June 1, 2021

We always enjoy having travel writers come visit our island and capture all of the things that make the USVI so special, particularly on video. It really brings the magic of the destination alive and helps set the scene for first time visitors doing their research.


If you’re coming to the US Virgin Islands, even if you’ve visited before, taking an island nature tour can be a great way to see another side of the islands. Our expert guides can point out tropical flora and fauna you may never have noticed before and take you to spots that would otherwise be inaccessible on your own.


We were recently fortunate to have the blogger behind Travels of Sarah Fay come to visit us. She joined us for two days of tours – one day on St. Thomas and one day on St. John. She put together the awesome video below to show you what you can expect when joining us for an ecotour.

You can read more about Sarah’s experiences in the USVI on her blog:

We’ve also got some questions after this video about the guide’s watercolor octopus rash guard – if you want one too, you’re in luck! You can find it here.


Thank you to Sarah Fay for the great video, and for sharing your candid experiences with us. We’re so glad you were able to overcome your fears of snorkeling in the ocean and that you had such a great time!
