  It was the highlight of our trip. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Mangroves were beautiful and we saw so many animals. Hermit crabs, birds, beautiful fish.

• 5Great time! Glad they...

  Great time! Glad they provided ice cold water and chocolates after snorkeling. Guide Brett is knowledgeable and protective of this beautiful area. My kids (11 and 14) enjoyed the 2.5hrs. Just the right amount of time spent.

• 5Great activity and employees were all fantastic

  Pick up from the dock was right on time. Check in was quick and equipment was in good condition. Employees were helpful and our tour good was great. Kayaking was fun and a workout. Snorkeling was cool and saw some beautiful fish like stingrays, leopard fish and many others. Great family activity with one caveat. Be prepared to work on the kayak and snorkeling if it's windy. Small children will be along for the ride so parents will do all the work

• 5Loved it!

  Loved this tour. It was the family favorite on our cruise. Swish was an awesome guide and made it really engaging. Was a short drive from the cruise terminal, we got right on the water and the different parts of the excursion were just the right length. We saw lots of hermit crabs, sting rays, fish, conches, etc. Would do this one again!

About Cruz Bay

Cruz Bay is the small ferry town and main settlement of St John in the US Virgin Islands, the gateway to a national park of beaches, reefs and hills.

Cruz Bay sits on the west coast of St John, the smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands, with pastel buildings, shops and bars around a small harbour. Ferries link it to Red Hook on St Thomas, and the town is the gateway to Virgin Islands National Park, which covers more than half of the island. The Danish West Indies, as the islands were once called, were sold to the United States in 1917, and Danish-built walls and sugar-mill ruins survive.
