Scooter Snorkeling
Powered snorkeling with a guide, marine life and complimentary photos.
SCOOTERPRIVATE GUIDE · YOUR GROUP
Share a guided turtle snorkeling experience with your own group and a private guide. A private outing gives you room to plan around your group’s interests and experience, while respecting the same swimming and safety requirements.
Private Turtle Expedition
1 hour on the water, plus approximately 30 minutes for orientation and the safety briefing. Allow 2½ hours for your full visit. Larger groups may take longer for preparation and the tour.
Check available private departures or ask the team about your preferred date.
Up to 20 guests per private session. The booking calendar shows remaining availability.
Your guide is dedicated to your booking group. You can discuss your group’s confidence, interests and preferred pacing before the outing. This can be especially useful when planning a shared occasion or traveling with people who have different levels of snorkeling experience.
The beach and surrounding waters remain shared natural spaces. Private refers to your guided booking, not an exclusive beach, a private marine area or guaranteed access to a particular animal.
Send us your preferred date, party size, ages, swimming experience and any cruise or hotel timing constraints. We can then help you select an appropriate private option.
Review the equipment, meeting arrangements and any transport before paying. If you specifically want scooters for your private outing, ask us to confirm that they are included in the option you choose.
A private snorkeling outing can give couples, families and friends a shared experience away from their everyday routine. Keep the plan focused on what your group will enjoy: time in the water, marine life and a pace you can discuss with your guide.
Safety decisions and route changes still depend on the weather, sea conditions and participants. Tell the team about any concern before arrival so we can discuss it properly.

1 hour on the water, plus approximately 30 minutes for orientation and the safety briefing. Allow 2½ hours for your full visit. Larger groups may take longer for preparation and the tour.
No. Your guide is private to your group, but the beach and water are shared natural spaces.
A private guide does not remove the swimming requirement. Discuss alternatives with the team before booking.
Check the equipment listed for your selected private option. Ask us to confirm scooters if you specifically want them.
Choose the earliest departure that realistically fits your ship’s arrival and disembarkation time. Earlier sessions leave more time for the return journey and unexpected delays. Share your ship name, arrival time and all-aboard time before booking; do not choose an afternoon session without checking that the full visit fits.
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 a planning allowance, not a guaranteed transfer time. Traffic, your pickup point and port congestion can change the journey; confirm pickup and return timing with your driver or our team.
We can help you choose a session and return plan around your ship’s all-aboard deadline. Book an earlier departure and allow time for disembarkation, both road journeys, the activity, the briefing and a generous return buffer. Traffic and ship schedules are outside our control, so we cannot give an unconditional return guarantee. Confirm the plan before booking if time is tight.
Allow 2½ hours at the activity, plus road travel in both directions and extra time for port procedures and delays. This visit allowance includes preparation and, for water activities, orientation and the safety briefing; do not add that briefing again. Larger groups may take longer for preparation and the tour. Choose an earlier departure and plan around your ship’s all-aboard deadline, allowing for any difference between ship time and Antigua local time.
Transportation is booked separately. Use our transportation page to reserve the appropriate round-trip transfer, and confirm your pickup point, pickup time and return arrangements for your chosen activity.
All activities on this website follow a 48-hour cancellation policy. Cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the start time are charged 100%, except when weather prevents an affected snorkeling activity and rebooking is not possible, a qualifying cruise disruption prevents attendance, or Skylork Ltd approves an illness refund.
We offer a full refund if your ship changes itinerary or cannot dock and this prevents you from attending your booked activity. Let us know as soon as possible and share your booking details and the cruise line’s notice.
Please contact us promptly if you are unwell, and do not join a water activity while sick. Within the 48-hour cancellation window, refunds for illness are at the discretion of Skylork Ltd and are not automatic. Cancellations made at least 48 hours ahead follow our standard full-refund policy.
We have limited spaces each day. Your booking reserves a place that we cannot sell to another guest. Last-minute cancellations often leave too little time to refill that space, so please plan responsibly and notify us as early as possible.
No. Please act responsibly and avoid alcohol before snorkeling. Arrive sober, ready to swim and able to follow the safety briefing. Do not schedule an alcohol-tasting experience before a snorkeling activity. Tell your guide if you feel unwell or unable to participate safely.
