US Virgin Islands · SEA TURTLE TOURS
Green turtles graze the seagrass at Turtle Cove all day, which is why nearly every snorkel boat points that way. These 13 differ on hull, group size and how long you actually spend in the water — the difference between a photo and an hour with them.

“Had a great time with Captain Joe and Catie. Catie provided very clear directions via text on the morning of the excursion. Once on board, everything was perfect! Enjoyed both stops for snorking. Catie showed us the shipwreck and wide variety of fish and various other creatures at the first stop and Captain Joe helped us find the turtles at the second stop. We tend to do a lot of these 1/2 day boat tours in Caribbean cruise ports. This was by far the most enjoyable.”

“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.”
