Great tour.... could have used a ladder - LOL

Well organized, staff was friendly, funny and informative! My husband and I were in a double kayak, we made it back to the dock and we tipped it by accident. No fault of the Mangrove Lagoon Tour company, but I highly suggest they have a ladder at the dock for instances like this. The staff and others in our group helped us up out of the water but a ladder would have been ideal. The staff was able to recover my belongings, including my cell phone that sank into the dark muck! Great teamwork by all!

Bring reef friendly sun screen. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind to the environment. Wear sturdy footwear for the hike.

This wasn't a great tour experience as we expected. First of all, the management of the tour company is quite terrible. They scheduled another 60 school kids for the morning and somehow they didn't even aware. They had a bus to bring about 20 of us to the site, and they ask us to return in the afternoon! (Everything were booked way ahead of time) Some of the tourists in the bus are quite upset with them. Then they somehow managed to let us in despited get a few of tourists turning back to cruise ship. The communication was poor as well. I don't see sincere apologies from the them about this mess. Another interesting thing is that they "promised" they will provide some souvenir after the tour and end up nothing, and we don't even get to see our tour pictures the guide took. The tour itself is lame. There isn't much in the water in that area, and barely any fish in the snorkel area (they had turtle picture everywhere in their posters which you will never see). We have much better mangrove tours before, this is a disappointing one for sure. The tour guide was pretty good, probably the only thing earns them 2 stars there. BTW, if they told you that you can hold up-side-down jelly fish for pictures and you have sensitive skin, don't do that - my wife had itchy skin after that and last for more than a day. If you like to have a kayak / snorkel tour in St Thomas there are much better options out there, this is a quite waste of time and money.

Fun kayak and snorkel. Knowledgeable guide. Only issue was that we were supposed to get picked up at the cruise ship and that didn’t happen. The company did refund us the taxi ride. They said they would fix it

Swish and Joseph were our guides. Swish set the tone for the tour with his relaxed, fun loving energy for the day in its entirety. He was informative, interactive, had a large group to support, but ensured that whilst we canoed through the waters his energy kept us going without us realising. There was so much to learn and to see. You could see their passion for their jobs which in turn became contagious to the people around them. Such a fabulous tour combining a mixture of activities. Thank you Swish and Joseph.
Great Kayak and Snorkeling

We included pick up and drop off in our excursion and it was well worth it. The driver was waiting for us at both the ship port and the excursion location.
