Five hours of fun in the sun! - Dana was our tour guide. He was absolutely amazing. He had a ton of knowledge on every species of animal and plant on the island. He would dive down and pick up sea creatures for us to hold. He took so many photos so you can relax and be in the moment!

Interactive Nature Experience! - We had a great experience with our guide, Dana! Dana was extremely knowledgeable and made the experience interactive by letting us hold sea creatures such as jellyfish, starfish, sea cucumber, and baby sea urchins. He had our safety in mind, while sharing key facts about the lagoon and ecosystem. The kayak trip and hike were amazing and exactly what we were looking for. We went off season and were fortunate to learn our morning tour was just the four of us, becoming an unexpected private tour. I highly recommend this tour to those seeking to learn and enjoy nature.

Most memorable excursion — thank you, Dana!! - We did the 5 hour tour with Dana and it was an amazing experience!! If you have any interest at all in learning about local wild life (the world’s most toxic tree, upside down jelly fish, thousands of hermit crabs, sea urchins, sharks, barracuda, sea turtles, etc) then you have to do this excursion. Dana was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. I have never had such a kind tour guide in my life!!
We were given 2 opportunities to snorkel through the 5 hour tour with some kayaking and lunch in between. We opted to just hang out on the beach during the 2nd round of snorkeling and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.
I would recommend wearing a long sleeve UV repellant shirt and wear water shoes! But, in case you forget anything, they have a little shop with all the necessities. If I am ever back in St. Thomas, this will be the first thing I book :) Thank you all so much for such a memorable trip!!

First time Kayaking! - This was our first time kayaking and we were glad to have brief instruction and encouragement from Dana. Dana was very helpful in getting us in and out of the kayak which was very helpful and also the hardest part about kayaking! (ha! ha! ha!) Dana was very knowledgeable about marine life, the mangrove ecosystem, and USVI history which was explained and pointed out during our day. Lunch was good, and not over-filling. My crab won the race! First place for me! :) Our hike to the blowhole was great and Dana also provided information on the island's plants and ecosystem. While snorkeling we saw sharks, lobsters, octopus, barracuda, and many colorful fish.
Dana also took many pictures in and out of the water, which we are excited to have for our memories! (this was a separate purchase) We were celebrating my birthday and 40th anniversary and we are grateful we chose to do this adventure. We highly recommend it!!!!

Fantastic kayak and snorkel experience - This was a fantastic experience! It is alway tricky to find a great outdoor adventure with three young boys - but this was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the island, plant and marine life- and all of the activities (kayak, short hike, snorkeling) was great. My younger boys were able to play and explore while the older snorkeled. Lunch was a nice bonus (and we were all hungry by that time!) Highly recommend!

DON'T THINK ABOUT IT - JUST BOOK IT - What a beautiful experience. My husband and I love learning about the land we are visiting, and we acquired so much knowledge with this tour. Kyrell was an absolute wonderful tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and will make an incredible marine biologist one day. It felt like we were on an adventure with a friend the entire day! 10/10!!!!

Great trip to learn the ecosystem and see some cool sealife - Swish was amazing and it was one of the best excursions on our cruise. Saw turtles, conch, lobster, lion fish, and so many other fish species. We enjoyed the educational aspect about the mangroves and the ecosystem. Swish was just the best tour guide we could have asked for. The business seems a little rough when you get dropped off but it is definitely worth the price. Also they were so kind when we returned. Very professional and wanted to make sure we had a great time.We bought the photgraphs he took on our trip and the lunch was great.
