St Thomas Night Kayak Tour: Paddle Mangrove Lagoon at DuskA night kayak tour in St Thomas takes you through the winding waterways of Mangrove Lagoon in a two-person kayak, starting at dusk and lasting 90 minutes.

2 to 5 hours (4)
St Thomas: Cas Cay Kayak, Hike & Snorkel Eco TourYou’ll kayak through St Thomas’ peaceful mangrove lagoon with a local guide, hike across wild Cas Cay to tidal pools and volcanic cliffs (hermit crab races included), then snorkel among colorful fish and rays in shallow coral nurseries. Expect salt on your lips, laughter with new friends, and moments that stick with you long after you dry off.
Snorkeling in St Thomas Mangrove Lagoon: Kayak and wildlifeKayak and snorkel through St. Thomas' Mangrove Lagoon, an unspoiled region of mangrove forests and winding channels in the US Virgin Islands, paddling past islands and spotting stingrays, parrot fish and endangered brown pelicans. The 2.5-hour adventure includes all snorkel and kayak gear, a professional guide, changing rooms and parking; you choose between a 10:00am or 2:00pm departure from Mangrove Lagoon Marina. Transportation to the marina is not included, though a taxi stand is nearby for visitors arriving by ship.Is it for me?Pick the 10:00am departure if you want to snorkel before the afternoon heat, or the 2:00pm slot if you're coordinating with a ship arrival or a later start to your day. Either way, you're paddling and snorkeling the whole time rather than watching from a boat, so this works best if you're comfortable in the water and want to move under your own power.
St Thomas: Mangrove Lagoon Kayak, Hike & Snorkel with LunchYou’ll paddle through tangled mangroves in St Thomas’ lagoon, hike Cas Cay’s volcanic cliffs to see the blowhole spray, snorkel among bright reef fish (maybe even stingrays), and share a picnic lunch with your group—all guided by someone who knows every twist of these waterways. There’s something honest about how salt clings to your skin here.
St. Thomas Nighttime Treasure Hunt & Kayaking AdventureThe Ghosts of Piracy Past is a nighttime treasure hunt and kayaking tour in St. Thomas that combines escape-room-style riddle solving with a guided tandem kayak through the mangroves, a visit to Bluebeards Castle museum at sunset, and a final beach hunt for buried treasure. The adventure runs 4 to 5 hours and requires a private group of at least 6 people; it's designed to be spooky and immersive, with live actors, strobe lights and disorienting props, so it's 18 and up. You'll receive an adventure pack with tools, a lantern, pirate gear, two locally brewed craft beers, water, snacks and an appetizer, plus a keepsake map to take home.Is it for me?This is a private group experience, so you book it with at least 6 people you know—not a shared tour with strangers. That locked-in crew is what makes the riddle-solving and the spooky atmosphere work: you're solving together, reacting together, and the guide and live actors play to your group's energy. If you want a guided sightseeing tour of St. Thomas, this isn't it; if you want your group to actually do something together in the dark with a story and a puzzle, this one is built for that.
