St. Thomas Swimming with the Turtles

Short cab ride from ship to the beach. Met up with the tour guide, received all the gear and went in right at the beach. Seen a number of turtles, sting rays, reef fish, eagle rays, and other marine life. The kids had a blast. Bathroom facilities right there on site with water rinse down. If you are looking for a laid back relaxed beach day, this is for you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Snorkeling Experience with Derek!

I went snorkeling with Derek at Brewer Bay, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. We swam in open water where I saw several sea turtles, beautiful coral reefs, and countless colorful fish. One of the highlights was being able to dive to the bottom of the bay and swim alongside the turtles in their natural habitat. At one point, Derek had me stretch my arms out while continuing to kick, and he carefully guided me closer to a turtle. The turtle was so comfortable around us that it swam directly underneath me. It even came so close that its flippers touched my goggles! Derek is knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about what he does. He made the entire experience feel safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing snorkeling adventure, and I will definitely be booking another trip with him the next time I visit the island.

Lovely snorkeling spot!

A wonderful experience, but the website instructs you to meet at a food truck that does not exist. This created meeting confusion, so that needs to be fixed. We really enjoyed the snorkeling- saw plenty of turtles in addition to rays, many types of fish and a couple starfish. Our guide was very nice and informative.

Operator response

Hi Carol! Thank you so much for the feedback, and we apologize for the confusion with the meeting location instructions. We’re currently updating that information to make the meeting point easier to find for future guests. We’re so glad you still had a wonderful time snorkeling and got to see turtles, rays, starfish, and so much marine life during your tour. Thanks again for joining us!
