Amazing guide and amazing time - 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

You’ll need some stamina but… - This tour is a great little adventure! As a first-time kayaker, it took a while to get the hang of it, but the tour guides stayed with us and gave helpful pointers. We enjoyed the short hike among the hermit crabs while the guides revealed fun facts about the local plants and sea creatures. We saw plenty of fish while snorkeling in the calm waters. This tour is a great way to experience the natural beauty and culture of St. Thomas.

Great Family Tour - We had a fabulous tour with Swish, Akeem and Chase. They had great information about the area and wildlife and were very patient with the multiple questions from my children. Akeem gave my youngest daughter tips on how to spot the Parrot fish she really wanted to see which made her trip. We ended the time with my 7 year old saying it was better than all the arcades she's ever been to put together. Thank you!
