Great for big groups - Hibiscus was a great tour guide. We customized our tour based on stops we wanted. She offered great tips, and was a lot of fun. It was really nice to have a safari/taxi waiting for us after each stop vs having to hail a cab each time.

Great 4 Hour Private Tour on St John - Our tour guide, Hibiscus, was so sweet, humble and welcoming and she was very professional, knowledgeable and well-spoken. She made the St John Island tour so enjoyable. We saw the sugar plantation remains, several beaches, multiple sights, picture taking places, and a lot of animals like donkeys, goats, chickens, mongoose, and iguanas. We were able to swim, sunbathe, relax and snorkel at two different beautiful beaches. It was nice having the entire open air tour bus to ourselves for our private party of 4. We could leave spots when we were ready. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. A must do in my opinion.

St. John tour - Hibiscus was our guide. She was very knowledgeable about St. John and all the sites that we went to along with telling us about the wildlife and flora. Hibiscus also educated us about island history. It was nice to get away from Cruz Bay and enjoy nature and history.

Our excellent tour of St. John's National Park - The tour was very good. We (wife and I) specified exactly what we wanted to see and the driver based the tour on that, while stopping several times to allow me to take photos. The driver, Hibiscus, was very knowledgeable of the island and its history.

We LOVE Starfish Tours and Taxi!! - We use Starfish every time we come to St. John. They are so accommodating and can tell you all about this beautiful island they call home! We would highly recommend them for all of your travel needs! Thank you Hibiscus and crew!

Highly recommend a private tour! - Hibiscus gave our group of 6 a four hour tour packed with history, botany, views and a current perspective of the island. We didn’t want to swim as we we’ll be on a catamaran cruise for a week. She took us all over the island with some stops for pictures and historical tours. She shared her life’s story which made our trip so memorable. She was on time and dropped us off exactly four hours later. We would highly recommend this tour to learn more about the island than you’ll get traveling on your own.

Great way to learn your way around the island. - We went on our tour the second day we were on there. We had an amazing time getting to know the island. The tour included every place we wanted to see and allowed us to know our way around for the rest of our trip. Evans was THE BEST!!!! So many photo opportunities at every turn.

St John in a Day - We wanted to spend a day on St John, but didn't want to worry with taking our cars over on the car barge so booked the 4 hour tour, plus one additional hour. Hibiscus was our guide for the day and she was FABULOUS!! She provided great information on the history of the island, flora and fauna and of course our beaches of choice. We had children with us which she kept engaged throughout the tour. At the end of the tour she asked each a question over things we had seen or activities, providing them with a small gift. She really made this a favorite part of our family's trip to St John. Highly recommend this tour!
