Snorkeling with Sven was a continuous learning. He pointed out lots of fish and sea life that we would have missed. He knew about all the vegetation around and so it was an overall learning and fun experience
Absolutely wonderful experience for myself and my husband who were first time travelers to the Caribbean.

A first time snorkeling experience for me and my husband. We are older adults who are both fit but had never been to the Caribbean. Sven took the time to teach everything we needed to know to make our day absolutely perfect. We kayaked on the ocean to a beautiful coral key, then had lunch followed by snorkeling that was absolutely the best. Sven also shared his own reef friendly sun-screen. We would recommend this trip to anyone. We saw many types of fishes and coral and rays, and sea turtles and he recorded our day with photos that we will cherish and share. Thank-you so much Sven and Michelle!

We had a fantastic day with St. Thomas Adventure Tours on the Coral Cay Adventure. The kayaking was a great workout,but not too hard and fun! Although most of us had never kayaked before, Sven taught us all of the techniques. First we snorkeled in a reef. TONS of fish and Sven knew all the names. The water was a little bit choppy but clear and great. I would recommend this for good swimmers. Sven brought sandwiches for everyone and they were delicious. We kayaked to another bnay to see turtles, stingrays and an octopus. I have never seen so much on one tour or in one day. We also didn't see but a few people at the second place. Perfect tour!
