5Loved having a small...
Loved having a small group-only 4 of us. Sven was a great guide and found an octopus and squid while snorkeling.

Our tour was amazing. Our guide, Sven, was wonderful. I would highly recommend this experience! Sven was extremely informative & knowledgeable!

5Amazing experience
Our tour guide Conner was amazing. He spent time explaining some interesting facts about the flora and fauna on the island. The snorkel spot was fantastic and we saw turtles, tons of fish, stingrays, starfish and jellyfish. Kayaking can be a little challenging depending on the waves but Conner stayed right with us and was fine to let us set our pace. Would highly recommend.
5Amazing time with Conner!
We had the time of our lives with tour guide, Conner! He was knowledgeable on the area, the animals, and the island. He took us out to see the turtles and fish while exploring the reef and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would 100% recommend this company and Conner if you plan on visiting St Thomas!
5Tuttle snorkel excursion
Did the 2 hour turtle snorkeling tour and had Conner as our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He had so much knowledge about the ocean life and was so much fun to be with. My sisters and I said we’ll definitely come back and to ask for conner to be our tour guide because we just had such a fantastic time. I love that they work with smaller groups, we felt like we got to experience so much more that way!

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.
