They canceled our trip with just over 12 hours notice due to not enough people signing up. Seems like a double standard, as they had a 24 hour cancellation policy for us. I’d be much more understanding if it was due to a weather/safety concern. They did offer to combine us with a different tour, but this did not interest us, as we specifically had wanted to explore around St. John. We were disappointed by the very late notice, as we did not have time to find a different tour and this was our only free time to go.
Perfect afternoon on the water

Great small group snorkel trip! No rum punch but plenty of liquid to keep us hydrated. Excellent experience.

We booked this tour less than 24hrs in advance and received fantastic service from the start! We ended up being the only group on the boat, it was a pleasant surprise. Captain Maddy was fantastic, funny, and educational. She guided us through the different snorkel spots ensuring we kept an eye out for the resident sea creatures. We spotted so much marine life and enjoyed some time with sea turtles. 100000/10 experience!
Turtles!!!

Great day on the water! Intimate excursion of 8 in total - 2 families of 4. JP was extremely knowledgeable and flexible throughout. He was able to find all the right spots - fish, turtles (so many), beaches and history of the area. Communication from booking to excursion was great. Overall - outstanding experience, thank you JP!
Let down, no communication.

We have been waiting over an hour and no one has shown up or bothered to call. The trip was confirmed and still nothing. I expect a full refund as this has really put a damper on my family’s plans of our last day in the VI.
Underwhelming.. price did not support the experience

While the water is beautiful and the beaches are nice, not a tremendous amount of marine life in the snorkeling areas. Seemed to have little time to explore
Loved it!

We were on the Island Flyer with Hillary as our captain last year. She is gracious and very accommodating. We love taking a catamaran to St. John and this was once again fantastic. Would do it again and again.
Guide was bad.

Tour cut short and guide was not professional. Would not book with this company again. Guide was not very friendly and I would not recommend this tour.
