I'm visiting St Thomas for the week and was really hoping they had some surfing here. I had been looking online and fortunately found St Thomas Scuba and Snorkel Adventures! Web answered my call promptly, not only was I able to rent a surfboard for a fair price but I was able to get some snorkel rentals for the week!
Web is guy to know when it comes to anything surf related in the Virgin Islands whether you are a new surfer needing lessons or just new to surfing here. He told me the best places to go this time of year and even told me what the surf should be like the rest of the week with the swell coming in.
I met up with him down at Hull Bay, he brought a shirt for me to wear incase I needed it to protect against sunburn and even had some board wax for me to use! I was pleasantly surprised he decided to come out surfing with me. I've only ever been out surfing in So Cal and only long boarded so he gave me a few pointers for short boarding and watched out for me to make sure I didn't go too far over to where it's really shallow since it's a reef break. He even let me swap out from a foam shortboard to a hard shortboard!
20 out of 10, I recommend anyone coming to the islands looking to surf, snorkel, or scuba to hit up Web with St Thomas Scuba and Snorkel Adventures!

Web's contact pre-tour was perfect. What a great day that we spent with Perry (Mike). He picked us up as close to our ship as he could, toured the island, and stopped to snorkel at two different spots. Perry's historical knowledge of the island was fantastic. Having two new snorkelers with us did not prove to be an issue with Perry as he taught them the ropes. The pictures provided at the end were well worth the nominal upcharge.

Perry was an excellent tour guide! We were originally scheduled to do a boat tour, but unfortunately the boat broke down the day before we were scheduled. Web was incredibly kind and offered us a Jeep tour with Perry instead, which was awesome. We saw so many cool fish around the reef, and even a squid! We also got to see sea turtles and stingrays!
I would absolutely recommend spending the $40 on the photographs, you will not be disappointed! The photos are incredible and it’s much easier to let them do the diving and photographing than you being distracted by trying to do it yourself.
Seriously, take the tour! I can’t recommend these guys enough!

If you want adventure in your life … look no further! In our group we had two adults, two children under 12 and two teenagers. We booked a private boat excursion with St. Thomas Adventure tours out of Hull Bay. Our captain was Web who was phenomenal. Fun, adventurous, kind and patient. We went to pristine caves which we snorkled in, a bird sanctuary which we snorkled under … we saw so many fish and marine life and snorkled for hours! At one point it started to rain - so we moved to a private beach and swam in the rain. Experiences of a lifetime! Web knows this Island so well, he knows all the best spots and he took so many wonderful photos for my family and I to always treasure. Thank you Web, we can’t wait to come back and book another bucket list excursion with you! 🐠 🐟 🐢 🦈🦀🦑🐙

We booked this excursion privately through them instead of through our cruise and we are so glad we did. They were experts and took us to two different private locations to snorkel away from the crowds and took great care of our less experience snorkelers. The pictures they took for us were amazing. Will book again through them next time we’re in St. Thomas.

First day on ST Thomas we landed at 1500, checked in, then took a ferry to ST John and walked around aimlessly. Ended up eating dinner in Red Hook area.
Was an alright first day.
However, didn’t feel like vacation until today.
Did the Snorkel and Jeep tour the morning of our second day. A 4-5 hour excursion turned into a 6 hour adventure.
Snorkeled two different spots. Saw PLENTY of sea life including the turtle in the pics - was 100% worth the extra $40 for the pictures throughout the day as Perry takes more than you think to capture yourself.
What blew me away was his knowledge of the island as well as the surrounding islands. Learned more talking to Perry than I did in 3 months of scraping forums for “what to do”. Toured Red Hook, Frenchman Quarter, Magens Bay, etc. However, what was really cool was he brought us to local surf spots, best places to eat in the eyes of a local, and truly showed us the ENTIRE island.
Felt more like a buddy visiting an old friend and getting a vip rundown than just a tourist with his tour guide.
His preparation didn’t stop there - had a cooler of water (thank God) and beer.
Ended the day with lunch which was a plus.
Cheers to St Thomas Scuba and Snorkel.
Professionals from every aspect.
Perry’s a great people person who happens to love the activities the island has to offer more.
Was a blast to spend a day with him.
10x better than I would’ve thought heading into it.
Highly recommend do the Day Snorkel & Jeep Tour at minimum on your first or second day to enrich the rest of your vacation time on St Thomas.
We are excited to go back the next couple days for the Night Snorkel and Surf Lesson.

We had such a great time with Heather! We booked a one day Rent a Local on St. Thomas and one day on St. John and Heather was our guide both days. She was so wonderful and did a great job with the kiddos (ages 5, 9 and 12). It can be hard to balance a preschooler's needs against two tweens, but she was so helpful. Sometimes she would snorkel with the big kids to show them stingrays or turtles, sometimes we would all go out together and she had a floatie that she would pull the 5 year old around on, and sometimes she would just build sandcastles with the little one so the rest of us could snorkel together. She even brought snacks along in case we were hungry during the long day (my kids are ALWAYS hungry!), and she noticed what we liked on the first day and then catered to that for the rest of the time. My girls love collecting rocks, and when she picked us up the second day, she had decorated several rocks with cute drawings and "Virgin Islands 2021" and gave them to us as souvenirs! Also, I purchased the photo package and she took great shots of us underwater and on the beach, and she even cropped and edited several of the pictures to make them EVEN BETTER! I have the best pictures of our trip now. I would definitely 100% recommend the Rent a Local tour and Heather!! And, families with young kids, she will definitely work with you to make sure you are comfortable and everyone has a good time. Five Stars!!

We had originally booked the boat charter for the day, but weather conditions prevented us from being able to go on the boat. Web contacted us a couple of days ahead of time offering to refund our money or switch us to the island Jeep tour (even at a lower cost). We were more than happy to make the switch, and ended up snorkeling and touring the island with Perry for the day. It was a fantastic experience, and Perry was a great guide. He met us at our hotel and got my wife and I comfortable with snorkeling (neither of us had much experience at all). From there, we went on to Brewers Bay for more snorkeling, getting to see a bunch of sea turtles, and then all around the island for some amazing views, interesting history, and great food & drink recommendations. Perry even stopped by a grocery to allow us to pick up some supplies for our rental's kitchen. I wouldn't hesitate to book another tour through St. Thomas Scuba & Snorkel Adventures, and hope to get back out on the boat next time. One recommendation: book this tour early in your trip. It will help ensure you spend the rest of your time on the island wisely.

We traveled to St. Thomas via cruise ship and always prefer not to do excursions through the cruise one. We chose the Jeep and sea turtles tour for our family. We arranged everything ahead of time with Webb and it was stress free from the moment we stepped off the ship. Heather, our guide for the day, was amazing! She was full of patience for our teenager and catered to our families needs. This made for a fun filled relaxing day snorkeling and traveling around the island. She also took amazing photos that we were able to pay a nominal fee and download right to our phones at the end of the day. We actually have underwater photos of us swimming with sea turtles in their natural environment! My family and I will be talking about this tour for a very long time and we now have a friend in the island! Thanks Heather! We can’t wait to travel to St. Thomas again!!

This was the most eventful part of my vacay to St. Thomas and St. John with my kids. It was a full five hours of fun! The guide, Heather made a difference. She was attentive, caring, and a bolt of fun and enthusiasm. She made a special stop for me as I had a personal issue that required a special product at the convenience store...from there we started our trek. She knew all the off-beaten roads and lookout points. We stopped at Brewer's Beach for some snorkeling and beachcombing. The beach was nice, with all the amenities onsite. She guided us to the right spots were we did spot those elusive turtles as well as other fish, and stingrays. She agreed to be our photographer and the pictures that resulted from this underwater excursion are like magazine quality. The pics I posted on my social media speak for themselves. She was very patient and went out of her way to make sure that we were well accommodated throughout our excursion. I really like how she made sure my son was comfortable too, since he opted not to snorkel as he hates salt and sand-not into the beach. She gave him suggestions for things that he could enjoy while my daughter and I snorkeled. They really enjoyed the trip and I must say it was an exhilarating event for me and made for an extraordinary Mother's Day! I will never forget this day in my LIFE.

Do you ever give a price reduction to a party of 11? We will be traveling with entire family for our 50th wedding anniversary.

Unfortunately we must carry insurance for each person in the group regardless of number of people. This means that we have to charge the same price per person from parties of two or more..
