Overview

Embark on a private 4-hour guided eco-adventure exploring the Virgin Islands' most pristine marine habitats! Perfect for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, this tour goes beyond the usual tourist spots.

Your journey begins with a scenic boat ride into the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER), a protected marine sanctuary. At Cas Cay, take a short hike through mangroves, visit a blowhole, and explore tide pools filled with marine life.

After the hike, wade into the calm mangrove lagoon for a beginner-friendly snorkel, where the roots provide shelter for juvenile fish and rays. Then, hop back on the boat to Christmas Cove, home to a stunning coral reef in crystal-clear waters.

Our final stop is Scott Bay Beach in Virgin Islands National Park, a secluded paradise only accessible by boat. Snorkel the shallow waters and swim alongside sea turtles as they glide over the sandy bottom.

Every trip is unique, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the Virgin Islands’ thriving ecosystems!
