I cannot say enough good about Bernie! Bernie's love for his job is matched only by his eagerness to share his world with anyone willing to get in the water.
Bernie accepts anybody of any skill level from first timers to experienced swimmers and snorkelers. Bernie's charisma and excitement are infectious, in no time he'll have you spotting stingrays and tropical fish! If you're lucky enough you may even see a turtle or two!
Bernie has many tips and tricks that are helpful for snorkelers and his experience is really helpful to anyone who is nervous and new to snorkeling.
I highly recommend Bernie to anyone who is looking to experience snorkeling and see the tropical sea life while they're in Antigua. I will definitely be returning any time I'm ever fortunate enough to be in Antigua again. Bernie is the best!

As other reviewers have said, Bernie is great - passionately interested in and knowledgeable about snorkelling, eco issues and the landscape and history of the area. He offers very small group trips, max of 6 people (in our case it was 4 one time and just the 2 of us another), picks up from hotel/resort and shows you a bit of the English Harbour sights on way to Galleons Bay to snorkel from the beach. He is considerate about his guests, will teach and reassure new comers and help more experienced develop their skills eg diving to wrecks. He also runs bespoke trips to fit in with your interests (he took us to Stingray city where he used to work so we had our personal guide away from the crowds and did some sightseeing including Shirley Heights and the Dockyard on the way back for more snorkelling). He also took us for hike in Nelson Dockyard national park showing us spectacular views and strange cacti. He was generous with time and advice (happy to recommend other operators eg the Eco tour which we took following his recommendation and were very pleased we did so).
His fees are very reasonable especially if you need picking up from somewhere as taxis prices are exorbitant.

Outstanding afternoon snorkelling with Bernie.
Efficient communication via email to book and arrange pickup at our hotel. Short drive to the Galleon Beach area during which Bernie made sure we got to know each so that our snorkelling experience met our expectations and that we understood safety requirements. Bernie is very friendly and professional and makes his clients feel comfortable enough to trust him as he guides you in the water. His approach is calm and reassuring. I had trouble with my (own) mask in deep water and he was very helpful in solving the issue. We saw lotsa of marine life (turtles, fish) a shipwreck, coral reef and truly enjoyed our afternoon. The area - Galleon beach - is a quaint mini village with restaurant / tiki bar and rum academy where you can learn to make your own maple rum. beside English harbour. It was fun to debrief at the restaurant with a beer and watch the sunset together. The ride back to our hotel was fun and was filled with laughs and great stories. We highly recommend Bernie as a snorkelling guide and providing a great service.

This was the greatest activities we did in Antigua&barbuda. I only went to Antigua for 3 days, but in that time my family and I managed to do a lot. Out of all that we did this had to be a memory I will never forget. Bernie not only is one amazing guide, but also one amazing person. With the radio going and fun talks about what life is like in Antigua, I’m sure my parents are now hooked on moving there. When we went in to snorkel, Bernie made sure that we were all comfortable and secure and took his time making sure everyone felt safe in the water. swimming around the bay, we got to see two green sea turtles, two sting rays, an Eagle ray, a barracuda, two ship wrecks, and about a million fish! It was an experience of a lifetime and I will never forget it.

The wonderful Bernie came to our Villa and pick us up and took myself and my family to the beautiful Galleon Beach where we went on a snorkeling expidition. Bernie was very knoweldagble about the area and the fish we would see and was so friendly. He was amazing with our children 5 & 7 who were a little nervous and explained everything to them about what they would see and what would happen.
We saw the most beautiful fish and tutrles and a stingray along with 2 wrecks.
I would highly recommend this experiance to anyone who loves and adventure.

The experience that Bernie gives you is second to none. The way he makes you feel at ease in the water and his knowledge is superb. Then to add what he brings when showing you all the fish, octopus, shell creatures and coral is mind blowing.
Then to cap it all you get to be in the same world and get up close to the turtles was excellent.
What an experience. When going to Antigua it’s a must excursion that you cant miss.

Bernie has an amazing capability to make you feel relaxed and just enjoy the incredible marine life that Antigua offers.
He took my family and I on a snorkeling adventure further than I expected. Swimming directly from the shore, we swam for more than two hours through coral, stingrays, large turtles, thousands of colorful fish and even a barracuda.
Bernie loves his job and talks about the animals in the ocean as his family, to whom he has the pleasure to introduce you and to also be very respectful of.
His real goal is to share his passion with his guests and empower them to enjoy marine life in their own with the same excitement and protection that he has.

Per i miei connazionali Italiani, Bernie è semplicemente fantastico! Un “ragazzo fortunato” … che come un vecchio amico che vi porterà a fare un esperienza unica!

Wow what a great experience. I was not at all confident that I would be able to snorkel and was quite anxious but Bernie was amazing so calm and reassuring me throughout. He provided me with a full face mask which meant I did not have the worry about trying to breathe and keep afloat. He stayed with me throughout and gave me a float which was attached to him to hold onto. We saw some amazing sites like turtles, stingray, ship wreck and lots of fish! My husband was confident to explore a short distance from us as he had previous experience. The whole experience from collecting us at the port to showing us the sites of the island along with a stop off at Viv Richards cricket stadium and also the beautiful English harbour where we saw the amazing private boats. Bernie is obviously a well known and well liked person as everyone had time to acknowledge him!

Thank you Bernie for you kindness and patience.

My adult daughter and I had an amazing full day excursion on Feb. 21 thanks to Bernie’s commitment to showing us a great time and listen to our preferences. We requested a drive around to see the uniqueness of Antiqua. We checked out the super yachts in the harbor. Next we went on to snorkel. I have some physical issues and Bernie was more than patient and attentive to me but I chose to sit it out. Bernie snorkeled with my daughter for two hours showing her ship wrecks, different fish and sea creatures! She loved it and felt totally at ease and safe with Bernie. When the boats full of tourists pulled up to Sting Ray City, we got out of our private boat with ease. Bernie was at our side assisting us with feeding and telling us information about the beautiful creatures! Loved it! Lastly we headed to Turtle Island, a sanctuary for the large turtles…..all 48 of them coming to eat carrots!

Bernie is flexible, listens and is truly interested in being the best guide possible! We highly recommend him!

As an added bonus….Bernie will be sending us a video of our day!

Thank you for referring us to others in this review and for having trusted our services. 😀 I hope to get to see Kathy and her family next time. 😀 Wishing you the very best, Bernie,
