Not allowed to recommend one but suggest you go to TA tours and read reviews there - but hurry because all the best ones will get booked up for Christmas and New year. Several start in Jolly harbour which is just down the road from Sugar Ridge -hotel offers a land rover shuttle service.

I already read all the reviews. Can you send me a PM with your suggestion?

I think you'll find that Jabberwocky Nick isn't allowed to recommend because he runs one! However, I can happily recommend it for him ;) For a private charter, it would suit the OP very well - check out http://www.adventurecaribbean.com/

For kidfree - if you've got teens with you and want some excitement and a full day, you might want to take a look at the Xtreme circumnavigation, which has lots of stops, including one at Stingray City, and is fast enough for even the most jaded of youngsters!

We took our teenagers (16 at the time) on the Xtreme circumnavigation tour and they enjoyed it (as much as a 16 year old enjoys anything that involves his parents, that is).

Can also recommend the Eco-tour from Adventure Antigua - interesting, informative, lots of different elements - and a good lunch. (And it starts from Jolly Harbour - so very convenient for you.) It is a full day though - but worth every cent.

We did the lobster lunch with Creole Cruises which departed from Jolly Harbour, see my review here......

Many thanks for everybody's responses. It was the lobster lunch with Creole Cruises that I had seen on You Tube so will probably go for that option.

A week today and we will be on our way to Sugar Ridge - can't wait!

Dont go on Wadadli Cats circumnavigation if you dont want choppy water, they take you right out in the Atlantic and its pretty crazy. Everyone was a little woozy after that. It was a fun experience, but a little scary.

We did a 3 hour cruise aboard Cat Tales and loved every minute of it. Took our 6 year old and our 17 and 18 year old nephews, who all loved it. Our nephew said it was one of the best things he'd done in his life. tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1892998-d…
