About this activity


Great Bird Island, named as such by sailors amazed by the huge amount of birds that it harbors, is a small islet located around 3 kilometers from Antigua and the sole home to the harmless serpent Antiguan Racer; also considered a small paradise.

Take a fun vessel ride to a sanctuary that hosts an interesting variety of unique animal species and surrounded by incredible marine spots, ideal to practice snorkel activities due to its benign surf and warm waters, friendly for beginners and the youngest.

Paired with your fave drink from the open bar, enjoy delicious lunch amid lush vegetation, incredible views of the Caribbean Sea, and the tranquil atmosphere that only a piece of paradise like this can provide.
