Reviews


Kevin M.

Kevin Marc and Slim were so friendly and educational. Taught us a lot about the ecosystem and the area. Highlights include beautiful paddling through the mangroves and hermit crab racing. Best part was when Slim took us way out to snorkel on the reef. Saw so many fish from small to large in a variety of species. Snorkeling in just a foot of water was a really unique experience to get to look at coral life up close. ★★★★★

This was our best experience in St. Thomas! The calm mangrove waters made paddling easy, and snorkeling was a great first-time experience for our 12-year-old son. ★★★★★

Seaside

Kyrell was an awesome guide for our party of three athletic ladies in their sixties. How lucky we were to have a small group! He guided us through the mangroves and to the beach while pointing out the wildlife and background of the grove. Holding a jellyfish was a treat! Highly recommend this tour if you want personal attention. ★★★★★
