ECO HIKE & SNORKEL TOUR

Explore Virgin Islands National Park

Looking to pack a BIG experience into a short amount of time? Then we’ve got just the adventure for you!

This tour is designed for groups of six or more. Join us at the Virgin Islands National Park Visitor’s Center.

From here you’ll follow your nature guide along the Lind Point Trail. Learn about the amazing diversity of plants and animals that exist here. Listen as your guide tells you about the island’s history and island trivia!

Stop at the scenic overlook for a view of Cruz Bay and St. Thomas before you descend the trail to one of St. John’s most beautiful beaches, Honeymoon Beach.

For those who need it, snorkeling instruction is offered before heading out on a guided snorkel tour to explore the coral reefs and seagrass beds that are home to innumerable marine species.

At the conclusion of the tour, you can stay at Honeymoon Beach, hike the Lind Point Trail back to Cruz Bay, or board our shuttle boat for a quick but scenic six-minute ride back to Cruz Bay.
