Extreme Circumnavigation Full Day

Description

You will be met at the ship by our Tour Guide and escorted a few yards to your awaiting 45 feet power boat, designed to get into shallow waters and tight reefy-spots accompanied with expert, courteous and knowledgeable crew.

During the tour guests have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities. Before lunch, a visit to Stingray City where you can enjoy the company of their monkeys and parrots, and the hospitality of the experienced Stingray City’s Guides. A short speedboat ride will whisk you to a shallow pool with a white sand bottom surrounded by beautiful coral reef in the Caribbean Sea. You will be able to stand up or swim with the stingrays, who will greet you with the familiarity of an old friend.

After feeding, snorkelling and taking some pictures with your new friends, you will return to the land base where you can rinse off the seawater under the bright Caribbean sun, with a shower on a coconut tree.

Enjoy complimentary punch drink, browse in the gift shop and just share this unique experience with your fellow guests before you return to the boat.

Then it is on to Great Bird Island to drop anchor and have a relaxing swim for an hour or so. However, if you simply want to relax, there is plenty of shade on the boat and of course, easy ladders for those of you who fancy a refreshing dip.

Local fruit juices like Passion, Tamarind, Guava, and Lime are available throughout the day and the delicious lunch is served, whilst the boat is moored in one of the breathtaking bays of Bird Island.

We then power around close to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Nelson’s Dockyard where your Guide will fill you with stories and historical titbits.

We will stop at historical and unique Pillars of Hercules to snorkel. Snorkelling lessons will be given for those who have not snorkelled before or who want a refresher. All equipment is supplied and crew members will accompany the fantastic guided snorkelling tour.

You will have an opportunity then to take a further swim at the deserted and wonderful Rendezvous Bay for 45 minutes or so before following the Antigua coastline full of interesting beaches and wonderful homes and hotels.

As the tour draws to a close and the boat heads home into the setting sun, our special recipe rum punch is presented to make a perfect end to a perfect day.

And don’t forget your swimsuit, towels and camera to record wonderful memories!

NB: Snorkelling equipment includes safety buoyancy waistband, mask, snorkel and fins; professional instruction and supervision by trained Guides.
