About us
Antigua's largest tour operator
We run our own catamarans and safari jeeps across Antigua and Barbuda, from our office on Lower Redcliffe Street in St. John's.
Who we are
Land and sea, run in house
Tropical Adventures is a tour operator based in St. John's, Antigua. We run land tours in open-back safari jeeps, sailing catamaran cruises on the Mystic and Mystic II, and power catamaran tours on the Excellence. Because we own and crew the boats and vehicles ourselves, the person who takes your booking is the same team who sail the boat and drive the jeep.
Our tours cover the island's history and its water: Nelson's Dockyard and the sugar mills at Betty's Hope, the rainforest at Fig Tree Drive, the reef at Cades, the beaches at Half Moon Bay and Green Island, and the crossing to Barbuda's Low Bay.
We describe ourselves as Antigua's largest tour operator, and we were named Antigua & Barbuda's Leading Tour Operator at the World Travel Awards in 2023. Our Excellence Catamaran holds a 4.3 out of 5 rating from 629 Tripadvisor reviews.

Giving back
Barbuda, and the island we live on
When Hurricane Irma hit Barbuda in 2017, our boats helped evacuate more than 450 residents to Antigua, and the Excellence later joined the first large-scale clean-up effort organised by the National Office of Disaster Services.
Closer to home, we have donated to the St. John Hospice, taken the girls of the Sunshine Home in Johnson's Point on an Island Safari tour at Christmas, and worked with youth and wellness programmes across the island.
We also try to run the business responsibly: recycling plastics and aluminium, using reusable plates and cutlery on tours, buying lobster from local fishermen, and asking guests not to stand on coral or take anything from the sea.
