5.00Sven was great. Loved seeing the turtles. Surf too rough to do the reef part of the trip. We were credited $20 per person for the shortened tour.
Had a lot of fun

5.00Was a great experience, I liked the calmer bay to see the sea turtles and then the second location was out further and more of a challenge

5.00Had a great time, it was a nice change to go from a calm bay to see the sea turtles to the second location where we were able to swim out in the choppier water. Had a lot of fun
Such a wonderful experience!

5.00Conner is an amazing guide and we had a great time! We saw fish, squids, starfish, turtles and much more! The kayak was awesome and our guide was incredibly patient with us (that kept going to the wrong direction!). Absolutely recommended. Thanks again!

5.00This is an excellent way to explore the untouched beaches in St. Thomas. Patrick was our tour guide and Man! Was he good! He knew his stuff right from all the flora and fauna on the island to taking us on an off road track with exceptional skills. We had a really fun time and every minute of it was worth it. The reef where Patrick took us was beyond this world.
Turtles and Coral Guaranteed!

5.00I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the snorkeling was in St. Thomas. The reefs took a hit during the hurricane in 2017 but the wildlife is coming back strong. Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable about the island and walked us through the flora and fauna, always asking what we were interested in to help tailor the tour. We were with just one other couple which made for a fantastic small group experience. The turtles in Brewer's Bay were friendly and the fish out in the ocean reef were beautiful. We even saw an octopus, sting ray and reef squid. Highly recommend if you want a little more adventurous of a kayak and snorkel tour as the ocean current keeps it interesting.
A great excursion with a great guide

5.00My family and I loved this sea turtle and kayaking excursion! Our tour guide was Sven, and he was super great! Very nice and knowledgeable! They were extremely good at communicating before and after the excursion which was so great! Our group consisted of me and my two other family members and I really liked the small group experience. It was very engaging and fun, this is for anyone that wants to explore St. Thomas and all that it has to offer! No prior experience is needed. Sven was extremely helpful in instructing our family and we all felt comfortable and safe the entire time! They also take photos of you throughout the excursion! Highly recommend this fun adventure!
Amazing! MUST DO
