as the title says we did a full day of bucks island with big beards tours. I have no complaints, they leave a little later than other tour shops so when they get to the good snorkeling area the other groups are heading out (that doesnt seem to be the case for their half day tour though) afterwards they make...

Thank you for going out to Buck Island with us. We are so glad that you had a good time! It's a lot of fun to see the mongoose at the BBQ site as well as the hermit crabs. We hope that you can come back and visit us again. More

We booked a full day sail to Buck Island and loved it! We first stopped at Turtle Beach where we were given a snorkel tutorial and time to explore the beach. Afterwards we headed towards the reef where you could either go w/the crowd on a small 10 min tour or do your own snorkeling. Afterwards we headed off to... More

Left the boardwalk for a leisurely sail along the north shore. Relaxing and beautiful. The 2 man crew was great fun to talk to and did a great job taking care of the passengers. There is nothing like watching the sunset while on a sail boat in the Caribbean. Check that off my bucket list!

Captain Steve and First Mate Andy confiscated our shoes and welcomed us aboard the Renegade catamaran sailboat. We had a beautiful cruise from Christiansted out to Buck Island where we stopped at Turtle Beach to practice snorkeling and enjoy the sandy, undeveloped beach. From there, we traveled around to the reef where Andy gave us a short tour and let... More

We had a beautiful day at sea and at Buck Island. Big Beard himself gives the briefing and introduction of the captain and the assistant at the departure from the harbour. The Renegate is a beautiful boat and it is so nice to experience St. Croix from the seaside. Buck Island is just GREAT and we had great snorkeling experiences... More

My husband and I took the full day Buck Island tour and had a blast. We had Rudy, Mike, Chrissy and Gabe as our crew and they were all friendly and fun. Turtle Beach was beautiful- I could have stayed there all day in that water. The underwater trail was great- we saw some nice colorful fish. The lunch on... More

We snorkeled 4 times during our cruise of the Southern Caribbean and this was the best trip we did. It was a stormy day and several people on our cruise had a trip to Buck Island booked with the ship. Those trips were canceled and all those folks missed out. We were so glad we booked on our own with... More

Expensive at $70/person, I hesitated at first to sign up for this half-day excursion, but ultimately found that the adventure was worth the money. A 45 minute trip aboard a crowded yet comfortable motor boat took us to Buck Island, a national park 90% of which is underwater, where the real adventure begins. The crew is helpful and efficient, and... More

Everything about the tour is first-rate. We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise (Adventure of the Seas) and did Big Beard's as a day tour. We took two of our kids, ages 4 and 9, and they loved the trip too, especially the power boat riding. Crew are all highly trained, friendly, super helpful.
