Amazing way to spend 4hrs on St John! - I cannot recommend Star fish tours enough. Our guide Evans was absolutely amazing. Such a gentleman and friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us so much of the island. We had the best day!

A relaxing and educational way to see St John! - Ron was an awesome guide! He really listened to how we wanted to spend our day upfront, and was flexible to make modifications as we went. We learned a lot about the history of and current life on St John. He made amazing recommendations for which beaches were best, which can be difficult to tell just from online research alone. He’s also a great driver which made our open-air driving experience more relaxing and breezy; I was so relieved that we didn’t try to rent a car and drive ourselves as the roads felt quite treacherous and parking was stressful. It is obvious why Ron is so proud to be from St John. We loved our time on this tour, and can’t wait to be back to USVI someday soon!

An Extraordinary Day! - The four-hour customized tour that my husband and I took on February 3 was amaziing! Our guide, Hibiscus, was extremely personable, very knowledgeable, attentive to our needs--and fun! She grew up on the island and provided first hand knowledge of customs and traditions, native plants, and the back story of various places that we visited. She took us exactly where we wanted to go and within our time frame. We could not have seen as much of the island as with did without her! We were delighted to spend the day with her!

Great island tour - Ron was a fantastic tour guide. He was clear spoken and very patient with us. He told us all about the island and answered all our questions. Didn’t rush at any stops. Even provided drinks along the way

Four Hour Star Fish Tours and Taxi - This is an excellent tour. If you are coming to STJ for a day, a week, or longer, this tour should go on your list of things to do. We got to see Maho, The Annaberg Ruins, Cinnamon, and Trunk. Even tho we got to a lot of places, I didn't feel rushed. You can even ask the driver to spend a little longer in certain spots. What I suggest is do this tour first, then when you find a beach or area of the island you like, you can go back with a cab later during your trip. The driver will also use a mic and point out different places around the island. Starfish has a cooler for you to put in sodas, waters, beers too. I am sure they have plenty of different drivers. The driver assigned to our family was Dean. Also can't say enough good things about Dean. I told him a little bit about what we wanted to see and he took it over from there. He even stopped off at a few places I didn't know about and we got to see some amazing views. Dean was friendly, helpful, informative, and took good care of us! We rented a VRBO in Cruz Bay and instead of taking us back to the bottom of the hill, he took us to our VRBO entrance which was very nice of him. He did a great job! If you book this trip, be sure to bring cash to tip your driver too. Dean was super!! Also need to shout out customer service. I dealt with Kharid (I think that was her name) on the phone and email a good bit when planning. At first she asked us to re-arrange a date because one of their trucks was down. We worked it out with no problem. Then we had to re-adjust again because of weather and I had to change days. Again, we worked it out no problem. Starfish customer service from the time I booked the trip until the time it was over was on point and so helpful. Can't thank them enough for their really great communication. In summary- whether you have been to STJ or not, I highly recommend you book the 4 hr tour.

Best way to see St. John in a day. - Fantastic day with Evans on the island. He made our day perfect with his suggestions, history and friendliness. Would definitely do a day tour again if visiting St. John.

Very pricey. - Too expensive for what you get. Don’t go private. Look for some sharing that is not too many people.

Conveniently arranged and... - Conveniently arranged and informative. One drawback was we were told "this is your four hours, tell me how you want to spend it". Not knowing the island or doing any pre-research, limited our preferences to share and shape out tour. Guide did a nice job.
