Virgin Islands Ecotours | Enjoy USVI Tours: Kayak, Hike & Snorkel

We always enjoy having travel writers come visit our island and capture all of the things that make the USVI so special, particularly on video. It really brings the magic of the destination alive and helps set the scene for first time visitors doing their research.

If you’re coming to the US Virgin Islands, even if you’ve visited before, taking an island nature tour can be a great way to see another side of the islands. Our expert guides can point out tropical flora and fauna you may never have noticed before and take you to spots that would otherwise be inaccessible on your own.

We were recently fortunate to have the blogger behind Travels of Sarah Fay come to visit us. She joined us for two days of tours – one day on St. Thomas and one day on St. John. She put together the awesome video below to show you what you can expect when joining us for an ecotour.

You can read more about Sarah’s experiences in the USVI on her blog:

We’ve also got some questions after this video about the guide’s watercolor octopus rash guard – if you want one too, you’re in luck! You can find it here.

Thank you to Sarah Fay for the great video, and for sharing your candid experiences with us. We’re so glad you were able to overcome your fears of snorkeling in the ocean and that you had such a great time!

Our Favorite St. John Photo Ops

By Chrissann Nickel • March 27, 2025

St. John is an incredibly picturesque island. Those white sand beaches, the sparkling aquamarine water, and those dramatic green hillsides… both locals and visitors alike can’t resist pulling out their phones to snap one more picture, again and again. And don’t get us started on those Virgin Islands sunsets! Whether you’re a first time visitor to the island, or will be coming back soon on your 36th annual vacation, every trip to STJ is special—and every trip is worth commemorating with fresh photos. One of our newest experiences that we’re excited to offer is our Private Photoshoot Tour . On it, you’ll be matched with a talented professional photographer who will take you to some of St. John’s most stunning photo ops and take photos of you that are 1,000x better in framing, lighting, and style than those your well-meaning taxi driver took for you off the side of the road (he tried his best, but… we said what we said ;) ). In celebration of this new tour, we thought we would share some of our personal favorite photography spots on St. John. Here they are, in no particular order:
