Mobile ticket

Embark on a snorkeling adventure to Maho Bay, a pristine paradise known for crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. Feel the salty breeze as you make your way to the bay on power catamaran, Jost Boat. The journey is a feast for the senses; the turquiose waters stretch endlessly, framed by lush greenery and a rugged coastline.

Upon arrival, slip into your snorkeling gear and explore the underwater wonderland. You'll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors. Schools of tropical fish catch the sunlight, highlighting their iridescent scales. Elegant sea turtles glide gracefully through the water, seemingly unbothered by your presence.

After working up an appetite, your crew will serve a full picnic-style lunch on board before heading to your second destination, an offshore cay or 'off the beaten path' reef where only locals know or alond the shores of the National Park.

As snorkeling concludes, enjoy an ice-cold beverage on your journey back to the Westin Frenchman's Reef.

Dream and Curtis were amazing capitains. They were very accommodating, friendly, and flexible. They suggested a different spot with more clear water for our second stop due to the rain from the morning. We got to snorkel around a shipwreck which was super cool. They food was well prepared and exceeded my expectations for boat food. My girlfriends and I had a great time getting to know the captain and the others on the boat.

This was hands down one of the best tours I’ve ever experienced! The crew was top notch and treated us like family and known us for years. Gave us great history of the area and surrounding islands. The lunch was absolutely perfect and hit the spot. We got to see sea turtles and eagle rays in their natural habitat which was a dream come true for me. Would highly recommend!!!

We were so lucky to have Maho Bay to ourselves. This one of the most beautiful spots on St John. We saw multiple sea turtles. Amazing snorkeling experience. The crew were the best as well! Well trained and so friendly they made the tour enjoyable! Would highly recommend this tour and Dockside!

I booked this tour for a friend group vacation. I originally booked for Tuesday, and the tour service called me the Sunday before and said there was a cancelation but we could move to Friday. That actually worked better for us, so we rebooked and they sent me a confirmation email. We showed up Friday to the Westin and the front desk worker said there was no tour, that it had been canceled again, but I got no phone call or email about the second cancelation. The desk worker couldn't have cared less and told us there were no other tours that day, so we were stuck. She at least processed a refund request for us. Super unprofessional behavior all around. We managed to book another tour with another company for the same day and they were more than kind and accommodating. Save your money and don't book with these people.

Amazing Ride, even with a little rain on the way. We saw MANY sea turtles, a stingray, a shark, and a giant barracuda, among many other sea life. Definitely recommend. Bring cash to tip.

Amazing experience. They were wonderful guides as we took the boat passed several celebrity homes and yachts. The were amazing at picking out great spots to snorkel. We saw 3 turtles which made my nine year old's day. To top it off they had one of the best lunches on an excursion then I have had in a long time. 10/10 recommend
