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:
- Small groups of two to six people (larger groups can book a private tour)
- 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!
- Many digital photos of your tour are included (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 chairs for your beach break. 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).
