Fun, informative, super easy float around the bay. Saw tarpon, turtles, stingrays, and Kevin the red snapper. Guides were awesome; they kept the gaggle together so all the lights on the kayaks worked as one to attract critters and they answered all of the questions with the right amount of accuracy and sarcasm. Scheduling was easy. Getting there was easy. Paddling was easy.
Not what we hoped.

The guide was nice and knowledgeable about the fish,rays, turtles, etc. but we saw little of these until our time was almost up. We told the guide we were hearing impaired and thought she would accommodate us by letting us be closer or by talking louder. We missed a good portion of what she said. The guide said light drew the creatures, but the light she had was a regular flashlight that gave an unimpressive amount of light. The other company that operated a similar tour had glow lights and a more powerful light and seemed to be seeing much more than we did. We did see jumping fish and some fish and rays at the end, but overall it was disappointing.

I really wanted to live this excursion but it wasn’t worth the money. ☹️ Our tour guides were great, the group was super small but we only saw a few tarpons and a couple of rays. Obviously, they can’t control the wildlife but it was still disappointing. Also, no neon face painting either. Spend your money elsewhere.
Good tour with lots of education . Paul made novice kayakers comfortable with the gear. Wanted more turtles sightings

This was a great experience and oh so fun! If you're afraid of being in the water with the fish, it's even better for you. My husband is an incomplete para palegic w some movement in his legs and he was able to get in and out of the kayak. Our guide, Shawn, was very knowledgeable, attentive and personable. The lights attracted fish and a lot of sting ray that just followed us along our route. We are so thankful we had the chance to do this.

Really fun way to spend an evening in St Thomas! Marine biologist students lead the kayak trip and shared lots of information of island and sea life. We say sting rays, fish and tried hard to see a turtle. Could have been a little longer and gone a little further
