Sven was great. Loved seeing the turtles. Surf too rough to do the reef part of the trip. We were credited $20 per person for the shortened tour.

Was a great experience, I liked the calmer bay to see the sea turtles and then the second location was out further and more of a challenge
Had a great time, it was a nice change to go from a calm bay to see the sea turtles to the second location where we were able to swim out in the choppier water. Had a lot of fun
Conner is an amazing guide and we had a great time! We saw fish, squids, starfish, turtles and much more! The kayak was awesome and our guide was incredibly patient with us (that kept going to the wrong direction!). Absolutely recommended. Thanks again!
This is an excellent way to explore the untouched beaches in St. Thomas. Patrick was our tour guide and Man! Was he good! He knew his stuff right from all the flora and fauna on the island to taking us on an off road track with exceptional skills. We had a really fun time and every minute of it was worth it. The reef where Patrick took us was beyond this world.
I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the snorkeling was in St. Thomas. The reefs took a hit during the hurricane in 2017 but the wildlife is coming back strong. Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable about the island and walked us through the flora and fauna, always asking what we were interested in to help tailor the tour. We were with just one other couple which made for a fantastic small group experience. The turtles in Brewer's Bay were friendly and the fish out in the ocean reef were beautiful. We even saw an octopus, sting ray and reef squid. Highly recommend if you want a little more adventurous of a kayak and snorkel tour as the ocean current keeps it interesting.
Sven was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. The trip was a blast, and very safe (Thanks to Sven) and we reccomended it to any active couple looking for a great adventure. We definitely hope to book this experience again someday.
We enjoyed this tour a lot! Sven was a great guide, helpful, very patient and passionate. Would definite recommend to anyone who goes to St Thomas.
My family and I loved this sea turtle and kayaking excursion! Our tour guide was Sven, and he was super great! Very nice and knowledgeable! They were extremely good at communicating before and after the excursion which was so great! Our group consisted of me and my two other family members and I really liked the small group experience. It was very engaging and fun, this is for anyone that wants to explore St. Thomas and all that it has to offer! No prior experience is needed. Sven was extremely helpful in instructing our family and we all felt comfortable and safe the entire time! They also take photos of you throughout the excursion! Highly recommend this fun adventure!
This was an amazing tour. Sven was a great guide. Great equipment very knowledgeable. Loved having a small tour. They took amazing pictures of our day, provided lunch, everything we would need. They also had great communication with us. Thank you for an amazing day. I would HIGHLY recommend this adventure to everyone.
If you are visiting St Thomas this tour is a must! I have booked many tour activities around the world while traveling and this was absolutely one of my most favorites! The Picnic lunch was delicious. The locations we visited were incredible!!! Our tour guide Sven was so patient with teaching the skills we needed and knowledgeable about the species of wild life he showed us, also he was very eco conscious and is about protecting the animals he showed us as well as the habitats they live in- which is so important so we can enjoy for many years to come! Also this tour is well worth the money spent! We saw So many types of fish, turtles, birds and rays and by the end of the trip we came out of the water completely happy and tired! I would recommend this tour to anyone that loves the oceans and loves adventures no matter their level of experience with snorkeling and kayaking and for sure I will be back and booking this tour again in the near future!
We had the BEST time on our tour! It was just my husband & I!!!! What a great surprise!! We kayaked, had lunch, snorkeled! Great communication, they called BEFORE we got on our cruise to ask us what we wanted to eat & to confirm pick up times & location!!! We loved missing out on all the crowds from our cruise ship & felt safe, never worried about time!
Its a guided kayak and snorkeling tour. I was a first timer with snorkeling and the guide was so helpful that he transitioned me from freaking out to enjoying the snorkeling! Michelle was very helpful with everything -- providing complete details, taking care of all my mistakes here and there, with everything really. Its a fun trip and I am sure you will love it!
The staff was knowledgeable and very attentive. I don’t like to be shuffled around playing follow the leader in a group of people. Billie and Jay were always jumping from one person to another explaining talking snapping pictures. It couldn’t have been a better tour! They were amazing with the group and with their surroundings!
My boyfriend and I were on a cruise but wanted something personal and unique aside from the overcrowded cruise sponsored excursions. I asked if we could do a private tour or at least one with only a few folks and Michelle was so accommodating! She met us at the ship to provide the transfer to the meeting place (highly recommend) and Sven took it from there. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgable and fun guide! Sven took amazing photos for us so we could spend our time enjoying the beautiful sites without having to mess with our cell phones or cameras. This was the absolute highlight of our time in the Caribbean and I highly recommend to anyone that wants that lifetime memory. Michelle and Sven do an outstanding job with this outstanding tour!
