Justin was a great Tour Guide. He was knowledgeable about the plant life and the marine life. He took us snorkeling and described all the different fish and made sure that we got to swim with sea turtles. When we went kayaking, he took us around and described the marine life. He even brought lunch for us with beach chairs to sit out and watch the beach. Lots of little thoughtful touches and really enjoyed this tour would absolutely recommend again.

Conner was awesome!! He was extremely knowledgeable. We saw 5 sea turtles, 4 sting rays, and a host of fish that Conner told us about. He showed us some different trees as well. The lunch was amazing home made bread and cookie!! And the kayak beach was stunningly beautiful! We also had some great views on the drive to do the kayaking. It was the best money we could have spent!! The pictures include a bunch of underwater pictures of the sea life and several pictures of you enjoying the experience. Highly recommend!!
Amazing experience!

We were only in St. Thomas for a few hours on a cruise ship stop, and this was the perfect way to spend it. Our guide Sven is very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He was very chill and asked what we were interested in, so he took the time to tell us about the trees, termites, and spiders. When we snorkeled with the turtles, Sven knew what to look for in the water to find us several turtles to observe. Snorkeling with the turtles was as amazing as we'd expected. He offered options for the kayaking locations based on our level of adventurousness, and was really good at reading our energy level. Lunch was included which hit the spot without making us feel overly full before kayaking. As my family's photographer, I am often not in many pictures, so I really appreciate that Sven was taking photos with his GoPro of both the turtles and us, and the photos were emailed to us a few days later. He stayed conscious of the time to get all the adventure in without feeling rushed, and get us back to our ship on time. Highly recommend this individualized small group tour!
