About this experience
This amazing new tour is like nothing that we have ever seen in Antigua and Barbuda with themes of ecology, history, and adventure all while maintaining a desire to be off the beaten track. Guests are collected along the west coast of Antigua by boat and taken into the Northeast Marine Management Area, the Eastern Caribbean’s biggest Marine park. There are over two dozen little islands and cays nestled between wonderful reefs which all create a barrier to the Atlantic Ocean’s waves and swells. After zigging and zagging between these beautiful areas over it’s azure waters, the team navigates our guests over to the private Laviscount Island where we are greeted by our wonderful hosts.

It’s hard to believe that we will have time for more adventure, but we really should do some guided snorkeling through the coral reefs off Great Bird Island before cruising home and opening up the historically important and equally potent traditional rum punch.
