Amazing snorkeling adventure - This was an amazing experience. Captain Steve and Darian knew where the best spots were to find sea turtles. We saw around 10 sea turtles, a nurse shark, sting ray a spotted eagle sting ray. Darian makes a great rum punch lol. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to swim with sea turtles you will not be disappointed.

Very Cool, Well Organized Tour - Top flight experience from beginning to end. Our tour included a taxi pickup at the cruise ship dock. Driver found us easily, took us on a scenic route. Tour started right on time. Captain and mate were ultra professional and fun. They took us to two great snorkeling spots. The boat was very clean and had great shade. Sodas and drinks served after snorkeling. Would highly recommend.

Good Adventure - The excursion was good but I found that buying the tickets directly from Ocean Surfari for the same excursion was $10.00 less for each ticket.

I’d do it again! - A very nice short trip. Two captains were excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. Took us to two great locations. The first stop was my whole Bay where we saw a few fish and some sea turtles. Second stop, we saw a shark and tons of fish.

Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure with Ocean Surfari Charter - We recently had an unforgettable snorkeling trip with Ocean Surfari Charter, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional, making it a highlight of our trip to St. Thomas.
The crew was incredibly friendly, cheerful, and professional, ensuring that everyone on board felt comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. Their knowledge of the local marine life and snorkeling spots was impressive, and they took the time to explain everything we needed to know to have a safe and enjoyable experience.
The snorkeling itself was fantastic. We visited beautiful spots around St. John and other nearby islands, where we saw an abundance of colorful fish and even a sea turtle! The underwater scenery was breathtaking, and the clear waters made for perfect visibility.
On top of the excellent snorkeling, we loved the drinks and snacks provided on board. It was a nice touch that added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. The boat was well-maintained and comfortable, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the journey.

Awesome snorkeling excursion - We had a GREAT day snorkeling in some beautiful spots around St. John. Our family enjoyed this trip so much that we just booked a sunset cruise with the same group later this week! The drinks after snorkeling were delicious as well. Highly recommend!!

I’d give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could - This was by far my favorite snorkel trip in all the Caribbean we’ve done so far! Well organized for sure. The staff was incredibly pleasant- we had Dallas & Jamie and felt like we hit the jackpot by getting them. What a fantastic outfit. Even locals say this is a good business… that says a lot.

Family and Friends from 75 to 1 year old - The crew was fantastic and so knowledgeable! We had all ages in our large group of about 35-38. There was something for everyone. We saw Turtles and Aldi the widest variety of reef fish I have seen in years! Would definitely do this again!
