Amazing and informative Kayak, Hike, and Snorkel - Amazing and informational. J’avante and Katz were amazing and informative. My husband and I thought this was one our best tours ever. We learned many new facts about St Thomas and Mangroves.

Great tour and fun experience - Great trip. Te’Quan was a great guide. Hermit crab race was down to the wire. A great way to learn about the importance of the mangroves and the sea life living around them.

Great partial day excursion! - Great partial day excursion in St. Thomas. We were on a cruise and this was a great way to spend half a day. Kayaking was fun and not too stressful. Opportunity to snorkel helped cool off on a warm day and a good amount of various sized fish to see. Tour guide was friendly and informative. Pickup and dropoff from cruise terminal was a plus.

Relaxed Kayaking and Snorkeling adventure. Beautiful scenery - We had a private tour through COSTCO and it was FABULOUS! Snorkeling was GREAT - close up to the fish. Our guide was a bright young man (I'm sorry I forgot his name) who is heading to college in NY. He had some of his highschool education in USA so it was very easy to talk to him and understand him. He was relaxed and enjoyed the time with us. The kayaking was not difficult and very special through the mangroves, learning about the ecosystem. He pulled up a special jellyfish for us to study. He showed us starfish of various kinds and taught us about hermit crabs. The walk on the small Happy Island was special to the blow hole. One really felt like they got a feel of the area. Snorkeling gear was provided but I brought my own. Fins NOT needed. water a bit cool but very tolerable. We went at our own pace. I forgot to tell them I was vegetarian so be sure to tell them since they make a lunch for you. They called a taxi for us at the end of the tour. Remember it is $15 EACH way to and from the dock/ship. Bring cash for tipping as well. You will want to tip because it was a very special time.

5 stars - Fantastic tour. We had Elven as a tour guide and he was wonderful. Highly recommend for anyone who can swim/kayak. They provide kayaks/snorkels there.

Beautiful Place & Excellent Guide - My wife and I took the 2 1/2 hour kayak & snorkle tour of the mangroves. All of the guides were friendly, knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. The day we went there had been over a week of heavy rains and much of water of the mangrove area was the color of strong tea. Our guide Kyrell led our small group of 6 paddlers to an area of clear water for snorkeling. It was a great experience, Kyrell was helpful, friendly, and shared his knowledge of the mangroves, birds, and marine life. Be sure to bring sunglasses and sunscreen, or better yet wear thin sun clothing.

Nice time kayaking and snorkling, pick up and communication can use some work - We enjoyed the Kayaking and snorkling, although I believe it got cut short due to time issues. Pick up was not communicated well and we had to find someone to actually call an find out if pickup was still happening. As such, we were picked up late.

Below average - Snorkeling was below average. Not very many fish at all. Guides were funny but overall this excursion was not worth the money.
