This by far the best excursion we did during our recent 10 day cruise. We wanted get out anddo something other than lying around on a beach. Sue met our group when we got off the boat and was pleasant right from the start. After a quick taxi ride to the ferry and a short trip across the harbor, we... More

Hi Honeymooners. . . We do remember you and thank you for your kind words. It's people like you who make the work (yes, there is work involved that our guests never see) all worthwhile. Come back and see us! Susan (& Butch, of course) More

Just back from a Royal Caribbean Cruise and one of the stops was St. Thomas. Hubby and I decided to take the Water Island Bike ride (for the second time, did the ride several years ago on another cruise) along with our daughter and her husband. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed the bike ride and dealing with the company owners.... More

Thanks for coming with us a second time -- please don't wait too long to come back for the third! I look forward to presenting you with your replacement shirt. Repeat business is the best kind; it not only pays us a great compliment, it warms our hearts as well. We look forward to seeing you again. Susan (& Butch) More

The history behind Water Island shared by the group leaders, the extra special individual attention to each person, and the down to earh people... More

We had a great time except that the bikes were worn out and rusted. A few of the bikes had issues with the gears. The people followed us while we were riding to help with the bikes in case there was a problem. But that was only to a point. At the end, we had a choice of going on... More

The crew at Water Island Adventures made our short time in St. Thomas/Water Island unforgettable. The biking was perfect for all levels of athlete/non-athlete. The views were breathtaking and to know we were being guided by true, long-term locals made the stories even more entertaining. To end at Honeymoon Beach was the icing on the cake. More

We were a family group of 4 couples. Meeting Susan & pick-up was smooth & Susan gave us lots of interesting information as we made our way by taxi van & ferry to Water Island. The panoramic view from the lookout point was fabulous & we all had a good time with the bikes, the ride & the beautiful beach.... More

Being experienced bikers, we looked forward to a nice day of biking exercise in a week of relaxation in the Virgin Islands. We were picked up on time by Susan from WaterIslandAdventures from the ferry with her golf cart, and after signing a massive waver and instructions on how to operate the bikes, we happily took of. However, the bikes... More

The staff is excellent. The biking and then swimming is perfect even for a non biker like me. The only negative is I wanted to spend more time in the water. I wished the excursion was a little longer. You learn a little history of the island which is also fun. More

I was part of a group of three families (six adults + six children) that had a cruise stop in St. Thomas. We had pre-booked this excursion prior to leaving for our cruise. Even w/a late arrival, we were graciously accommodated and enjoyed every minute of our excursion. Susan even accommodated our three young daughters (ages 5-6) by letting them... More
