St Thomas: Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour & Guaranteed SightingsYou snorkel for two hours in calm, clear water where resident sea turtles are guaranteed to appear. The tour includes all gear, floatation devices, water and a guide who keeps the group small enough to actually see what's happening. Photos and videos are sold separately. Arrive fifteen minutes early; the vehicle leaves on time.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see sea turtles without the uncertainty — the guarantee means you're not gambling on sightings, and the small group size means your guide actually watches the water with you instead of managing a crowd.
St. Thomas: Snorkeling with Sea Turtles & Beach TimeYou’ll start right from the beach in St. Thomas’s calmest bay, wade into clear water with a local guide who helps you spot sea turtles up close, then float above colorful marine life at your own pace. After snorkeling, stretch out on soft sand for some relaxed beach time—no rush, just sun and salt air lingering with you.
Snorkel and Sail St Thomas: Turtle Cove at Little Buck IslandThis 3-hour snorkel and sail trip departs from St Thomas aboard The VI Cat, a 54-foot catamaran, and takes you to Turtle Cove at Little Buck Island National Wildlife Refuge to swim and snorkel in the Caribbean. The crew provides all snorkeling gear, instruction, unlimited drinks and snacks; you choose whether to stay in the water, tan on deck or rest in the shaded cabin. Green sea turtles are often sighted in their natural habitat, though sightings are not guaranteed. Arrive 30 minutes early at the wooden dock of Marriott's Frenchman's Cove; free parking is available on-site, and you arrange your own transport to the departure point.Is it for me?You get to spend time with sea turtles in their natural habitat without arranging the boat, the gear or the navigation—the catamaran, the crew and the route to Turtle Cove are all set, so you just show up and snorkel.
St Thomas: Catamaran Turtle Snorkel & Honeymoon Beach Small GroupYou’ll snorkel alongside sea turtles at Buck Island with a small group (never more than 12), then unwind at Honeymoon Beach on Water Island. With all your gear sorted by friendly guides, plus snacks and unlimited drinks after swimming, you’ll get both adventure and downtime — and probably leave feeling lighter than when you started.
Snorkeling in St Thomas: Turtle Cove & Honeymoon BeachSnorkel Turtle Cove on Buck Island in St Thomas, exploring coral reefs and tropical fish including turtles, then spend time at Honeymoon Beach on Water Island. The 4-hour semi-private charter includes snorkel gear, beer, sodas and water; departures run at 9 AM or 2 PM from the WICO/Havensight Day Dock. Weather or ocean conditions may shift the snorkel site to Brewers Bay or the beach to Emerald Beach at Lindbergh Bay.Is it for me?Pick the 9 AM departure for morning reef light and an open afternoon, or the 2 PM slot to spend your morning elsewhere—both keep groups small with personalized attention at a fraction of private charter cost.
St Thomas Snorkeling: Virgin Islands National Park & Sea TurtlesYou board at Red Hook (St Thomas) or Cruz Bay (St John) and spend two hours in the water at two different snorkel sites in Virgin Islands National Park, hunting sea turtles and coral. Snorkel gear, fruit and water before swimming, rum punch and beer after. The boat returns you by 12:30, leaving your afternoon open.Is it for me?Book this if you want to snorkel the national park reefs without arranging your own boat, picking your own sites, or managing the logistics — the fixed departure times and two daily stops mean you get the sea turtles and coral without the planning.
St Thomas: Sail & Snorkel with Sea Turtles Buck IslandYou sail out of Charlotte Amalie Harbor under canvas to Buck Island's marine sanctuary, snorkel with green sea turtles and tropical fish in clear water, and return with all gear, drinks and snacks included. The half-day format means you're back by early afternoon, and the fixed price covers everything—crew, fuel, and refreshments—so there are no surprises when you step off the boat.Is it for me?Book this if you want to snorkel with sea turtles in their natural habitat without arranging your own boat or gear—the half-day format and included drinks mean you're back early and nothing else to organize once you're aboard.
6-Hour Snorkel & Sunset Sail: Turtles, Pizza, Virgin IslandsThis 6-hour sailing and snorkeling tour departs St. Thomas and anchors at a protected cove in Virgin Islands National Park where you snorkel alongside sea turtles and stingrays, eat fresh pizza delivered by dinghy, then sail past Trunk Bay and Maho Bay before a champagne toast at sunset. The catamaran holds a maximum of 12 guests, and the Coast Guard-certified crew shares island stories and local knowledge throughout the day.Is it for me?Most sunset sails in the islands are sailing-only with a drink at the end. This one anchors you twice to snorkel with turtles and stingrays, feeds you lunch on the water, and keeps the group small enough that the crew knows your name—so the day is active, not just a float.
