Cruise-day session availability varies by date. Check your booking time against your ship’s local arrival and all-aboard schedule. Wildlife sightings vary and are never guaranteed.

OPTIONAL ROUND-TRIP TRANSPORT

Know where to meet your ride

For cruise-port pickup, choose “Cruise Passenger — Old St John’s Post Office” as your pickup point when selecting transportation. This is the designated meeting point for cruise guests.

Transportation is optional and available for groups of at least two passengers; it is not offered for one passenger. Resort pickup is available at participating Antigua resorts, except Hermitage Bay and Nonsuch Bay.

Review the pickup point, transfer price and return details in the booking flow before paying. If your cruise timing is tight, contact Skylork before booking.

Read transportation details

Which departure should cruise passengers choose?

Choose the earliest departure that fits your ship’s arrival and disembarkation time. For ships leaving before 6:00 p.m., the 9:30 a.m. or 11:00 a.m. session is generally the safer choice. Check the live calendar and confirm your transport plan before booking.

How long is the journey from the cruise port to English Harbour?

For planning, allow about an hour each way by road between the St John’s cruise port and Galleon Beach in English Harbour. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed transfer time. Traffic, port congestion and your pickup point can affect the journey.

How do I plan my return to the ship?

Allow time for both road journeys, disembarkation, the activity, the briefing and a generous return buffer. Share your ship name and all-aboard time with Skylork before booking if you need help checking whether a session fits. Traffic and port operations are outside our control, so we cannot promise an unconditional return time.

What if my ship changes itinerary or cannot dock?

We offer a full refund if your ship cannot dock or an itinerary change prevents you from attending your booked activity. Contact us as soon as possible and share your booking details and the cruise line’s notice. Other cancellations remain subject to the 48-hour policy.

What should I bring?

Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, any required medication and your booking confirmation. Keep your phone available on port day, and check whether your phone’s clock is showing ship time or Antigua local time.
