Unforgettable Snorkeling Adventure with Ocean Surfari Charter - We recently had an unforgettable snorkeling trip with Ocean Surfari Charter, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional, making it a highlight of our trip to St. Thomas.
The crew was incredibly friendly, cheerful, and professional, ensuring that everyone on board felt comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. Their knowledge of the local marine life and snorkeling spots was impressive, and they took the time to explain everything we needed to know to have a safe and enjoyable experience.
The snorkeling itself was fantastic. We visited beautiful spots around St. John and other nearby islands, where we saw an abundance of colorful fish and even a sea turtle! The underwater scenery was breathtaking, and the clear waters made for perfect visibility.
On top of the excellent snorkeling, we loved the drinks and snacks provided on board. It was a nice touch that added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. The boat was well-maintained and comfortable, providing plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the journey.

Awesome snorkeling excursion - We had a GREAT day snorkeling in some beautiful spots around St. John. Our family enjoyed this trip so much that we just booked a sunset cruise with the same group later this week! The drinks after snorkeling were delicious as well. Highly recommend!!

I’d give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could - This was by far my favorite snorkel trip in all the Caribbean we’ve done so far! Well organized for sure. The staff was incredibly pleasant- we had Dallas & Jamie and felt like we hit the jackpot by getting them. What a fantastic outfit. Even locals say this is a good business… that says a lot.

Family and Friends from 75 to 1 year old - The crew was fantastic and so knowledgeable! We had all ages in our large group of about 35-38. There was something for everyone. We saw Turtles and Aldi the widest variety of reef fish I have seen in years! Would definitely do this again!

Highly Recommend this Tour! - We took a long time deciding which snorkeling tour we wanted to do, but as we wanted to go to the St. John National Park we chose this one! We chose right Dallas and Alex made the tour really fun, yet we felt very safe. They gave us good tips as to where to find the turtles in the sea grass and the amazing fish around the rocks. We saw lots of both, as well as the beautiful NP. Oh and the guava and passion fruit rum punches and snacks were a terrific way to end the morning!

National Park Snorkeling - The NationalPark Snorkeling adventure was amazing! The crew was so much fun, snacks and beverages were provided and music was great! We saw so many vibrant colored fish, a squid, sea urchin and turtles! I could not get enough. A 10 out of 10 for sure. And I am scared of water!
