Amazing experience! - Me and my dad are on vacation for my birthday and decided to try this out. Our guide was such an awesome guy and would love to do it again! He gave us facts on the virgin islands, the necessity of mangrove trees and showed us a bunch of wild life. We’d definitely recommend everyone try this out.

Great time in St Thomas - The guys who run the tour are great. Chase , Swift(?), and the third person who's name begins with an A that I cant remember. They are excellent about introducing important eco facts as you walk along, paddling the mangrove lagoon is not difficult. There is always someone in the back of the group offering to help and making sure no one is lost or left behind. You wont be disappointed.

Kayak, hike, and snorkel was great! - Awesome tour! Hike is not too strenuous. Wear closed water shoes if you can. Just the right amount of time. Elvin was an amazing tour guide.

Great trifecta - kayak, hike & snorkel - Elvin and team were great. I was thrilled to have such a direct and immediate experience of the mangroves and the lagoon. I’m not a big fan of snorkeling, but i was really pleased to see a variety of different fish.

Awesome trip... just do it - A bunch of us went from VIMSIA (local private school) and had a great time. The guides are attentive and fun. You get to paddle, hike, snorkel and laze on the beach. I highly recomend this if you like adventure and fun... The paddling is easy and not taxing at all.
