very short walk from the cruise port. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff. If you can book the half day tour, you are given a snack and some (by some, I mean a fair bit) of rum punch. Just to note, the snorkeling is a fair way out by boat and the current is rather strong in order to get the the reef. When we came back in from snorkeling we were able to just spend some time lingering in the ocean with the most amazing views. Well worth the money spent.

Great Team, Great Day - From being picked up by Andrew No2 at the hotel from being safely returned after a trip around the island thrown in I'd say everyone must try it.
Andrew No1, Andrew and Alex made the day of kayaking and snorkeling on the reef a great experience right down to the light lunch on the beach.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip
