Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a great time we had, my husband & I.
I lost my sealegs a few years ago, on taking a travel tablet & drinking plenty of water (drinks all provided). I had no probs. On the way to the North of the Island we sailed into other bays to have a look at the resorts & beaches.
I was wary of jumping into the Atlantic ocean, at Great Bird Island, expecting it to be freezing cold, but it wasn't it was pleasant. We saw lots of coral & several different types of fish, all in pretty colours. We also spotted a barracuda when we got back on board. Fortunately there were only 4 couples on board with 3 crew, so plenty of space to spread out. We all got on well. Lunch was lovely & plenty of it. I told my tour operator that I wanted chicken as don't eat lobster. He didn't relay the msg to the crew, but fortunately they gave me some of their chicken. The pasta & potato salad was to die for. Then it was time to stay & sunbath aboard or go to the beach. We stayed on board due to my disability, not easy getting on & off the catamaran for me. Then onto Maiden Island, we had time to snorkel around. I just floated & swam about. It was lovely again in the sea. On our way back we sailed along in the sunshine it was bliss. A perfect day out with a fantastic crew.

I booked this activity weeks in advance for my girlfriend and I. We were told to wait on our beach and did so for an hour and an half and the boat never showed up. I had to message them a half dozen times for a response to only say “we’re not coming but can do it in a few days”. There are many similar places that offer similar experiences that you should do instead.

We had an amazing time during this activity! Everything was perfect and the whole trip was so well balanced. We spent some time hanging out on the boat, enjoying beautiful weather and turquoise water. We spent about an hour snorkeling by the reef and then ate lunch at the beach. Finished up this tour with some more snorkeling and swimming and had yummy drinks and snacks on the boat.
I can’t recommend this tour enough! All the staff was extremely attentive, professional, funny and just wanted us to have the best time. I also wanted to note how accommodating this tour operator is. I am vegetarian and they went out of their way to make me a delicious custom vegetarian meal. This experience was definitely the highlight of our trip to Antigua!

Danny Damari and Kieran are amazing at this. The food was great. The tour was small and intimate. Only four couples. The snorkeling was lovely and Kieran was very patient with me. The food and liquor were both excellent. I was so relaxed. I would have done this twice!

My husband and I had an amazing time on our lobster lunch cruise during our honeymoon! We did two boat excursions during our time in Antigua and we agreed this was our favorite! The boat is spacious and with only about 12 other guests on board, felt intimate and well worth the money (especially compared to some other cruises we saw that were packed with people).
The lobster was probably one of the best lobsters I’ve ever had - and we love a fine dining surf and turf experience, so this was amazing.
This was a relaxing last full-day of our honeymoon. We cruised, snorkeled, met some great people, enjoyed plenty of rum punch.
Highly recommend!

Lovely day out, the boat ride was great by its self before the activities even started, and the team of guys were amazing they took good care of everyone on board and they really gave all on board a wonderful time from start to finish, they were very professional, and keeping everyone safe while we all had a great time was clearly high on their list of priorities. The snorkelling was brilliant and the beach stop was both fun and relaxing, they also served some amazing food, prawns, chicken, fish, potato salad, pasta salad, green salad, banana cake, there was plenty to go around. Water, soft drinks, and alcohol was also provided. If you don’t book this trip you will definitely being missing out on an amazing time. Well done to the team.

We had a party of eight that booked with the Creole Antigua cruise upon the recommendation of our property host
at cactus house, Roger. We found the boat to be very clean and not many passengers on board that day. The crew was very friendly, attentive and helpful with anything that we needed. We were aware that it was not lobster season and were fine with the selections that they had for lunch. The lunch they provided was delicious, we had shrimp, chicken and grilled fish and 3 side salads. The snorkeling was very fun and many were able to see colorful fish, a couple turtles and numerous starfish. We returned a little bit later than anticipated, but it was totally fine, as we had nothing pressing going on that evening. Overall definitely recommend it was a beautiful, relaxing day, cruising and snorkeling, and they kept the rum punch flowing! (After snorkeling, of course!)

I wouldn’t recommend this tour. Specifically, you spend most of your day taxiing people around. The snorkeling is severely lacking. The food was not lobster, as it’s out of season. We were out longer than anticipated, missing our next plans for the day. Overall, very underwhelming and not a good way to spend a day on vacation! We have done many boat tours and never had an issue like this.

Dear Mary /Anna
Posting the same reviews on different travel site over and over will not result in you getting any refunds. Your intentions are clearly malicious and vindictive, with the purpose of making the company look bad.
From May to June we do not serve lobster, as it is clearly stated on our website. IT IS ILLEGAL TO CATCH AND SERVE LOBSTER DURING THIS PERIOD!!
As a substitute we serve a combination of shrimp fresh fish and bbq chicken.
You have also complained about the snorkeling. We cannot control the weather . 90 % of the time the visibility is great we do have the odd time when the weather changes. The day in question the visibility was great. You saw turtles and various fish .We have reached out to some other guests that was on tour that day and they have debunked your claim. As for the music we are not a booze cruise but we do play music on board. During the morning period we play reggae music then on our return we play a bit of dance music and music requested from our guests.
We do welcome all reviews and aim to please our guests in 19 years of operation, but will not sit back and tolerate someone like you who goes out of their way to write the same unreasonable review over and over and to tarnish the reputation of our company.

Chill vibes on the water. The boat was clean and not too crowded. We enjoyed a nice tour of part of the island from the water. The lunch was delicious and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly!
My friends and I had a great time. Thank you!

Our family took this trip on local recommendation and it was good as described. A really relaxing full day out on an immaculate new-looking boat with friendly crew. There were a couple of guided snorkelling stops where we saw star fish and sea turtles.. At lunchtime we moored at a private island and the crew prepared a BBQ’d fresh lobster / chicken lunch, with pasta, salads and yummy banana bread. During the trip there was complimentary drinks served. It appears that they only sail with restricted numbers, so not at least crowded thus is highly recommended!

Older reviews say that guests staying at Sandals wade out from the beach to be picked up by the boat. Is that still the case? Thanks in advance!
Hi...yes we do pick up from the beach next to Sandals . The boat will come close to the beach and you can enter by using the ladder.

Can non swimmers do this tour? 2 of us can swim 1 cannot but would still like to come along. All adults. Thanks
Hi
You do not have to swim to get to our Lunch stop....the boat will be in very shallow water where you can walk.we also provide floating devices or lifevests if you wish to snorkel and our crew will always assist if needed.
Kind regards katja
Hi! Staying at Sandals Antigua at the end of November for my honeymoon. I see on their website there is 2 different lunch cruises, they seem similar/basically the same however 1 is $10 more. Does anyone know what the difference is? And how long in advance should I book?
Hi Kathryn...if you book online and pay the balance after the deposit in cash you will receive a US 11 off pp for our Lobster and snorkel tour.
Kind regards Katja
