Good workout and not for the weak - Not an easy experience as you have to kayak up wind for the first half then downwind the second half. Great guide but didn’t see much of anything as in turtles or stingrays.

so much fun! - Such a brilliant day! Swish and Jonathan were so knowledgable of the area and their discipline, had so many fun facts and stories to tell us. We learned so much about the wildlife and you can tell they truly love what they do and what they’re involved in. Loads of fish to see in the mangrove and lots of interactive with the wildlife too. We saw a ray which Swish managed to film for us on our go pro. It was the perfect length given the paddling and the heat involved. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun, active day out in St Thomas.

Awesome Kayak and Snorkel Tour - It is better than described! Our guide, Brett responded to our experience level and pointed out wildlife and provided some history of the area. The best snorkel of our USVI vacation.

Mangrove Kayak & Snorkel Tour (Family of 4!) - We had a wonderful experience on our excursion. The pricepoint and duration of the tour was just right for us. We lucked out with a “private” tour with just our family booked and our awesome guide, Keithlyn, allowing for us to be the pace setters— and not feeling rushed. Keithlyn was very knowledgeable and helpful, as we navigated our kiddos’ first-ever snorkeling experience (ages 7 & 10). There was lots of fish and other sea life to see. It was a very chill trip; an easy paddle, too, even going against the current out to Cas Cay. We are experienced kayakers, but this was a breeze and simple to navigate. We purchased the digital photo package and can’t wait to see all of the images Keithlyn captured for us, including underwater! We found it really helpful to have cold waters provided to us during the tour— our guide had a cooler on the back of his boat. The candy bar provided was a nice little treat, but we also packed a light snack that we stuck in our little bags (chips, goldfish). I recommend full-brimmed hats, long-sleeved UV-shirts, and lots of sunscreen for your journey. The Aqua Cases we had for our phones were a great addition too. We kept our towels in the car, but we did get a locker for a small fee, for wallets and car keys, since we did not want to run the risk of them getting wet, etc.. Lastly, the little on-site shop was also convenient, to pick up a couple of things, including a small souvenir. We would definitely recommend this trip to others.

Great family friendly kayak tour! - Such a great experience! It was our son’s (3.5 yo) first kayak ride and he loved it. He sat in the middle and cheered us on. When we got to the snorkeling point one of us took turns staying back with him in the little Bay Area where we parked the kayaks. We saw sting rays, fish, jellyfish, coral, and more! Our guide was excellent as well- Keithlyn rocks.
