Patrick was an amazing guide, we learned so many facts about St. John and saw sea turtles, rays, octopus and of course lots of fish. I would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was amazing and Patrick was an incredible tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the island and all the wildlife we saw! The kayaking was so much fun and we were able to see so many sea animals while snorkeling. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time for this tour! We had the best time with him! Definitely would recommend this tour for anyone who loves being out on and in the water! This has been the highlight of our trip!
A wonderful adventure!

This tour is amazing! We had Kenny for a guide who was personable, passionate and just a lot of fun. We kayaked one way for 40 minutes to a secluded beach. We saw many sea turtles, a barracuda and many other fish species. Highly recommend this trip. Pricing was also very reasonable compared to other tours.
Best time EVER!

Great trip with Kenny and Pat! The Kayaking portion had amazing views of St. John and the guides shared their knowledge about the history of the island. Amazing guided snorkel as well, we saw sea turtles, stingray, squid and tons of tropical fish (and a wild donkey on the beach!) The guides knew exactly where to go to see the wildlife! I also really appreciate this company’s focus on preservation. You do not need to be an expert paddler or snorkler to enjoy this trip, but you do need a minimal level of physical fitness as the paddling portion can be strenuous if the wind picks up. Absolutely would recommend this trip to others!

The experience kayaking and snorkeling through the national park was a great experience. Our guide was very friendly and went out of his way to try to be helpful. Kenny tries to get as many underwater pictures as possible for us. Personally, I just wish there was more detailed information about the national park itself. Kayaking was a bit of a distance and into the wind. Harder than I expected to be doing. Have fun activity to share with my husband on her anniversary..
Had a wonderful time!

Had such a great day. Kayaked out, snorkeled around, had a little trouble snorkeling cause the wildlife was being shy but our guides did the work to find them and then we saw a ton. Such a fantastic time.
Going to Virgin Islands Ecotours again!

Ronnie and Jahmal made this day a wonderful time. The kayaks are in great shape and I had a fun time. All around these guys told us great facts about the island and showed us a lot of cool things.
