Summary

Choose how you'd like to travel to the sea turtle habitat via guided walk or sit-on-top kayak. Travel with a nature guide who’s experienced in sea turtle behavior and a small group of no more than six people per guide, which guarantees personalized attention and an intimate atmosphere. On the way, listen to commentary about St. Thomas' unique ecosystem and get a primer on how to swim respectfully in the turtles' habitat. Once you arrive, slip into the provided snorkel and mask, and slide into the water. Your guide will accompany you to ensure your safety and comfort while snorkeling, making this tour suitable even for beginners. Snorkelers are guaranteed to see multiple sea turtles so be sure to bring your waterproof camera if you'd like to take photos. Hit the beach to dry off, relax, and enjoy a provided lunch before heading back the original way that you arrived, by nature walk or kayak.
