Martina was our guide and she was absolutely amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable about the island. She made the experience that much better. Marco was our guide at stingray city and he did awesome! We were able to hold and feed the stingrays and he also had us feel it breathing! They were absolutely amazing and I could t have asked for better guides
Martina was an excellent guide and was very informative about the various stops on the tour. Stingray City is a must, they are the softest gentlest of creatures as long as to follow the rules. The staff there are very protective of the stingrays, and it clear that their comfort and needs are the top priorities along with customer safety. Bettys Hope and Devils Bridge are lovely spots for 15/20 minute stops. Roads are not the best but Martina navigated skillfully
Great experience for a family or couple. The guide that we had was great. Highly would recommend this tour.
We would really recommend this activity. Keanu was our guide for the day and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us some of Antigua’s history. He was so knowledgeable & proud of his roots that we loved listening to all he shared with us. We visited Betty’s Cove where Keanu told us about the history of the sugar mill and the people who worked there. Devils Bridge & the scenery around. At Ling beach we enjoyed the time swimming & snorkelling before going for lunch in a local eatery. We then went to stingray city which was a great experience. We enjoyed our day with Keanu and chatting with him about Antigua, its history, culture, politics and island life really gave us a great experience that we would recommend.
This was our second time visiting Stingray City in Antigua, and we honestly didn’t think it could top our first experience, but it absolutely did. The stingrays were just as incredible, the water was breathtaking, and every moment reminded us why we came back. What truly made this trip unforgettable was our tour guide, Keanu. From the very beginning, Keanu welcomed us with warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at ease. Throughout the entire tour, he kept us engaged with his knowledge of the island, his great personality, and his genuine enthusiasm. His passion, professionalism, and genuine care for his guests really stood out. It’s rare to meet someone who goes so far above and beyond, but Keanu absolutely did. As he took us around that side of the island, he shared interesting stories and facts that made us appreciate Antigua even more. He was patient, attentive, and didn’t hesitate to answer any questions we asked. His energy never faded, and neither did his commitment to giving us an unforgettable day. Thank you, Keanu, for making our second visit even more special than our first. Because of you, we’ll be talking about this experience for years to come. If you’re visiting Stingray City, we sincerely hope you’re lucky enough to have Keanu as your guide.
Keanu was a great tour guide! we had a great time visiting the various tourist spots. Stingray city was great! the stingrays were huge. but the host were very professional. All in all, i would recommend. we had a great time!
We had the pleasure of taking this excursion on 07/10/2026 with our guide Greta, a cheerful, professional, and truly very nice girl. The experience with the stingrays was fantastic, a must-try for anyone on vacation in Antigua. Afterward, Greta accompanied us on this day, having us explore some of the island's beaches, showed us a bit of the history and culture of this wonderful place, and had us taste the unique flavors of the local cuisine at lunch. It was a truly unique experience. Heartfelt thanks, from Chiara and Benito❤️
