Private Open-Air Jeep Tour to Hidden Beaches in St. Thomas

Perfect Beach Day

We arrived in St Thomas with great expectation. Scott was waiting for us at the location he indicated. He gave us a plan, but it was up to us to see what we wanted to do. When he said that he was gonna take us to Brewers Beach i knew that he was the perfect guide for the excursion. A very beautiful beach with calm crystal clear waters perfect for snorkeling. We saw several turtles and tropical colorful fish. We were delighted with the rum punch that he provided (delicious) . After Brewers Beach he took us to a secret beach with a beautiful view,secluded, water was a little choppy but the isolation of the location made it all worth it. Later we ate at a Moms and Paps restaurant on the way back to the port. Delicious jerk chicken. The Mountain Top Banana Daiquiri store is fabulous, the view of the Island is fantastic. We returned to port on-time and very satisfied with the excursion. If your want to experience the Island like a local. Scott is your guide. We are happy we made a good decision.

Delicious Food from Hidden Gems Served with a side of History and Culture!

This tour exceeded my expectations! Michelle was delightful, she gave us a history lesson of the island as well as exposing us to 5 local food places we would not have found on our own. Everything we ate and drank was amazing! The history shared was intriguing and engaging. We walked away with full stomachs and engaged minds; which is way more than I planned for with this tour. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and suggest you request Michelle as your guide! Learning about St. Thomas from someone whose love for the island and culture she chose is palpable makes for an amazing experience!

Amazing!

I was treated like an absolute princess! I am not a swimmer but was determined to snorkel despite my fears. I was given everything I needed to make it happen. And, not only did they accommodate...I was pulled around with a floatie to see cool things! I am so grateful for my experience and will forever remember the lengths they went to to make sure I saw all the cool things. 100% recommend this trip. Even if I had been unable to get in the water due to my dumb fears, the ride and views were totally worth it. Captain Rocky ( ok, so not technically the captain) was also amazing, and super cute!

St. Thomas for the Day!

We had a great time on this excursion! Brayson was funny and super nice! There were only 9 of us on our excursion. Our first stop we snorkled and saw several turtles! There was another excursion in the water with us that was packed with people! The second stop was a shipwreck. This wasn't super exciting, but it was neat to see. The last stop was Honeymoon Beach. He dropped us off, right at the shore. We snorkeled and saw a few fish. Then we went over to Dinghy's Bar and had some delicious drinks! This was a lovely spot! Brayson picked us up on shore and we headed back to Port. He offered us beer, soda, and water the entire time. The equipment was clean and in great condition. There were 4 of us in our party and we all enjoyed our day!

Must Do Excursion - 10/10

This was AMAZING! The boat is beautiful, Catie and Captain Joe were amazing, and we saw SO many sea turtles and a beautiful reef with unique fish. We felt safe and taken care of the entire time. If you are stopping here for a port day while on a cruise, it is the best charter you could take. The group is smaller which was so nice, the other boat excursions we were seeing had 30+ people on them! Captain Joe and Catie also knew the island so well and it was fun to hear all the history and fun facts. When we are back we know what we will be doing!

Fun way to cool off

This was a really fun and joyous trip around St.Thomas. Anthony was full of energy and made it good fun. We got soaked which was just what we needed and wanted on a hot day. Lots of spins and thrills for all. It was a good way to see around some of the close islands and learn some history too. The meeting point was easy to find in Grande Haven right by our cruise point and the shopping mall. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide Kerwin...

Our tour guide Kerwin "The Big K" is amazing! Not only did he do an amazing job taking us around and giving us the history of the island, he also took beautiful family pictures for us when we asked. We all enjoyed the tour and will book it again next time we're in VI.

Great adventure in an ATV...

Great adventure in an ATV on the island. A bit dusty so definitely bring goggles or glasses. Our tour guide was amazing even though our original buggy broke down they replaced it in minutes and we were on the road barrelling up and down dirt roads and trails. The ATV took a few mins to get used to but once I got a handle if the controls and the hand signals we all had to do it was easy and lots of fun. Would definitely recommend. We also swam at a private little beach and fed local farms animals on the trip. Such a good time..extra points for our Guide Adora, hope I got her name right.

Great Experience!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. Sean was a great captain and knows so much about the area. We loved the smaller group and were lucky to have a very nice family share the outing with us. We saw sea turtles, beautiful fish and a sting ray. You need to swim in if you want to spend time on the beach so you may want to have a waterproof bag for phones and money. We were happy to snorkel and stay on the boat. Highly recommend!

Taco-riffic!!

If you’re looking for one excursion to book in St. Thomas, make it the Taco Tug! It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Everything was so easy, from boarding to each stop along the way, and the Captain made the entire experience fun from start to finish. The atmosphere was laid back, the drinks kept flowing, and the food was fantastic. Between the beautiful water, great music, and delicious tacos, it felt like the ultimate Caribbean day. It was one of those experiences where everyone on the boat was smiling and having a great time. If you’re visiting St. Thomas, don’t miss this one. We’d absolutely book it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, stress free day on the water!
