Top US Virgin Islands Snorkeling - page 3

This was so fun! My husband wasn’t feeling well at one point but Rob and Deb took amazing care of him. Made sure he had water at all times, also made sure everyone on the boat had what they needed. The hospitality was unmatched! Deb constantly filled our cups up with whatever drink we wanted, she offered us snacks after snorkeling too! Rob gave us some good dinner recs and told us some good info about the island. We would definitely recommend this to anyone!

This was my first time booking through Viator and I was honestly a little hesitant, but this ended up being one of the best parts of our trip. The biggest difference is that this is an experience-focused tour, not a volume/throughput excursion. We were about 20 minutes away from the cruise port to a quieter area (Brewer’s Bay), and it made a huge difference in what we were able to see. Our guide was fantastic — She didn’t just drop us in the water and hope for the best. She actively found wildlife for us, dove down to point things out, and gave clear instructions (especially to the kids) on how to respectfully interact with the animals. We saw multiple sea turtles (including one with a remora), a manta ray, a sea urchin, fish, and a queen conch. It felt like a curated experience, not random luck. They also provided proper gear (life jackets, etc.), which made it accessible and comfortable. If you’re deciding between a large cruise excursion vs. something like this, I would 100% recommend going with a smaller, local operator. The difference in quality and care is very noticeable. Would absolutely book again.

Was excited to have a small group snorkel experience. We were fortunate to get Sophie as our personal guide with only 4 in our group. I saw the cruise group go out with over 50 swimmers. We got to see sea turtles, octopi, barracuda and tons of colorful fish. perfect amount of snorkel time and enjoyed the scenic beach. Highly recommend!
