Great experience - This was an awesome experience. Our guide Sven was very knowledgeable and seemed to really love his job and has a lot of passion for it. I did not know pictures were included which was a nice surprise so you don't have to carry your own phone or camera is you don't want to. Enjoyed a sandwich on the beach, which pretty much ended the tour, was a perfect way to finish. Would definitely recommend.

The BEST part of our entire trip! - My husband and I recently went on a cruise and St. Thomas was one of our ports. This was the best part of our entire trip! The tour was amazing and lasted most of the day, which was great. Sven was very knowledgeable about the island, from the fish and sea turtles to the birds and plants. I was a little scared for the kayaking part, but Sven gave us a lesson before we went and by the time we got into the water, I was very comfortable with it. We saw multiple sea turtles and Sven took pictures so that we didn't have to worry about how we would document it. I loved that the group was so small because it was easier to follow along. Lunch was delicious, too! After the tour, Michelle even offered to drive us downtown so that we could see the shops and restaurants. I would book this tour again in a heartbeat! Thank you for making St. Thomas so wonderful for us!!!

Inaccurate Description - Our guide was nice, and very knowledgeable about the island's plants and wildlife. He showed us many plants which, was enjoyable. He took pictures for us that turned out well. He was knowledgeable and helpful with the kayaks. The lunch was good. I would suggest it.
I do have a few issues with the trip. The description is inaccurate. You kayak from the parking area maybe 10 minutes and then most of the time you are snorkeling, which is not what we expected. The area has fish and coral, but it wasn't be best spot we saw on our trip. We started swimming in a sheltered area. The guide encouraged us to leave the bay to see better wildlife. We went really far from our kayaks. Then we got caught in the currents. It took a lot of effort and swimming to get back, against the currents. I was concerned, but we all made it back safely.
