We had Sophie as a guide. She did a great job. She found many sea turtles. We also found a sting ray and an eagle ray. You could tell she really loves her job.

Wonderful, easy snorkeling adventure for first timers and advanced swimmers alike! Lynne was a fabulous snorkel guide! First we searched for turtles. Lynne zigzagged across the cove to find them and motioned to us when she did. Not only did we see multiple turtles, we also saw stingrays, Then we went to a small reef area where we saw lots of fish swimming among the recovering coral. We even encountered an octopus and 3 squid. Getting to the meeting point was a little challenging, but this was due to St. Thomas’s taxi monopoly on transportation on the island. (The taxis are basically open air trucks with multiple benches. They wait until the trucks are filled, and make multiple stops along the way.) So give yourself extra time to get to the meeting point. We docked at West Indian Company Dock and allowed an hour to get to Emerald Beach, arriving in plenty of time.
Best Snorkeling tour ever!!

We got picked up at the Emerald Beach Resort parking lot, we took a taxi there because we came from our cruise ship. The excursion is about 2 hours. They furnished all the snorkeling gear, provided waters and chairs for the beach if you didn’t want snorkel the whole time. I have been snorkeling several times and have never seen so many fish and yes sea turtles!! We saw a few but went in to rest, and the other people in our group saw another 3-4. I had never seen a sea turtle before either, so amazing. Our guide was Sophie and she had so much information about which fish we were seeing and other ocean marine life and so much information on sea turtles. They take pics and you can buy for $40, which for us was just great as we didn’t want to fumble a camera around and just wanted to focus on our snorkeling sights. Really great fun tour!!

Sophie was early to meet us at the parking lot and she was very cheerful and excited to guide us on our beautiful coastline snorkeling experience. She’s very informative and made sure to give everyone in our small group special attention. Sophie swam deep into the water to locate octopuses 🐙 and she swam around to find the green turtles 🐢 we were guaranteed to see. We also saw rays too.

This was a fun kind of minimalistic type excursion in that it’s very simple and laid back. Our guide Lynne did a fantastic job of guiding us around the beach front waters coming across tons of water life from a baby octopus, to Manatee, and to obviously Sea Turtles! Lots of cool sea creatures and fish but the Sea Turtles steal the show! Lynne was very knowledgeable and would swim around to highlight the next area for us to gather. She took great videos and even tho i also took very good vids during the snorkel I recommend as it’s $40 and her camera is high quality. My one recommendation is maybe tell people to look for your vehicle by description bc the parking lot of the resort was too ambiguous, and we were waiting for a while until we just got curious walking around the full parking lot.
Love it !! So many turtles
