An Unforgettable Underwater Journey
Join us at Turtle Cove Beach, right by the iconic Frederiksted Pier, where the Caribbean’s magic comes alive. Wade into shallow, glassy waters (5-15 feet deep) and discover why St. Croix is a snorkeler’s paradise. Here’s what awaits:
Majestic Sea Turtles: Swim alongside 5-10 Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles, their intricate shells glowing as they munch seagrass or glide to the surface. It’s a serene, almost magical connection with these gentle giants.
Vivid Coral Reefs: Marvel at brain, elkhorn, and fan corals bursting with pinks, purples, and oranges, forming underwater gardens teeming with life.
Colorful Marine Life: Watch schools of blue tangs, parrotfish, and sergeant majors dart through the water, joined by stingrays, curious octopuses, barracuda, and even the occasional eagle ray. Under the pier, spot tarpon, juvenile fish, and hidden treasures like sea stars or conch.

4.00Great host. She was wonderful. Snorkeling was okay, little hard for kids and didn’t see much. Revoked life jackets for the kids.

4.00Got a late start. Wish there has been better signage to find it. Saw 2 turtles and one stingray. Seemed a little disorganized at first. We ended up having a good time

5.00The Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour was a fantastic experience! The location is right outside the port, making it an easy and convenient walk from the cruise ship. The team was amazing—very friendly, organized, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. They also reached out ahead of time with clear instructions, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. My family had a great time, and seeing the sea turtles up close was truly memorable. Highly recommend this tour!

Turtle rescue

5.00Reserve earlier in the day so that you see more turtles.Because we traveled at five and didn't see, but one.And that was only because he was stuck, or he probably wouldn't have been there either. We had to cut hours out early because there was a turtle stuck between the pylar. My two sisters barely got out into the water before they had to get out.Because of the rescue. I followed and watched the rescue, but it was quite a ways out. So the sisters had to end theirs a relief. To be honest, we were told to see if we could get a bit of a refund, since they didn't actually get to go out to see the turtles. And had to. Cut it off early.
A Great Time

5.00I am not a fan of swimming in the ocean at all, especially far out where I can’t see and touch. Angela stayed by my side and made the experience a very pleasant one! Our group saw a turtle up close and lots of beautiful coral and colorful fish! 10/10 experience!
