Review of Antigua’s beach-hopping tour, with Valley Church and Jolly Beach, small groups, transport, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Ffryes beach and Jolly Beach were gorgeous. We didn't like Valley Church beach as it was more rocky and fishy smelling (also on the same bay as Jolly beach so would prefer to have skipped this beach in exchange for more time at Ffryes or Jolly). The guide was good and so nice to lend us floaties for our kids in the water!”
