5.00We had a great hike at Megan’s Bay. The tour guides were knowledgeable and experienced. If you enjoy hiking and seeing local plant life and beautiful vistas we encourage you to you to do this hike. There is more to St Thomas than boats and beaches! This was a fun thing to do. Plus Megan’s Bay is beautiful too.

5.00The Magus Bay tour was lovely and was enjoyed and recommended by my 2 kids, ages 15 and 13, my husband and myself! The tour guides shared lots of interesting historical facts about St Thomas and also details about day to day life on St Thomas. While there are lot of water related activities available on St Thomas, hiking in the rain forest was magical with our hike bringing us to Magen’s Bay which bas a stunning beach area! Stopping at the beach was also nice as we were able to buy refreshments and refill our water bottles which was a nice option to have after our hike down to the beach. I highly recommend the tour as it was a great way to see the western half of St Thomas.
