What To Expect

Drive your own boat as you and your friends explore the beautiful west coast of Antigua out to the stunning Cades Reef on our fantastic, award-winning Antigua Reef Rider snorkeling tour.

Experience our fantastic, award-winning half-day cruise ship or hotel excursion. Drive your own boat (two people per boat) with its own 25 hp outboard motor along the beautiful Antiguan coastline and snorkel at the best snorkeling area on the island.

There is limited availability; don’t miss out.

The Reef Riders offer a fun, safe, enclosed, secure, and exhilarating experience, far safer than jetskis, and there’s absolutely no previous experience required.
That’s why our tours are recommended by most of the cruise lines visiting our island.

Hold on tight as you drive your own boat seven miles along the beautiful west coast of Antigua and explore the stunning Cades Reef, which is a protected area. It is simply the best reef snorkeling spot in Antigua.

Put on your snorkel, mask, and fins (provided) and dive into the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. We offer a fully guided snorkeling tour of the reef, with your tour guide with you in the water at all times.
