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.

This an over-sold experience for seeing sea turtles. The guides were friendly and enthusiastic but need more local information on the best places for snorkeling on the Frederiksted St. Croix beaches. This tour is new in the area, so hopefully in time the experience will improve.
Relaxing and beautiful snorkel trip

Just a short 5 minute golf cart ride from the cruise port to the beach. The guides were very informative on the rides to and from the beach about the history and culture of the beautiful island of St. Croix. During the snorkeling time, we swam with a sea turtle, saw a sting ray, and many beautiful various types of fish. We also learned more about the island history and culture during this time. This was an easy and relaxing excursion which we all enjoyed. The water temperature was perfect. The snorkel masks, flippers, and life jackets were all new and in great shape. This was a very nice and memorable excursion during our cruise.
