We went on an unguided kayak trip through the mangrove lagoon. It's very reasonably priced and relaxing. Cas Cay is beautiful. Wear water shoes that you can also do some light hiking in (if that's your thing). There's a trail across the island with some beautiful views. ★★★★★

As a group of 4 adult couples with a love of kayaking, we recently booked the self-guided 4-hour tour. The paddle through the mangroves was lovely, and the paddling was easy and enjoyable. The staff were helpful and polite both on our way out and the return. Terry in particular stood out, sharing her recommendations on locations to visit. ★★★★★

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What will we see?

    In our St. Thomas Mangrove Lagoon, you will kayak among the many small islands of the unique Inner Mangrove Lagoon. You may see a variety of birds such as brown pelicans, blue herons, night herons, egrets, yellow warblers and hummingbirds. While snorkeling you may see spotted eagle rays, turtles, pufferfish, octopus, lobster, stingrays, parrotfish and much more!

  • Are there any threatening sea creatures in the waters of your tours?

    Consider yourself lucky if you are fortunate enough to see a baby shark or barracuda. For the most part they are more afraid of you than you are of them.
