Come swim with sea turtles on this half-day private adventure! This tour is always private - for couples, families or groups. Choose to kayak or beach break. The selection is made when you book the tour.
A professional guide will lead you to the natural habitat of sea turtles.
Guaranteed up close encounter with turtles! This tour is unique from the sea turtle tours offered by other tour operators and the cruise ships because:
- It's private!
- No other tour/excursion on St. Thomas gives a "Turtle Guarantee"!
- Your guide is snorkeling with you in the water
- Lunch and beverages are included!
- Photos are free (above and under water)
- We snorkel from the beach, so it is great for first time and experienced snorkelers (no jumping off of a boat or kayak)!
- Snorkeling area is not crowded
No experience is necessary, our well-trained guides will provide instruction, guidance and join you in the water to ensure that you have an incredible adventure! Learn all about the graceful and beautiful green sea turtle during your up close encounter. Your guide will take photos while you swim near and above the turtles in their natural habitat.
After the turtle snorkeling, enjoy a break at a beautiful sandy beach (restrooms and showers are available). Your guide will provide a cooler with your sandwiches, a snack and your beverages (included). Vegetarian and gluten free options are available by request (let us know of any special requests when you book the tour)!
We kayak in tandem boats, but you can have an odd number in your group (usually one will paddle with the guide).
If you decide not to kayak, choose the "Sea Turtle Snorkel with Beach Break" you will be provided a beach chair and the option to join your guide on a short nature walk to learn about local history, native plants and their many uses. There is plenty of shade at the beach. Let us know if you have a baby or child under the age of 5, so that we can make accommodations (we usually split the snorkeling time so that both parents can snorkel).
