Beautiful Waves and Tide Pools - Had a fantastic time! Nice, easy kayaking trip with an easy, flat hike. My favorite part were the tide pools and waves hidden on the other side of the island. Snorkeled...even saw 2 sharks but felt safe the entire time. Highly recommend!

All the sea life - Got up close and personal with the mangroves and wildlife. When it was time to snorkel our guide Lenny found starfish, conches, lobsters. We got to hold a sea cucumber, urchins and the starfish. Viewed barracudas and sharks as well. The tour had it all.

Kayak and snorkel - Our tour guide (Slim) was amazing. He’s a marine biologist and herbalist, so he gave us cool facts from animals to plants. FYI : told the best joke! We kayak through the mangroves then snorkeled by the reef. Pice was fair and service outstanding.

A great morning exploring the lagoon - We had a fantastic morning kayaking out to the Mangrove Lagoon with Pat, our guide. He was a great guide, very friendly and enthusiastic, always looking for things to show us. Our 2 teens enjoyed it immensely as well. We also had a nice driver who picked us up/dropped us off and gave a great recommendation for what beaches to visit. Would definitely go again next time we are in St. Thomas!

exciting activity, even in rainy weather - Despite the slightly poor weather and occurring rain, it was an amazing experience. A really great way to explore the island from a somewhat different perspective.
Connor was a super guide, highly recommended ;)

Fun water excursion with some great sights - Great time with Swish kayak tour guide. He showed us all the good spots and made sure we saw lots of fun stuff along the way. Couldn’t be any more beautiful. Thanks Swish for a great time!

Kayak and snorkel! - We are an older couple, late 60s, who wanted to kayak among the mangroves. We were encouraged to try the guided 3 hour kayak/snorkel trip and we are so glad we did! Our guide Lily was wonderful at explaining the ecosystem and history of the area. My husband who is approaching age 70, had his first snorkel experience and it was magical for both of us. The waters were calm, the required life jackets made it so easy. Perhaps it was not the “best” place to snorkel, but we certainly saw plenty and we could have floated around all day. A brief hike on the beach included a hermit crab race- school aged kids would have loved it ( we did!). The owner of the company graciously helped us get a taxi when we were back. Highly recommend this company and this delightful tour!
