About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- K3634YOtoric0 contributionsBook ItWe had an amazing experience with this activity. Our guide, Maddy, was patient as we figured out transportation from our cruise port to the meeting location. She met us in a jeep, and drove us to the snorkel location. The beach was almost secluded and not a busy touristy spot. It was just the two of us and Maddy on this tour. Maddy was very knowledgeable about the local ocean life and gave us info about the local flora as well. She got us set up with our snorkel gear, offered us drinking water, and guided us as we swam. Maddy pointed out anything cool we saw and took pictures/videos along the way. We saw some awesome coral life, sea turtles, and rays. There was no waiting in lines, there was no large group of inexperienced snorkelers, and we were not rushed. Maddy was very personable and made our trip so great. She even helped us out when we needed cash for a taxi. She let us Venmo her for the picture package, tip, and taxi money.Written July 30, 2024
- Cruiser560921990380 contributionsSmall Group Tours Rock!!!Our tour with Maddy was awesome! She took time to explain the vegetation that we were walking past, how snorkeling works and of course all the facts about the sea turtles we were seeing. Bonus part of the tour was having her point out the tropical fish, different types of coral, and the feather duster. Great way to start our St. Thomas vacation.Written June 21, 2024
- richpW7809SV0 contributionsSea Turtles Small Group Snorkel the Best!We absolutely loved our snorkel trip to swim with sea turtles! Our guide, Maddy, did an incredible job. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly where to see turtles and other sea life. Her photo package is a must! Best excursion ever!Written June 14, 2024
- Stay2776310 contributionsLoved swimming with the sea turtlesSven was great. Loved seeing the turtles. Surf too rough to do the reef part of the trip. We were credited $20 per person for the shortened tour.Written May 10, 2024
- haydenm6200 contributionsAwesome ExperienceThis was such a great experience! Maddy and Sven were our guides (9 of us, all family). We saw so many cool things, and the guides were constantly explaining what we were seeing. They also took pictures the whole time of us and the things we saw, so we didn't have to try to mess with taking pics. The photo package was worth every penny! It included pictures/videos of us and all the things we saw. It was perfect to be in such an intimate group instead of a large group. I'm sure we saw a lot more than if we had been surrounded by a lot of people. Communication and transportation were great as well.Written April 29, 2024
- M5236MOcourtneya0 contributionsWonderful time with a small groupWe had a wonderful experience! The guide was kind and patient with my children as they tried to figure out snorkeling. He also taught us so much about everything. The beach was beautiful and not too crowded. Beautiful island and we loved seeing the turtles!Written April 5, 2024
- T1540NPrachelr0 contributionsExcellent Quick ExcursionSt Thomas Adventures was wonderful! They took us to a beautiful, not too crowded beach. Nearby bathrooms and showers. Local food truck near by. We snorkeled and saw fish and turtles. They include beer, waters, sodas and we requested rum & punch. Great crew!Written March 7, 2024
- Journey6359490 contributionsHad a lot of funHad a great time, it was a nice change to go from a calm bay to see the sea turtles to the second location where we were able to swim out in the choppier water. Had a lot of funWritten February 3, 2024
- JulyO19800 contributionsPersonalized service and great snorkeling for turtles and rays.This was the perfect tour for a small group of snorklers with varied expreience in the water. Snorkeling from the beach in the shallower clear waters allowed all of us to feel confident Sven from St Thomas Adventure Tours was a great guide and adjusted the snorkeling to fit each person. Three of us stayed in the water with Sven for over an hour. We saw so many turtles and rays. Much of the area is sand and sea grass - the perfect environment for the turtles, stingrays and flounder. Another part of the bay had a small coral reef where we saw many types of fish along with an octopus and some squid. Even our least experienced snorkeler was able to enjoy herself and see a lot of marine life. Then she opted to enjoy the shady quiet beach in the chairs Sven brought with him. Emerald Resort meeting place was a short cab ride from the cruise port - about 7 minutes. There are a lot of taxis avaialbe going to and from the resort. We loved the personalized attention and the eco inspired walk and swim. Five stars! Would definitely do this again! Also a nice idea for those who might get a little queasy on the catamarans.Written January 25, 2024

He took us to a gorgeous beach without all of the tourists and as soon as we got in the water we saw so much sea life and turtles! We have 4 kids and two adults and no complaints the entire time. We all enjoyed how knowledgeable Conner was in showing us everything in the sea. Highly recommend!!Written August 27, 2023
- 982leannr0 contributionsWonderful way to enjoy what St Thomas has to offer!!Conner was awesome!! He was extremely knowledgeable. We saw 5 sea turtles, 4 sting rays, and a host of fish that Conner told us about. He showed us some different trees as well. The lunch was amazing home made bread and cookie!! And the kayak beach was stunningly beautiful! We also had some great views on the drive to do the kayaking. It was the best money we could have spent!! The pictures include a bunch of underwater pictures of the sea life and several pictures of you enjoying the experience. Highly recommend!!Written August 17, 2023

- Muna A0 contributionsAmazing time with Conner!We had the time of our lives with tour guide, Conner! He was knowledgeable on the area, the animals, and the island. He took us out to see the turtles and fish while exploring the reef and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would 100% recommend this company and Conner if you plan on visiting St Thomas!Written June 25, 2023
- Nadine_abraham0 contributionsTuttle snorkel excursionDid the 2 hour turtle snorkeling tour and had Conner as our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He had so much knowledge about the ocean life and was so much fun to be with. My sisters and I said we’ll definitely come back and to ask for conner to be our tour guide because we just had such a fantastic time. I love that they work with smaller groups, we felt like we got to experience so much more that way!Written June 25, 2023

We are a family of 5 but this website won't let us make a reservation saying you only allow 4 per guide but don't you have more than 1 guide per trip? So are you saying we can't book a tour because we have 5?
