Wonderful way to enjoy what St Thomas has to offer!! - Conner was awesome!! He was extremely knowledgeable. We saw 5 sea turtles, 4 sting rays, and a host of fish that Conner told us about. He showed us some different trees as well. The lunch was amazing home made bread and cookie!! And the kayak beach was stunningly beautiful! We also had some great views on the drive to do the kayaking. It was the best money we could have spent!! The pictures include a bunch of underwater pictures of the sea life and several pictures of you enjoying the experience. Highly recommend!!

Perfect day in St. Thomas - We were only in St. Thomas for a few hours on a cruise ship stop, and this was the perfect way to spend it. Our guide Sven is very knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. He was very chill and asked what we were interested in, so he took the time to tell us about the trees, termites, and spiders. When we snorkeled with the turtles, Sven knew what to look for in the water to find us several turtles to observe. Snorkeling with the turtles was as amazing as we'd expected. He offered options for the kayaking locations based on our level of adventurousness, and was really good at reading our energy level. Lunch was included which hit the spot without making us feel overly full before kayaking. As my family's photographer, I am often not in many pictures, so I really appreciate that Sven was taking photos with his GoPro of both the turtles and us, and the photos were emailed to us a few days later. He stayed conscious of the time to get all the adventure in without feeling rushed, and get us back to our ship on time. Highly recommend this individualized small group tour!

Turtles! Turtles! Turtles! - Had an amazing experience snorkeling and kayaking. Our guide Sven was terrific. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local plant and wildlife.
The snorkeling was everything we could have wanted it to be. We saw at least 8 separate sea turtles, tarpon, barracuda, and various rays and beautiful tropical fish.
The off-road excursion to a secluded beach for lunch and kayaking added a feeling of adventure to an already exciting trip.
I would highly recommend this trip.
