TAKE THE TOUR EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT!

Do you know what’s one of the things we hear the most from our guests who join us on one of our Mangrove Lagoon tours?


They’re SO GLAD they took time during their stay on St. Thomas to explore beyond the beach.

The same goes for those who reside in the USVI. They’re always shocked it took them so long to venture into this incredible part of St. Thomas.


So the big question is: What are YOU waiting for?


Whether you’re on St. Thomas for vacation, or are a Virgin Islands local, there are plenty of ways to have an adventure in the mangroves. You can rent a kayak or stand-up paddle board along with snorkel gear to head out on your own, or you can join us for a guided tour.


Our Cas Cay Kayak + Hike + Snorkel tour is our most popular tour, and is a great place to start.

ABOUT THE TOUR

Paddle through winding waterways in the unique Mangrove Lagoon as you head out to the secluded and shallow turquoise waters of Cas Cay. Here you’ll see an array of colorful reef fish in their aquatic playground, spot Caribbean birds overhead, and explore the subtropical forest teeming with hermit crabs. Your guide will lead you on a leisurely hike to the volcanic tidal pool cliffs, home of the famous Red Point Blow Hole, where a can’t-miss photo opportunity awaits. Afterwards, you’ll kayak back to our home base and can finish your day with a fresh meal in the mangroves at Bikinis Dockside Bar and Grill.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Here are some comments from recent guests who joined us for a tour:

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT

We’re also excited to share that we’re now offering Caribbean BBQ dinner service following our tours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (more nights to come, stay tuned!).
