My husband and I had a great time on this tour. The mangrove lagoon is beautiful and peaceful, the water is calm and safe for even beginner kayakers like us. Our tour guide Kyrell is knowledgeable. Picnic lunch was fun with the hermit crabs :) highly recommended! ★★★★★

Our guides Devon, Kevin, and Deshawn did an incredible job on our tour. They were extremely knowledgeable of the plant life and marine life. Our snorkeling trip and kayaking were absolutely incredible. Nice quality kayaks with good instructions. The guided snorkeling trip was relaxing and we saw lots of fish. ★★★★★

Taraya N.

We booked the kayak, hike, and snorkel ecotour. It was definitely worth it! A little rain did not disappoint. We were able to learn some about the local history and got to see starfish, angelfish, and even a shark. You will not regret booking this tour. ★★★★★

Davion B.

Had an amazing time! The views were great, all the staff were very friendly, and it was worth every penny. ★★★★★

Grant S.

We did the kayak, hike, and snorkel with Slim as our guide. He did an awesome job pointing out lots of marine life along the way. Very funny and engaged us in conversation the entire time. We saw lobsters, lionfish, an upside-down jellyfish, barracuda, and even a reef shark. It was an awesome experience. ★★★★★

Seaside

Kyrell was an awesome guide for our party of three athletic ladies in their sixties. How lucky we were to have a small group! He guided us through the mangroves and to the beach while pointing out the wildlife and background of the grove. Holding a jellyfish was a treat! Highly recommend this tour if you want personal attention. ★★★★★

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.
