What To Expect

Make your way to the southern coast of St Thomas, home to the protected Mangrove Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary and Marine Preserve. Meet your local adventure guide to embark on one of St Thomas' most rewarding snorkeling and kayaking tours in the preserve's rich ecosystem.

Travel through the protected area to Patricia Cay and Long Point, where you'll board your kayak to glide through the may small islands in the mangrove lagoon. While paddling, look out for spotted rays and stingrays as they glide beneath your boat.

Put on your provided snorkel gear and explore the underwater world. Follow your guide's lead and feel free to ask any questions or directions, especially if it's your first time snorkeling. Peer through your mask at the coral-fringed mangrove roots and listen as your guide points out the vibrant surrounding marine life. Hop back in your kayak for the short paddle back to the marina.

Great experience

We had a great time. The guides did a great job explaining certain aspects of the island and spent much time talking about the marine environment in which we were in. The equipment was excellent and we felt very safe. Thank you for a great experience.

Great time with great folks

The staff was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable! Guide Wilson and photographer Dhaden were so great with pointing out historical info and sea life and were great with the senior and teenagers in our group. This was one of the neatest experiences we’ve had as a family on any vacation. The office staff, Bri and Alena were so helpful with our special requests and spot on with dinner recommendation in Red Hook. We truly thank all the staff for being so thoughtful and kind. This tour group offers everything you may have forgotten or didn’t even know you’d need and is so personable, professional, and fun. A must do. Laurie from WV

"D" was great. He knew a lot about the local flora and fauna, and had a good sense of humor. Let us deviate from the script a little, which was fun.

The experience was decent. There are too many people in the group, almost 20. For beginners like me, it is difficult to catch up. I do enjoy the kayak though. Not so much on the snorkeling. My partner’s snorkeling gear doesn’t work and it ruined the whole experience

If all you want is kayaking, this was ok. There was a lot of “not easy” kayaking, and the snorkeling had nothing to see, after a VERY difficult swim out to the reef. Only 2 of us went all the way. I was the only 1 of 4 of us who saw ANY fish. 1 school of Jack Fish. The guide found 1 jelly fish to show us & 1 starfish. No payback. The difficult kayaking & swim would have been worth it, if there had been anything to see at the snorkel location. There wasn’t. No payback for the effort. I’ve travelled the world over, many times. 70+ to Europe. Many cruises around the globe. Twice to Australia & Nee Zealand. This was probably the least liked excursion I’ve had, by all 4 of us.

Our instructor was really good at what he does. Everything was easy to follow. And he made sure everything was easy going. He moves at your pace, even if you're slow.
