Famous Red Phone Booth Beach (Dickenson Bay) and Fort Bay Beach
Description
IMPORTANT FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS: FOR US IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR RETURN TO THE SHIP IN TIME, THAT IS WHY THE VAN AND THE DRIVER WILL ALWAYS REMAIN WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE TOUR, UNLIKE THE TAXIS THAT YOU CAN FIND AT THE PORT THAT WILL CONTINUOUSLY GO BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ALWAYS STAYING WITH YOU. THIS IS AN EXTRA TRANQUILITY TO LET YOU LIVE THE TOUR SERENELY. "A few dollars more for so much more serenity." Dickenson Bay has been nominated in the "USA TODAY 10 Best Readers" Choice Travel Awards! The most famous beach of Antigua with the RED TELEPHONE BOOTH NEXT TO THE SEA. The second beach you will visit will be Fort Bay Beach: a captivating Caribbean beach with a rich historical backdrop. The watchword will be FREEDOM and RELAX: a swim in turquoise waters, a romantic walk or simply lots of photographs. PLEASE N.B.: BEACH CHAIRS AND UMBRELLAS ARE NOT INCLUDED.

Marco, our tour guide, was amazing! He came on time, well even few minutes before! He is very knowledgable and he answered all our questions
Red booth is crowded and Commercial. Our chairs were 3 rows back. Other beach was fine. They provide snorkeling, but water is too cloudy to see. Our guide, Phonix was great and gave great local background and describing life on the island. Everything was timely.
Good day, thank you for the review, we are happy that you enjoyed the amazing tour with Phoenix, however, we cannot control the tourist / guests coming on the beaches of Antigua, Was crowded? Possible, that day there were 4 ships in the harbour and you were also guests of one of those. So this is not predictable
It is free of charge, lovely visit and its right next to sibiney beach club and salt plage restaurant. Not very busy and staff nearby are lovely. Nice atmosphere and good experience. You dont really need longer than 5 minutds there though
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the visit, the lovely atmosphere, and the friendly staff nearby. Even if it’s a short stop, it’s great to hear you had a pleasant experience. We hope to welcome you back soon to explore more of Antigua’s beautiful spots!
This was a great excursion, our guide took us to the 2 beaches and we also got a tour of Fort James. The beaches are super nice and wasn’t crowded at all, we got a private tour for a fantastic price, highly recommend.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review! We are happy that you enjoyed the excursion, the beaches and the tour with our guide. It is a pleasure to know that the experience was relaxing and of great value. We hope to see you again soon in Antigua!
We throughly enjoyed our adventure today with Greta! The tour meet up point was easy to find and Greta had a sign with my name on it. She was friendly and made the day enjoyable. Thank you, Greta, for taking such great care of my family and I. I highly recommend booking this excursion!
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this review. We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour together with Greta.
You will be driven to beautiful beaches, but in the end it is only a matter of paying 30€ for a 1 hour stay for sunbed and umbrella... 2 Beaches 60€
Für uns ist jede Bewertung wertvoll, wie die Zeit, die Sie damit verbracht haben. Sonnenliegen und Sonnenschirme sind nicht im Preis inbegriffen. Wir haben uns dafür entschieden, den Preis der Tour niedrig zu halten. Nicht jeder plant, Sonnenliegen und Sonnenschirme zu mieten. Die meisten unserer Gäste stellen sich in den Schatten der Pflanzen, wenn sie sich in der Zeit befinden. Unsere Stärke ist es, die Anwesenheit des Fahrers/Führers für die Dauer der Tour zu gewährleisten, damit Sie sich bei Bedarf oder schlechtem Wetter bewegen können. Im Gegensatz zu Taxis, die Sie verlassen und dann zur vereinbarten Zeit zurückkehren. Ich hoffe, wir haben neben dem mitgelieferten frischen Wasser auch die mitgelieferten Masken und Schnorchel genossen. Wir hoffen, Sie in Antigua wiederzusehen, das nächste Mal bringen wir Sie nach Green Island.
Greta was great!! Punctual and informative & had snacks for us. Enjoyed our time on both beaches and would absolutely visit again
Hola chicas :) It was a pleasure. Dickenson Bay and Fort James beach are very close to the city St. John's... so this tour is perfect for cruise passengers.
Took us 3 tries to get the right tour thru Viator. After the young man from Viator was on the phone with me while I was 'out of country' for an hour, he was able to get it all straightened out and credits and charges appropriate, although we did have to pay an extra amount because our original tour was booked by the time Viator got it straightened out. The driver for the tour was very kind and knowledgeable but having been there, next time we will know much better which beaches to select.
I understand that it is not at all pleasant to have problems when booking a tour over the phone with an operator. However, the review must only be about the tour and nothing else. From what was written "The driver for the tour was very kind and knowledgeable" I think the rating is much higher than 3 out of 5. Sometimes the reviews are made superficially without focusing on the actual judgment linked solely and exclusively to the tour. But these actions then have negative repercussions on those who wake up at sunrise every day to offer to their guests the best possible service with attention to detail (floaties for example) and punctuality. Could you please think about it the next time you do a review?
Wonderful educational time with the tortoises and a few other birds! My family had an amazing time as we had the chance to feed the turtles and learn about a few that were "handicapped". They are huge, they are quiet moving, they are both slow and FAST!! We loved this combo excursion while visiting Antigua....another item to add to your family bucket list for all ages (we actually booked this as a combo activity). Note: "Do Not" touch or try to enter the bird cages. Unfortunately the employee had to repeat this several times to people in our group!
We thank you for choosing us and we are happy to have made you spend a fantastic day.
