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

The same goes for those who reside in the USVI. They’re always shocked it took them so long to venture into this incredible part of St. Thomas.

So the big question is: What are YOU waiting for?

Whether you’re on St. Thomas for vacation, or are a Virgin Islands local, there are plenty of ways to have an adventure in the mangroves. You can rent a kayak or stand-up paddle board along with snorkel gear to head out on your own, or you can join us for a guided tour.

Our Cas Cay Kayak + Hike + Snorkel tour is our most popular tour, and is a great place to start.

Paddle through winding waterways in the unique Mangrove Lagoon as you head out to the secluded and shallow turquoise waters of Cas Cay. Here you’ll see an array of colorful reef fish in their aquatic playground, spot Caribbean birds overhead, and explore the subtropical forest teeming with hermit crabs. Your guide will lead you on a leisurely hike to the volcanic tidal pool cliffs, home of the famous Red Point Blow Hole, where a can’t-miss photo opportunity awaits. Afterwards, you’ll kayak back to our home base and can finish your day with a fresh meal in the mangroves at Bikinis Dockside Bar and Grill.

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:
