Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour
Description
An Unforgettable Underwater Journey Join us at Turtle Cove Beach, right by the iconic Frederiksted Pier, where the Caribbean’s magic comes alive. Wade into shallow, glassy waters (5-15 feet deep) and discover why St. Croix is a snorkeler’s paradise. Here’s what awaits: Majestic Sea Turtles: Swim alongside 5-10 Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles, their intricate shells glowing as they munch seagrass or glide to the surface. It’s a serene, almost magical connection with these gentle giants. Vivid Coral Reefs: Marvel at brain, elkhorn, and fan corals bursting with pinks, purples, and oranges, forming underwater gardens teeming with life. Colorful Marine Life: Watch schools of blue tangs, parrotfish, and sergeant majors dart through the water, joined by stingrays, curious octopuses, barracuda, and even the occasional eagle ray. Under the pier, spot tarpon, juvenile fish, and hidden treasures like sea stars or conch.

Great service and wonderful experience. Angela was a great tour guide. She makes sure you’re comfortable and having fun. I will share the experience with friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful day.
This excursion was extremely fun and well ran. Angela was a great guide and very knowledgeable. I would do this again if I was in St.Croix.
My kids did this with the guide and only a few other travelers—it was worth every penny of memory making! The guide was so helpful, efficient, knowledgeable, and patient and kind. This is an excellent opportunity to (ahem) get your feet wet in the world of snorkeling and to see incredible underwater sea life. Sebastian and Isla will have a lifetime of snorkeling based on this experience.
Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was the perfect amount of time to not only encounter multiple sea turtles, but also see stingrays, starfish, and many tropical fish. 10/10 would recommend to book this experience!
Morgan was our guide for the sea turtle snorkeling excursion during our cruise, and she was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable before we got in the water. She provided all of the snorkeling equipment we needed and explained everything clearly. We only got to see one sea turtle, but honestly, the experience was still incredible. We also saw starfish, crabs, and so many beautiful fish, which made the trip absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for a fun snorkeling adventure with a great guide, I would definitely recommend this excursion!
Book this tour now! The price was reasonable for our large group. This is a small business and from booking through adding people, all the way through the event was AMAZING! They were very helpful when I had to call to add people. We also kept adding and ended up getting a private tour for our large group. Then our guides, Angela and Morgan were AWESOME! We had some in our group who can be high maintenance and they never batted and eye or got frustrated. They just kept smiling and getting all they needed help with. It was a great tour and we saw so many things under the water. Their office was also easy to get to and right across the street from the port. I rate this a 10 out of 10!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a great time snorkeling with us. Sharing the beauty of St. Croix and its incredible marine life is what we love most, and we’re so glad you were able to experience it. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back on another adventure the next time you’re on the island!
Loved the snorkeling! They were very accommodating to let you explore on your own to discover sea life. We saw stingrays, turtles, conch, tarpon, schools of fish, and many varieties of colorful fish. Fun time.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re so glad you had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful waters of St. Croix with us. There’s nothing we love more than sharing the island’s incredible marine life, from colorful tropical fish to sea turtles and vibrant coral reefs. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable snorkeling adventure!
We absolutely LOVED this experience! Our guide Angela was wonderful. She started off the tour by ensuring that everyone had snorkeling equipment that they were comfortable with, and brought extras in case people needed to switch once we were in the water. After a short walk to our entry point we put on our gear and got started. Angela did a great job of keeping our group (of various comfort/skill levels) together, and she highlighted lots of different animals and points of interest along our route. She also gave us good recommendations for other activities on the island after we wrapped up. If you’re looking for a snorkeling experience that is close to the cruise port, we can’t recommend this one enough!
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing St Croix Snorkeling! It means the world to our team that you enjoyed your tour. We love introducing our guests to the amazing marine life that makes St. Croix so special, and we’re thrilled you got to experience it firsthand. We hope to see you back in the water with us on your next island vacation!
My Husband and I booked this tour while we were visiting the island for our honeymoon. We can say that it was absolutely amazing! We are grateful for both of our tour guides as they did well explaining everything from equipment to the sea life we were about to see. They made sure everyone was always okay and if they did need help, they were quick to get the solution! My husband and I have never snorkeled before and can say this is a great first time experience! We will be back when we visit the island in the future! Thank you for making our Honeymoon just a bit more special!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We’re delighted you had a memorable experience snorkeling with us. Watching guests discover the incredible marine life, crystal-clear waters, and natural beauty of St. Croix is why we do what we do. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to sharing another underwater adventure with you in the future!
The excursion was EVERYTHING! Our guide was amazing! She was patient, understanding and took it very slow with us first timers! She was even our photographer and captured great pictures of the snorkel! This was a graduation / birthday trip for my son and brother! They both enjoyed the excursions very much they were able to see several different animals. It was something that they checked off their bucket list together as nephew and uncle for their birthdays! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so happy you chose to spend part of your time in St. Croix exploring the ocean with us. Whether it was spotting sea turtles, tropical fish, or simply enjoying the beauty beneath the surface, we’re thrilled you had such a great experience. Thank you for supporting our small business, and we hope to snorkel with you again someday!
