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

Are you a lover of sea turtles? Chances are, if you’ve been to the Virgin Islands, your heart has already been captivated by these incredible creatures. All it takes is spotting one poking its head up from the water to catch a breath, or snorkeling next to one that’s lunching on sea grass, to be sucked into their majesty.

For all of the sea turtle fans out there, we’re excited to share the newest additions to our summer beach shop inventory. Check out these custom sea turtle art magnets by Leaf to Reef Studio.

Leaf to Reef Studio art magnets feature the original artwork of creative team, Travis Kelley and Jennifer Zingg. Both Kelley and Zingg have spent considerable time exploring the islands and reefs of the Caribbean and Hawaiian Islands. They collaborate on paintings and sculptures inspired by the flora and fauna of the natural world. They love spending time in the US Virgin Islands (especially St. Thomas and St. John), snorkeling, hiking, making art, and spending time with their friends at Virgin Islands Ecotours!

Inspired by the beautiful USVI, they have created other custom nature designs for us: a bananaquit, an octopus, a hermit crab, and a beach design.

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:
