We had a blast on our kayaking adventure. Our tour guide Dana was very personable, knowledgeable, and wonderful with the kids. Highly recommend! It was the highlight of our trip. ★★★★★

Elizabeth E.

Our guide Anslem (Slem) did a great job prepping expectations, getting us in the kayaks, and telling us about the mangrove ecosystem. It was peaceful and serene. It was just enough for a water experience without risk as it was standing depth most of the way and in a protected lagoon. ★★★★★

Logan K.

Anslem made our sunset kayaking an adventure! He told us history about the area, showed us species local to the ecosystem, and entertained us with a pirate story and many jokes. ★★★★★

Alison B.

We thoroughly enjoyed our kayak tour. The guides were informed, safe, and funny! 'Swish' and 'Slim' made the experience so enjoyable and combined their knowledge with their comedy, which kept us smiling the whole way through! ★★★★★

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What will we see on the tour?

    On our St. Thomas Mangrove Lagoon tours, 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. 

  • 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.
