The BEST day on the island. - St Thomas was the last stop of our cruise, we are a family of 4 with 2 kids ages 8 and 10.
We had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with Meatball. A private tour of the island is what we wanted and absolutely what we got. Meatball took us to multiple deserted beaches where we could snorkel and walk with the kids. When an organised boat trip arrived with 50 cruise passengers, we packed up and hit up another beauty spot. The JEEP was essential to go down the little tracks to paradise.
We didn’t stop learning… or laughing. The kids had a blast with Meatball…. They are still talking about him 2 days later, he is an absolute treasure. We learnt so much about the island.
Aside from being the best tour guide of our 6 cruise stops, he is passionate about protecting the natural beauty of the island. Once we were settled snorkelling or enjoying the beach with a beer in hand, Meatball would tidy up after less conscientious members of the island, collecting litter from wherever we stopped.
Booking the tour was the best decision we made, to enjoy St Thomas in the short time we had on the island. Would do the same trip again… and again….

Amazing Tour with a very knowledgeable guide! - Pickup at our remote ABnB was right on time. Thomas Hargrave is a spectacular guide. We wanted a more nitty gritty get to know the island and people kind of tour. He went over the top! So much fun to have a host who seemed to know EVERYONE on St Thomas. This has to be one of the very best tour values we've ever experienced. Thank you Thomas so much!

Absolutely the best tour available - Hands down one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Jeep Surfari gave us access to stunning spots we never would have found without a local, and the whole day felt more like exploring with a friend than being on a formal tour. Our guide Thomas was warm, funny, and genuinely cared about showing us the real islands. He truly went above and beyond not only sharing all the best sights, but also taking photos for us along the way. If you’re visiting the USVI, this is a must-do experience. We’ll absolutely be back and will book with Thomas again.

Amazing Jeep Tour around the Island - Amazing Jeep tour experience. We did this as a cruise excursion. Easy pick up and communication at the port. Private tour for the same price as a group off the cruise. Our Guide, Meatball, was amazing! Very knowledgeable and great with our 2 kids - 11 and 7. Kept them engaged the entire time in history and facts about the island. Would book again when we return in future!

A Must-Do Excursion- Book Meatball!! - An unforgettable way to begin our birthday trip. Meatball sat the bar high for expectations for all others to follow. From the beginning to the end, our Jeep Safari was made special.
Although I’m sure they have an itinerary set of what they are suppose to shows guest however, Meatball inquired with us of what we had in mind first. He explained how the day would unfold seamlessly always ensuring if we were good with the plan. Not only were we comfortable, but so was our teenage daughters.
As educators we were throughly impressed countless times with Meatball’s accuracy and depth of knowledge of St. Thomas—its history, culture, and hidden treasures. He not only took us to the us to the tourist locations; but also shared some of his favorite hidden spots, that were breathtaking. Meatball’s ability to maneuver the jeep through tough spots and winding roads was impressive.
Like most families our goal was to capture as many moments in photos as possible. When it became difficult and we wanted everyone in a photo - no worries Meatball was there. He captured every angle in multiple shots. We never felt rushed throughout the duration of the tour. And although we had a second excursion planned for the day when the offer to extend the tour was made we happily accepted canceling our other plans.
As the day came to an end our desire to have authentic Caribbean food increased Meatball surprised us with a trip to his favorite restaurant the Chicken Fry. An unforgettable stop with amazing food.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable adventure in St. Thomas, book your tour with Meatball through Jeep Safari. Pro-tip: Do it in advance to ensure you get him. God blessed us as we just so happened to book the day before once we arrived on the island.
We’d double his rating if we could!

BEST Jeep Safari Experience in St. Thomas – Ask for Meatball! - From start to finish, our birthday Jeep Safari with Meatball was beyond amazing. He made us feel like family from the moment he picked us up. Before the tour even began, he took the time to get to know us and walk us through what to expect.
His knowledge of St. Thomas; its history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour truly special. We visited spots that weren’t just tourist attractions, but meaningful parts of the island that most visitors never see. We laughed, learned, and enjoyed every moment. Meatball also acted as out personal photographer getting every shot and angle.
We had other activities planned that day, but because Meatball had time to extend our tour, we chose to stay with him instead and it was absolutely the right choice. If you want an unforgettable experience in St. Thomas, book with Meatball. If we could give him 20 stars, we would!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! - We are staying in St. Thomas and were picked up right at our hotel for a full-day Jeep tour in St. John — out at 8:00 AM and back at 5:30 PM — and it was hands-down the highlight of our trip.
Our guide, Thomas M. Hargrave, was the absolute star of the show. He is extraordinary. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in great hands. He shared incredible history and island stories, kept us laughing all day, and somehow mixed adventure, education, and pure fun perfectly.
He showed us views and hidden gems we would have never found on our own. We learned so much about St. John, the culture, the people, the land, and the history — and did it all while laughing till our stomachs hurt.
We truly felt like we were spending the day with a local legend.
On top of that, Thomas owns his own cab company and also took care of our airport transfers — seamless, professional, and on time. His family even owns restaurants and hotels in the islands… this man is the REAL deal and deeply rooted in the community.
It felt like a blessing to spend the day with him.
Do not hesitate to book this tour. Worth every dollar and every minute of your day.
Unforgettable experience.
We will absolutely do this again!
