It is a strenuous paddle but worth it. Scott's beach was beautiful and Isabel would dive down and show us different fish as we went. We even saw an eel.
It was pretty cool and professional
We had a great time on this kayak / snorkel adventure. You need to be up for a 45 min kayak, hr snorkel, 45 mins kayak to return. The water was beautiful and the shop provides you with all the gear. We saw some cool fish on our journey and of course the weather was beautiful. We would do it again and Kenny was a great guide. Just be sure you’re well hydrated and have had a good meal for fuel prior to. This excursion is a workout as indicated in the description!
hank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the adventure and that Kenny helped make it a memorable experience. Thanks for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours, and we appreciate you sharing such helpful tips for future guests! 🌊🚣
It was quite amazing. We saw more than expected on the trip and it was truly incredible. Kenny was an awesome guide! It’s 110% worth the price and we will absolutely do it again if we ever get the chance!
Hi Alex! Thank you so much for the review! We're thrilled to hear the trip exceeded your expectations and that Kenny made such a great impression. It means so much to know you felt the experience was worth it, and we can't wait to welcome you back if you're ever in St. Thomas again! 🌴😊
The guide at Ecotour was pleasant, helpful and attentive to all of the people on her tour. She was knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your Kayak & Snorkel with Sea Turtles adventure in Virgin Islands National Park. We’re happy to hear your guide was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience enjoyable while sharing the fascinating wildlife and natural beauty of St. John. Thank you for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours, and we hope to see you again soon!
We had a great time on this excursion! Our tour guide Kenny was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting facts and tidbits about St. John and the neighboring islands. His warm personality and enthusiasm made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. The only disappointment was that this excursion was marketed as a “kayak and snorkel with sea turtles” experience. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any sea turtles, and we were later told that they are not commonly found in the area where we snorkeled. That felt a bit misleading, as it was the main reason we chose this particular excursion. That said, we still had a wonderful time. The snorkeling was enjoyable, the scenery was beautiful, and our guide’s expertise and engaging personality made the trip worthwhile. I would recommend this excursion—just go for the overall experience rather than expecting to see sea turtles.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad Kenny helped make your St. John Kayak & Snorkel with Sea Turtles adventure enjoyable through his knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for the island. While we see green sea turtles on the vast majority of our tours, they are wild animals living in their natural habitat, so sightings can never be guaranteed. At our Honeymoon Beach snorkeling site, we’ve even had days when guests have seen seven sea turtles at one time, along with dolphins, octopus, rays, and an incredible variety of tropical fish. Sea turtles are often in the area, but they may be grazing in slightly deeper water where they’re more difficult to spot until they surface for air. We also snorkel at Scott Beach, where turtle sightings are very common. However, on days with stronger winds or currents—especially when we have younger children or older guests who may not be comfortable with a longer kayak paddle—our guides may choose Honeymoon Beach, where the snorkeling is excellent and there’s still a very good chance of seeing sea turtles. Our guides always choose the location that offers the safest and most enjoyable experience based on the day’s conditions. Thank you for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another St. John adventure!
The kayaking was much more strenuous than anticipated per the description of the excursion, and much more time-consuming. The actual snorkeling itself was disappointing, and that the water was very choppy, and the location required strenuous swimming.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry the unusual conditions that day didn’t meet your expectations. Because this adventure takes place in Virgin Islands National Park, wind, waves, and currents can vary from day to day and occasionally make both the kayaking and snorkeling more challenging than usual. Safety is always our highest priority, and our guides adjust the route and pace based on the conditions whenever possible. We appreciate your comments and will continue reviewing our tour descriptions so guests have the clearest expectations possible. Thank you for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to show you a calmer day on the water.
This was THE highlight of our St. John trip. Kenny, our guide was fantastic. He was an excellent kayak instructor as we had not tandem kayaked in years. The kayak to Scott’s Beach was challenging yet very manageable. Kenny explained everything and was very intuitive on safety and where & how to see great sea life. He went a little ahead while swimming so he could point out the turtles, lobster, eel, beautiful Big fish, ray, & barracuda. I love to snorkel on my own but this trip was well worth it as we saw so much in a relatively short snorkel. We had a great time chatting with Kenny who gave great beach & restaurant recommendations as well as knowledgeable history of St John. This trip was so worth the money and time. We can’t wait to do this again in our next St John trip. Thank you Kenny! Liz & Sean
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled your Kayak & Snorkel with Sea Turtles adventure was the highlight of your St. John vacation. Kenny will be delighted to hear your kind words. We love that you enjoyed not only the sea turtles, rays, lobster, barracuda, eel, and colorful reef fish, but also Kenny’s local recommendations and island history. Our guided snorkeling tours help guests discover wildlife they might otherwise swim right past. Thank you for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours—we can’t wait to welcome you back on your next trip to St. John!
We saw turtles and many beautiful fish. The guide went far ahead of the group and did not really look after those who were inexperienced, both while kayaking and snorkeling.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing the sea turtles and the beautiful tropical fish in Virgin Islands National Park. We’re sorry to hear the pace of the tour wasn’t a good fit for everyone in your group. Our goal is for guests of all experience levels to feel comfortable, supported, and included throughout the adventure, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will use your comments as an opportunity to reinforce our training with our guides. Thank you for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back.
We took the ferry from St. Thomas to St. John. Meeting place was a short walk from the terminal. We were driven to the launch spot. Our guide was great. He recently moved to St. John. We kayaked to Honeymoon Beach. We opted not to snorkel since we spent the previous day snorkeling. It was a bit more difficult paddling back but doable. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring the beautiful shoreline of Virgin Islands National Park with us. Even without snorkeling, paddling the crystal-clear waters along St. John’s coast offers spectacular scenery and a wonderful way to experience the island’s natural beauty. Thank you for choosing Virgin Islands Ecotours, and we hope you’ll join us again for another St. John adventure!
