Hi there,

My boyfriend are off to Galley Bay next week for our holiday. Can anyone recommend a good day trip that can be taken from the resort? We'd be interested in boat or land based trips.

Thanks

Gem

Totally recommend either of the adventure antigua trips - the eco tour, or the extreme circumnav. Both pick up at Galley Bay (or next door at Hawksbill if the swells are too high at Galley).

Enjoy your stay, Galley Bay is a lovely resort.

Hi. We did the Wadadli Cats snorkel trip to Great Bird Island and it was great. Would recommend it any time. We'll probably do it again next time we are in Antigua. You will love Galley Bay as well. Enjoy your vacation.

Hi Gem,

I am so jealous -- I love Galley Bay! Anyway .. the best tours IMHO have been the extreme circumnav and jeep island tour. Antigua is so beautiful -- hope you enjoy it.

Stayed at Galley Bay in July and did four trips, Creole Cruises lobster lunch cruise - really fun day out fabulous meal on the beach at bird island with plenty of swimming and snorkling. Its a small boat so no crowds, this picks up at Hawksbill next door. Also Elis Eco Tour similar but a larger boat also picks up at Hawksbill. We booked them both online from London and had a 10% discount. We also did an Island safari/swimming with stingrays tour really fun this picks up at Galley Bay. Our final tour was the Exellence to Barbuda - long boat trip over open sea so can be rough, but the beach and sea in Barbuda are fabulous. This picks up and dros off by taxi at the hotel. Any of these are worth doing. Have a great holiday Galley Bay is so good you don't need to go out!
