We went with Jostan and Mr. Potter and it was amazing!
Wonderful time with jostan and Mr potter
We had a great time with Alonzo, he was very knowledgeable and very nice! The Lagoon was beautiful!
Alonzo and Bert were amazing guides! Laid back, lots of information. Pacing was great but challenging. Kayaked about 4 miles round trip. Hiked along the coast for some cool views and pictures. Swam/snorkeled amongst the mangroves - amazing - about 1/4 mile open water swim out and back. Great working with all ages and families - youngest was 4. Simples but filling lunch. Picture package was worth it! Only hitch was meeting up with our private transport off the cruise - lack of clarity about pick up location started things a bit rough. EcoTour contracted with an outside transport company so it wasn't really them.
Alonzo was like literally the best. So kind, very good at telling instructions, and overall the best. The kayaking was super fun, I saw many different sea animals, and the walk was fun. The lunch they gave us was great. Overall just had a very good time.
Alanzo was an amazing guide who made sure we all had a fantastic time and made great memories!
I had a great time. I felt safe, the tour guide, Kyrell, was pleasant and knowledgeable. I would do it again.
Alonzo was simply AWESOME! One of my best experiences on St. Thomas AND I live here. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We truly enjoyed our tour today
The day was fabulous. We started by kayaking through the mangroves and checking out the upside down jellyfish. After beaching our kayaks at the edge of the bay we took a short walk to witness hundreds of hermit crabs climbing all over each other for food. We then headed down a trail for a quick hike to the blowhole on the shoreline. Then we snorkeled for about an hour. I saw two eagle rays, two octopus shelters with slight glimpses of them inside, many fish, a pufferfish, lobster, and lion fish. My favorite was actually the first stop in the mangroves which was a false bay butted up against the ocean. It was separated by a coral shore. Here we saw lemon sharks, barricuda, and a sea star. What a fabulous day. Our guide did a great job taking his time and helping us see as many wonderful creatures as we could.
We loved 😍 the tour. Our guides were knowledgeable, kind, and loving ❤️. We had so much fun. The chocolate 🍫 at the end was a delightful surprise. Thank you for providing a wonderful service.
We went with our friends and had Bret as our guide and the whole experience was beyond amazing. Bret was so friendly and knowledgeable throughout the trip. We would definitely come back just for him. All the places we got to see and the snorkeling were amazing!!
Brett was the BEST! He gave so much history of the area, showed us all kinds of animals, and was so kind! We got lots of great photos, and the hike was easy and gorgeous. The cliffs and hermit crabs were so fun. Lots of great fish, the water was gorgeous, everything was amazing.
Alonzo was a great guide. He had a lot of great information and made the trip very enjoyable
Alonso was a great guide! Would highly recommend
Such an amazing time!! Kyrell was the best guide!! Showed us so many cool things and was super knowledgeable, relatable and personable!!! Would def recommend booking this excursion and hopefully you get kyrell as your guide!!!!
Swish was amazing! Very knowledgeable and fun!
Saw a shark, sea turtles, stingray, spotted eagle ray and a bunch sea fish.
Alonzo was an excellent host who also does the Night Kayak from the Westin. Incredible and informative experience! There was nothing we didn’t oooo and awwww at. Grab extra sunscreen for your shins, eat a good breakfast, hydrate in advance and bring water shoes. You won’t regret it!
Alonso was wonderful. He shared so many cool stories with us. Poison tree was a bit freaky 😂. We will sleep well tonight !
Alonzo and Nathaniel were knowledgeable awesome and energetic. Had a fantastic time would do it again and would recommend. Thank you Rosemary D. From Georgia
Alonso was great!! Very scenic experiment. Education.
We had a wonderful time with our awesome guide Alonso, kayaking, hiking and snorkeling around the gorgeous mangroves and cas cay. Our party had different experience levels with each activity but it was doable for everyone and we had a great time. Alonso was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, found various sea creatures for us to interact with, brought us to picturesque spots, and provided history and entertainment along the way. Overall great day, highly recommend this tour.
Alonso Potter was an amazing Guide for us today. We were so fortunate to have him give us a tour just for the two of us on my 65th Birthday. He is so knowledgeable and was so patient with us two seniors looking for extreme adventure- Alonso brought it and then some. We wish we had him in our home state of Oregon because he rocks! We were so happy to experience rain on a portion of our kayaking as we felt we brought it with us to help the Virgin Islands get some much needed rain. Make sure to ask for Alonso Potter as you will not be disappointed and walk away with an experience of a lifetime. Tim and Linda
The kayaking between the mangroves on both sides was incredibly relaxing and our guide Alonso did a great job telling us where the currents would be along the way. The hikes had absolutely gorgeous scenery and so much wildlife, it was so cool to learn from someone who grew up here about the different islands and their history. The snorkelling, while intensive at times, was also one of the best snorkelling experiences I’ve ever had. It had such diverse marine life, and again Alonso was awesome about pointing out different fish and telling us what they were. It was a fantastic experience.
We had a great time with Alonso on this tour! The kayaking was fun and hiking and snorkeling had great views. Alonso was super informed about the scenery and nature and we had a great time spending our day with him. Highly recommend!!
Happy, knowledgeable and friendly guide Swish made this trip a blast! Our group included 3 in our thirties and one in their low seventies. We saw a barracuda while snorkeling, took our hike down the island (really a stroll but you should absolutely pack water shoes since you’re in and out of the water and sand), and got around easily on the kayaks- they provide doubles to make it less strenuous. They had plenty of cold water bottles and took pictures w a digital camera that was great under water. Have a cute shop with a ton of sun blocking t shirts as well! Highly recommend!
Alonzo potter is amazing. Had a really fun time.
Alonso had great energy, knew so much info, and helped motivate to try new things! Over all great experience! A major bonus is how pretty it was!
**ALONSO POTTER** is great! Very informative and had a blast!
Our guide Alonso was amazing. He was friendly, made us feel right at home, knowledgeable of the island and mangroves. I would recommend him a o anyone I know that comes to St. Thomas to take this tours.
Alonso was amazing! Took us on a hike and saw all sorts of amazing things! Great kayak and swim/snorkel a saw tons of fish!
Alonzo potter was truly the best. We had the best day of our lives, seeing all kinds of marine life. He was great with my daughter, took great photos of us, helped us learn about the wildlife, and overall created an amazing vibe. Highly recommend.
It was super fun just seeing a huge tarpon in the lagoon, and just touching the sea urchins. Our tour guide Alonso is really cool, had us laughing and had us laughing and chilling while on the kayak.
Swish delivered. Man knew how to find the fish.
Our guide was awesome. Very informative. The stuff that we saw was awesome. Everything about it was great!
Perez did a great job. Really informative and made sure our group stayed safe
Alonso was amazing and super knowledgeable about the area. He gave us recommendations of activities and food places to check out. Would definitely recommend having him as your guide.
Best snorkeling and kayaking, great views from the hike. With the number 1 tour guide in the world Alonso
Alonzo is the best guide. Super chill guy, great vibes! We saw sting rays, barracudas and much more! If you want the best tour experience book your trip with Alonzo!!!!
Alonzo was an amazing guide..super informative and friendly.
Alonzo was a killer tour guide with a great sense of humor, we kept eachother laughing a majority of the tour and got to see and experience some beautiful scenery. Our guide was also very educational for all of our stops, I left with a bunch of new knowledge and a smile, thank you!
Alonzo was awesome, great vibes, cool energy, and insane amount of fish during the snorkeling part!
Had an amazing time!! Ended up by ourselves with our guide Alonzo, and he totally matched our groups energy, as well as personalizing the tour to our specific interests. Would absolutely recommend!
Alonzo was an amazing guide!! Highly knowledgeable and extremely funny. We learned a lot of the local ecological makeup and were able to see many types of fish and other sea life. We chose the picture package, and were very glad we did, as we didn’t even bring our phones. Alonzo took some of the most beautiful photos to include family photos we have ever taken. If you are looking for a family adventure worth every penny, this is the one for you! Best 5 hours of our vacation! Don’t forget to ask for Alonzo! He is awesome!
Fantastic adventure for the family. Alonzo was a great guide- super knowledgeable and entertaining. Definitely recommend! Whole family loved it.
We had a great time! Alonso was an incredible guide and knew a ton about the wildlife and islands! We saw barracuda, spotted eagle rays, and tons of other tropical fish. This was a great way to spend a day and our family loved it!
I loved our tour it was amazing. SWIS is very funny, cool, and chill especially with his dad jokes. I genuinely liked how long we went because it was a very great experience, alot of work out, but I loved it. The sensory was amazing got some very nice breeze, saw wild life, and got to hold some cool sea creatures. I wasn't the one that payed for the tour so really good. To me it had the good amount of people. The best part of the hole tour was the snorkling ; saw some really pretty fish and sea turtles. I really enjoyed my stay had so much fun. BIGG UPPSS TO SWIS 😁✌🏾🇻🇮
We had a fun time! Totally worth it with how beautiful the entire area is.
This experience was amazing and worth every cent. Alonzo was a phenomenal tour guide. From the love tunnel to the various sea creatures and soldier crabs along the way I learned so much. Not to mention it was a good work out and well balanced. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a little adventure.
