Perfect for beginner or experienced snorkelers. The turtles are majestic! - If you have any hesitation about snorkeling, Bernie/Skylork are the people to go to! They are true pros, have deep love for snorkeling and marine life, and are so warm and welcoming. Bernie helped us find the right tour for my cautious kiddo with such patience and understanding. We chose Swim With Turtles as a comfortable tour to start with, but a scooter tour went out at the same time and everyone on that tour was raving about it. You can’t go wrong with either! Everything is explained, gear is fitted carefully, and our guide, Rennick, was so exuberant, experienced and patient. His enthusiasm was infectious, and the two kids and an adult non-swimmer on tour all felt safe and comfortable in the water with him. We saw turtles, sting ray, ship wreck and lots of fish. Rennick took a load of photos of the group and what we saw that are priceless, and included in the price of the tour. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thanks, Bernie and Rennick!

Well worth it - We had a lovely time on the tour. Rex was our guide who was a gentleman. He didn't realise that he would be dragging around two OAPs on that day! He was patient and helped us do something that we wouldn't otherwise have done :-)

Excellent service and patience!!! - We chose this tour as I’ve always wanted to see turtles in their natural habitat. Scooter snorkelling team were amazing. They picked us up from near the cruise port and drove us there. We explained to the team that we had to be back by 5pm as we were on a cruise ship. The staff were amazing, they explained everything and Rex took us out as soon as we were ready and Bernie told us not to worry about timings as he was taking us back and would make sure we were back by 5pm. This meant we could actually relax and enjoy the snorkelling. Rex took me and my husband out and was patient in helping me put on my flippers and when my own mask broke he ran up to the centre to get me one of their ones. He made sure we were both happy and safe throughout the session and always asked if we ok. We saw many fish, a stingray and two large turtles. Rex was determined to find them for us to see. He took many photos too so we didn’t have to take a camera. He kept a check on the time throughout. I felt very safe with Rex as I can become quite nervous in the water. When we retuned to the office, they showed us where the bathroom and showers were and offered us a drink. They explained that they were going to put towels on the seats so we could get straight off back to the port. Bernie drove me and my husband back and gave us lots of information about the island, we arrived back by 4.45pm Thank you so much to Rex and Bernie for a wonderful experience, you made us feel very safe and it felt like a very personable activity. I would highly recommend you to everyone who has the pleasure of visiting Antigua. A beautiful place with beautiful people. Thank you once again.

Don't Wait, Book This Trip! - Absolutely amazing experience start to finish. Nicole was a great communicator and Bernie and his team did a wonderful job driving us to the location, instructing us on the area, fitting us properly with the equipment, and patiently teaching us how to proceed and what to expect. We were newbies and I always felt safe and looked after. The best part? We saw several sea turtles and hundreds of fish! Highly recommend this experience!

So much fun - These guys were very friendly and professional. You are pretty much guaranteed to see turtles in this spot. The turtles are feeding in the bottom of the bay. Snorkel right off the beach. No boat ride needed to access the turtles.

Best Snorkeling Experience with Bernie in Antigua! - Bernie’s Snorkeling in Antigua is truly one of the best experiences we’ve had! As non-swimmers, we were initially hesitant, but Bernie was incredibly patient and supportive throughout the entire trip. He stayed with us the whole time, guiding us through the water and ensuring we felt comfortable. Thanks to his expertise, we got to see stunning shipwrecks, vibrant marine life, and even turtles up close. It was an unforgettable adventure, and we highly recommend it to anyone—whether you’re a beginner or an experienced snorkeler!

A delight!! - Great experience despite not having snorkeled for many years. Staff friendly, encouraging, careful, very professional. My book (in case I chickened out) remained in the bag. Saw turtles, stingray, reef with beautiful fish.. .a delight!

Great experience! - We had a great time swimming with turtles, we saw two sea turtles and an eagle ray along with a lot of other beautiful fish and plants. Imran was an awesome guide in the water and a great driver to and from our resort. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable. So glad we did a guided tour

Amazing experience. If you are a good swimmer upgrade to the Sea Scooter Tour! - We signed up to do the Swimming With Turtles tour with Scooter Snorkelling but upgraded our experience to their awesome Scooter Snorkelling Tour for an extra USD 30 per person when we arrived, as we had not know about that tour when we booked. The team were extremely flexible and accommodating in letting us do this and we were super grateful, as it was unforgettable. The pick up and drop off were bang on time and it was an easy short drive from our hotel in English Harbour to the team’s base on Galleon’s Beach. The whole crew had a warm, family feel, with a super friendly welcome. The team took us through a professional, clear, and detailed. instructional briefing. The ensured they understood our self-assessed confidence in the water and took great care to ensure that we had the right equipment and that it fitted correctly, even helping us to negotiate creating a water seal on our masks with Vaseline, due to our facial hair! The main part of the tour lasts an hour and we were accompanied into the sea from the beach and given time to familiarise ourselves with our water scooters before we headed off for adventure. Our guides took us out over shipwrecks, we saw enormous turtles, all manner of marine life, and the Pillars of Hercules. Throughout the excursion, the team checked in on us and ensured that we felt safe and confident in the water. They also took brilliant photographs of the things we saw and of us on the tour, for free, meaning that we could concentrate on being fully immersed in the experience, safe in the knowledge that we had wonderful mementoes of this unforgettable tour. Zooming around under the waves was so brilliant, it was like being in some kind of James Bond caper! It also enabled us to go much further than we could swim and to see which was fantastic. We would totally recommend this tour and company. They are the best!

Bernie was great with our reluctant kiddo - Our children, ages 7 and 9, were reluctant to try snorkeling. Our 9 yo is autistic and also has a lot of anxiety. Being on vacation was already outside his comfort zone. We brought cheap snorkeling masks to try out in the pool and that went pretty well. Still, he kept saying he wouldn't go snorkeling with us. We asked the tour desk for suggestions, and they pointed to working with Bernie. They said he'd be very gentle and encouraging. Long story short, both kiddos went snorkeling and had a GREAT TIME. While the water wasn't as clear as it usually is, it was still a wonderful time. Our 9 yo was the only one to see a turtle; it was such a treat. He'd definitely be open to doing this again. Bernie made the process so easy. He gave both kids vests to make floating easy. As adults, we didn't need them and were quite buoyant, so much so that my wife had a hard time going down to get closer to the shipwreck. My only regret is I'm very, very nearsighted and stopped wearing contacts years ago. Still, it was a nice family outing.
