The Ghosts Of Piracy Past - Tropical Treasure Hunt

It was a very fun experience! Must do while in st thimas

This was amazing! An Elaborate treasure hunt that was perfect for our young girls (ages 10 and 7). The Captain Jack Sparrow guide was committed to the character and very kind to my children! They had huge smiles on their faces through every clue and new discovery. This was masterfully done, a real unexpected treat for my family, and a highlight of the trip for sure! I can’t recommend it highly enough. Loved it!

We booked this adventure for our girl’s trip and we were not disappointed. Our adventure included some incredible history at the beginning of our hunt. Then off to night kayaking which was amazing through the mangroves. All while seeing wildlife that we had never seen before all the while still being on a treasure hunt. We walked through a haunted trail but beware of the pirates hiding in the trees. We found our clues, then off to eat the best pizza. The adventure was still not over, we had clues to figure out where the treasure was buried! So much fun!! The treasure hunt was well planned out. Yes, we finally found the buried treasure! This adventure is highly recommended.

The Halloween theme hunt was informative and fun. We had such a great time. I was worth every minute. Transportation and refreshments was provided to the different location. The view on top of the castle was breathtaking. 15 out of 10.

This treasure hunt was so much fun. We definitely would consider doing more if we had the time. We chose this specific one for the admission into the pirate museum, and because we have little ones and were unsure how hard the tasks would be. The kids loved the hunt and said it was one of the best things of the whole trip. The guide will help direct you, but lets your family enjoy and figure out the task on your own. You get a walkie-talkie if you need hints and they check in time to time. We were able to figure out the clues with no hints and still look around the museum a little. Once we figured out where the treasure was buried, they personally take you there (or you can follow in your own car), and transport you back. They also give you the chance to pay extra for a pirate actor if available. We had Goldilocks and he was amazing. He was so wonderful with the kids and he taught us a lot of the history of the island. He was an excellent addition to the experience!

We took the Ghost of Piracy Past tour with my 3 teenage boys. I won’t spoil anything, but it included an indoor escape room, and kayaking through the mangroves at night in search of clues to ultimately find the treasure. We had a great time with Anthony and although there were a few minor snafus on our hunt that Anthony couldn’t control, we had a great time and solved the mystery without any help. It was great having the whole family work together and enjoy each other’s company on the 5 hour tour. I highly recommend!

We did this treasure hunt while on vacation in St. Thomas and it was so much fun! They pick you up and take you to each stop, it included pizza and two drinks per person, and there was a 30 min escape room. The kids loved finding clues and piecing then together to find the buried treasure! There was an unexpected kayaking trip to a haunted island and the guide there was great!! We have kids ages 21-7 and there was something for each of them. Highly recommend!!! Only constructive criticism is it was a long venture (5.5 hrs) and it was advertised as serving "dinner" which was only a pizza. Other than that, Anthony and his team were great!

This was definitely the highlight of our trip. Anthony was beyond amazing at curating the most fun experience for us. We got to see some really cool parts of the island and hear about the history of the pirates that once sailed these seas. Do not miss out on this. You really cannot go wrong with this treasure hunt.

What an awesomely fun evening! We had a group of adults, mostly related to each other (grown children, spouses, close family friends, etc.) We started with a very informative walk through the museum at Bluebeards Castle, with an incredibly knowledgeable local guide. Anyone interested in history at all would find this part of the event very fascinating. We all learned quite a bit about STT history. About the puzzle, the clues and props were well put together, challenging without being impossible, and fun to work on with a group. I especially appreciated that the props were sturdy enough to work with, and not prone to falling apart when we looked at them. The adventure took us across the island and into several local places that we had either not visited before, or not really explored before. With the incentive to look for clues within the businesses, we enjoyed exploring these places more than we otherwise would have -- but we will be back to several of them! I can't believe how much we had been missing! The paddle out through the mangroves was very cool after dark. We had a slight difficulty the first time we tried to go, as there was a lightning storm, and we (our guide, us, and the people at EcoTours all talked to each other about the decision) decided for safety reasons not to get onto the water at that time. So we actually ended up spreading our adventure across two nights, which could have been terrible, but was in fact a really good choice for us. We loved the good communication throughout the experience, both before, during, and after our adventure. We really appreciated how Anthony and his crew worked together to be sure that our experience was everything it needed to be. No spoilers here, but do expect some jump scares! :-) It was exactly the right amount of spooky/scary for us, not too intense, but plenty of adrenaline for those who need it. We will definitely be back to do some of the other adventures from this company. Highly recommended.

We had such a blast! The crew were so helpful and fun to hang with. We will definitely schedule other adventures with these guys! Book it, you won’t regret it!

Great fun! Our group of 3 couples were able to find the clues and solve the puzzle to find the treasure. We started off at Bluebeards Castle with a lively bit of history and a close look at the real treasures that have been found near there. The view from the top was amazing. Then we followed the clues to drinks and then adventure on the kayak tour. We got out of the kayaks and walked through the mangroves to find a pirate and a few crabs and some scary characters. ( be sure you have applied loads of bug spray before getting in the kayaks) Next we took the van to our Secret location for pizza ( delicious) and another round of drinks before the search on the beach for buried treasure. The creepy ghostly pirates tried to keep us from stealing their treasure. And scared the p… out of me! It was a fun evening. It took over 6 hours , which was my only complaint. We were never bored, but it did take longer than I expected, making for a very late return to our boat

It was great fun! As first time visitors to St Thomas we loved that we got to explore different cool spots and activities across the Island and have have a few drinks along the way! Our guide Ryan was really attentive and accommodating to our needs. He made sure it was a smooth transition between all of our activities.

Treasure hunt was a wonderful experience, Anthony did an excellent job of running the show, and the night kayaking hosted by eco tours was unforgettable!

My husband and I took our four kids on the treasure hunt during a recent visit to St. Thomas. Our kids’ ages range from 5 to 13. It was awesome! We learned a lot and had a great time as a family. Honestly we enjoyed this way more than we expected and way more compared to other similar activities on the mainland. The team was very professional and was heavily invested in the activity and our needs.

Fantastic Pirate Adventure. We contacted Anthony directly to see what he would recommend as there were just us two couples. He arranged a perfect personally planned pirate adventure that was the highlight of our trip to St Thomas. From the hotel pickup, the viewing of shipwreck treasures and clues at Bluebeards Castle, a few drink and clue stops along the way, an exciting and spooky nighttime kayaking journey through the mangroves for more clues, delicious dinner of fish tacos, more clues and tromping along the beach with our lantern searching for the lost and buried pirate treasure, this was an amazing and magical experience! Such attention to detail! Anthony and his pirate crew were always surprising us with the next site, scare, activity and clue along our adventure. Best tour ever! You will not be disappointed!

This is a must-do adventure when you’re in St Thomas! We booked the ghost kayak adventure and had an absolute blast. The owner is beyond knowledgeable, the staff were amazing, and my small group had the most fun. We saved this for our last night on the island and I’m incredibly grateful we did. Anyone from amateur puzzlers to larger families, kids, and groups would enjoy this adventure. Our friend was even a first time kayaker and the entire team took her under their wing to make sure she was safe and felt comfortable. This is a tour that feels like it’s run by family and is definitely one to not miss!

Six of us ranging in age from 10 to 76 took part in this hunt for buried treasure. The clues scattered in the Pirates/Shipwreck Museum kept us all engaged and paying attention to the various exhibits. Shuttling from there to the place where the treasure was buried (no spoilers here!) made the day even more interesting. Anthony could not have been more helpful in understanding and accommodating our interests. Luckily we had the museum essentially to ourselves, which alleviated Covid concerns. Highly recommend for a family outing!

This was certainly one of the most unique pass time experiences we've had in a very long time! The problem solving was fun and the pirate facts enlightening. The most striking aspect of this experience was how personally attentive the owner and employees of this company were - We both felt like VIPs through all of it, the entire afternoon. Playing and laughing together over all the amusing and creative touches created a memory we will both *treasure*.... Definitely worth repeating!

We had an amazing time on our tropical treasure hunt. The experience made the museum exponentially more fun! We enjoyed finishing the hunt at a beach near by. We highly recommend it! Phillip 9 and Nicolas 7 were a great age for the perfect adventure!

This was a fun scary adventure. The team was knowledgeable and made the experience som much fun. I would highly recommend it!

Truly wonderful and unique way to learn island history. Anthony and his crew went out of their way to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. Absolutely an adventure you don't' want to miss!

What an incredible experience from start to finish! The hunt was immersive, authentic, and scary. Anthony was very helpful and it was clear that us having a great experience was his top priority. He was awesome. Starting off at Bluebeard's Castle we met Sean who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about pirates and treasure hunting. The view at the top was amazing. Kayaking with Dehayden was fun and spooky. He was an entertaining guide who really elevated the haunted theme. Overall I highly recommend this to people who want to see some cool spots on the island and feel part of the storied past of pirates on St. Thomas. We can't wait to visit the island again and do another treasure hunt!

This is such a unique excursion! Our group of teens and adults enjoyed this tremendously. Would recommend 100%. Upon arrival we were given a backpack of supplies and found clues as we went through the night. Especially memorable was kayaking by moonlight. Our guides thought of everything we might need along the way.

We absolutely loved the Ghosts of Piracy Past. Anthony and his team were amazing! Every step of the entire trip was more fun then the last! If your in St Thomas with family or friends you have to check this out!

Awesome experience, Anthony was extremely helpful and fun, would highly recommend this excursion! A+

Our family of three, two adults and one teen had a blast on The Ghosts of Piracy Past hunt! From the beginning, Anthony was fantastic to work with. He was easy to contact, helped us figure out the best hunt for our family with genuine interest, and made it very simple to book and complete the treasure hunt. We are a family who likes adventure and history, so this was just perfect for us, and it was a great family evening activity in St. Thomas!

Good time that starts with some historical information and ends with a solid kayaking tour and rum. Great way to kill 5 hours, bring friends.

Great adventure with great people! Highly reccommend - nice mix of history, adventure, team work, and lots of laughter.

We had the best time doing the adult treasure hunt! Anthony was great and made sure we had a blast. He helped us all around the island and made sure we had all the clues we needed. We even ran over late and he made sure we still got to finish the treasure hunt and never once rushed us. It was so fun learning about the pirate history of the island, going around and seeing different areas, and the nighttime kayak tour was great. We even got to hike around a small island at night looking for clues. We learned so much about the island and history but also had a great time stopping at different bars and hanging out as a group. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. A must-do while on St Thomas!

This was one of the coolest adventures I have been on. The clues kept you on your toes and the night kayaking was a true treat. I 100% recommend this adventure. Learning a little about the pirate history is definitely a bonus!

It was an amazing experience. I've travelled quite a bit but I have never seen such a great mixture of advanture, history, and fun all in one. Honestly, I couldnt tell them apart. Highly recommend

Got to say, was pleasantly surprised. A friend suggested we try it and at first glance thought it was something targeted more for children but was I wrong! ( however i learned they do have specific ones tailored for younger kids ) Our experience was a taste of the whole experience. We got to learn specks of history about buildings we locals pass by everyday. Also, if you live here, or don’t, and think you’ve seen all the views, wait until you see the amazing view at the blue beards castle. Second stop was perfect to get our mid-treasure-hunt alcohol fix. Lastly, ended at a restaurant known for its succulent food. And through this all, we were busy solving clues I’d bet most children wouldn’t be able to solve. Was certainly a great way for team building and bonding amongst friends. Can definitely see it as a great exercise to boost morale amongst coworkers.

Amazing Race in the Virgin Islands! We got a group of six on a Saturday night. Pirates, drinks, kayaking - how fun! It was more than that. We learned a lot about St Thomas’ history during our clue deciphering. And we learned a lot about each other- friends and work associates. It’s all about teamwork. Plus we got to see a lot of cool things on St Thomas and patronize the local businesses and people. Well worth it! If you’re here for a few days or live on island, sign up and enjoy the fun! So rewarding to find the treasure... if you are worthy!
