Wonderful! - Kayaking to Solomon Beach and snorkeling to Honeymoon Beach was terrific. We were a three generation family group of 10 and Greg, our guide, was very attentive towards all, particularly the grandma in the group, making sure we were safe and pointing out the gorgeous underwater sites. What a treat to swim amongst beautiful fish, coral, sea turtles and a stingray. Highly recommend!

This company goes above and beyond! - My friend and I had an excellent time on our trip with Greg. He and Josh clearly care about the customer’s experience and safety. We were experienced kayak/snorkelers but the other couple had never done either. We all had a great time! This crew’s first priority seems to be making sure everything is as good as it can get despite any challenge. The weather was okay, but they more than made up for it. A variety of gear was also made available. This is also a great place to just rent or buy equipment. Thanks so much!

Awesome snorkeling w/ tons of gorgeous fish! - We had a fantastic kayaking and snorkeling experience! Greg & Michelle were very knowledgeable, super kind and attentive, and really fun to hang out with. We kayaked in double kayaks for about 20 min each way, to a very beautiful snorkeling spot, where we saw so many colorful fish, sting rays and sea turtles. Highly recommend!

Scottie is AWESOME!!! - My wife and I had an absolute blast on this activity! Scottie was our guide and he was absolutely phenomenal! We can't recommend him enough. We saw turtles, a nurse shark, and lots of other types of marine life. He also explained a lot of the history around STJ which we appreciated.

Incredible Day of Snorkeling and Kayaking - We had an incredible time, excursion of a lifetime! Scotty was a great tour guide with a wealth of knowledge of St.John. We saw turtles, schools of fish, jellyfish and a crab inside of a conch shell. 10/10 recommend this excursion if your in St.John!

Excellent experience - Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to find starfish and shrimp we could touch while snorkeling. We were able to see sea turtles and a crazy amount of other beautiful sea life and tropical fish. Kayaking was a good work out and all such a fun adventure!

Amazing adventure - It was a great experience and quite the adventure! We saw some wonderful underwater creatures. Kayaking and snorkeling together is a great way to explore the ocean but is very physically taxing. We were thoroughly exhausted by the end but really enjoyed it.
