“What can I say, everything about this was great. From our guide Chase, to the man groves and what they provide for the island. Hiking on the Cay, the hermit crabs and of course the snorkeling. You even burn some calories kayaking through it all. The location is a little tough to find but it is well worth it if you are in St. Thomas and make sure you ask for Chase”

Swim with sea turtles, kayak calm St. Thomas waters, enjoy lunch, and explore a quiet beach on this small-group eco-adventure.
“This tour was the highlight of our 9 days in the VI. We were picked up at our hotel by Michelle. She and her husband Sven run this tour. We took the Ferry to Water Island. They take small groups, so reserve early. They had great equipment and made sure we understood how to use it for novices like me! We saw many turtles. NO fins and we wore life jackets to assure we stay on top of the water so we didn't disturb them. Great beach side lunch and the history of Water Island was very interesting. I love snorkeling now and can't wait to go back.”
