The 7 Best Kayak Tours in Antigua

1.TRIPLE ACTIVITY TOUR, Bike Kayak Hike, ANTIGUA

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 211 reviews · from $130Our pick

Cycle through St. John’s with guides Giles or Mark, paddle into a mangrove reserve, stop at a beach, and walk to historic Fort James. This relaxed, roughly three-hour outing covers about 8 miles on mostly flat roads, with helmets, water, four bike-frame sizes, and a maximum of 11 people.

“The tour with Giles was great. He is very accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his home island of Antigua. This tour is not physically demanding, but more of moderate level of activity. My wife isn't the most confident of bikers, but Giles always made sure we had the right of way with the little bit of traffic leaving the city and by the end of the tour she felt great about the ride. The kayaking was relaxing and peaceful. The Fort that Giles took us to very interesting, and the small beach (St. John's I think) was stunning. All in all it was an excellent morning with Giles and…”

From a calm Antigua bay, you paddle transparent kayaks over mangroves, sand, rocks, and seaweed while guides explain local wildlife. A short boat ride leads to snorkeling, followed by showers, snacks, and rum punch. Pickup is included under the current special offer.

“This is a must! What a well ran business. Not only is it clean and neat they make sure everything you need is there. Bathroom, showers, change space, lockers and they sell the items you might have forgotten. The gentlemen are polite and full of answers to any questions you have about the area. The view of the ocean floor while paddling was amazing. It is an easy paddle, but if you are having a problem a boat that can tow is following. I loved learning about the creatures we were seeing. The snorkeling location is just your group and there are so many different fish. Personally, I could have…”
