Andy was amazing! Love his energy, excitement, joy, sense of humor. He was super pleasant and really hysterical. He gave us great explanations about safety, our care, and especially the tourism aspect. He pointed out many landmarks in great historical detail. Loved it and him thank you

Fun, safe for kids, and affordable—a great activity overall. Anthony was excellent. The meeting location is perfect, conveniently located near Wendy’s (the taxi stop) and Skyline paradise St. Thomas. The tour includes several stops along the coast, and the speedboat driver shares interesting information about the history of the area. Be prepared to get wet!

    Chris was an excellent guide. He shared some history of the island with us and took us by some interesting locations. He made sure everyone on board left soaking wet with all the donuts and nose dives. It was an awesome experience. We would definitely recommend and do again.

    Went with my aunt and 7 y/o daughter. It was super fun! The boat goes very fast and the splashes are but not too excessive either. We also learned a little about the island.

    Its a Blast

    Martin_B, Aug 2026
    Be prepared to get soak! It's one of my wife's favorite parts of the whole trip! She would do it everyday all day

    No lines, Anthony was a great person to interact with he mad it so much fun to ride on the boat please visit him you will not be disappointed with his service.

    Shame we missed it due to delayed ship

    Hayley_R, Aug 2026
    We missed this due to our ship being late. The tour operator called and did try to reschedule but it wasn’t possible. We were told we would receive a refund (even though the operator wasn’t obliged to). We were over the moon at this gesture but unfortunately the refund never came ☹️ £103 wasted.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Good morning, if we told you we would refund we certainly meant it. Please call us at 340-775-9360 so we can sort this out. Sometimes when we refund on our system it doesn’t translate to viator if you booked through a 3rd party.

    Fun way to cool off

    Clodagh_C, Aug 2026
    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.

    This was my first time...

    Zaporiea_P, Aug 2026
    This was my first time traveling to st Thomas so I wanted a non traditional fun way to tour ! Anthony did not disappoint! He was welcoming, funny! And very informative of the island! The speed boat was sooo fast! He made sure to get everyone wet! Please try this when you come! You won’t regret it

    Just Do it!

    Kayla_R, Aug 2026
    Great Experience! Driver was great. He helped advise when spins and turns were about to happen so everyone was ready! Never too scary for our 6 year old but thrilling for adults. We even got knowledge about the islands and sights all in a tight 40 minute adventure. A+

    Go do it!

    Aimee_N, Aug 2026
    It was so fun and our guide was engaging, safe and made it a great time for everyone! This is an excursion for anyone who enjoys water, fun and good laughs!

    Excellent trip

    louisa_b, Aug 2026
    Anthony was excellent. The weather wasn’t kind to us but after a quick trip back shore he organised a taxi to make sure we made it back to our cruise ship on time. He was good fun, safe and we loved it all. For ref we were a party of 5 aged 8-72

    360’s in St Thomas

    It was so much fun. It was actually the highlight of our trip. It’s pretty fun when the captain having fun too🤟🏽

    Amazing fun

    Lynique_B, Jul 2026
    Jonathan, our tour guide, was amazing. The family had so much fun; the family did it for our daughter 12th birthday activity, which she loved and had so much fun. The activity was a great price for the family. the only bad part was wishing it was longer. Overall, it was an amazing time, and we have to do it again. Highly recommend to ask for Johnathan as the guide an activity to do with family and friends.

    Most "funnest" time EVER!!

    Charles_R, Jul 2026
    So exciting and also informational. The adrenaline was pumping the whole time. Our guide was really nice and fun, the best ever. Ps, to passengers riding with crying kids. Do not go on the tour with them. Its disrespectful to other goers who are trying to have fun. Thank goodness the 800hp engine drowned out the crying!

    St. Thomas Magic Matt

    Yesenia_P, Jul 2026
    Magic Matt was great! Inside joke from the group. Lol He provided great history on the island and made sure we were okay along the way. Excursion was on time and a great experience overall.

    Thrilling boat ride!!

    Christopher_M, Jul 2026
    This was a great activity for our family of 6. 4 boys ages 15-22 were thoroughly entertained. The trip was just the right amount of time for and allowed for other activities to take place after before our boats departure time. Matt was a great guide showing us different parts of St Thomas.

    A time was had!

    It was so much fun!!! Really enjoyed the experience. The captain of the boat was very entertaining, super friendly and engaging with everyone on the boat. Definitely recommend this experience for everyone.

    Fun times

    Tammy_C, Jun 2026
    Very exhilarating ride. The driver, Johnny, was great. I liked that he gave us some information about what was around us. He even took a group photo and sent it to us for free! The description should include information on what to bring or not bring due to getting wet or the possibility of losing things (ex. Glasses).

    High Speed Fun

    Cheryl_R, Jun 2026
    My 10 year old daughter and I had a blast with our tour guide Anthony who brought fun into the high speed boat tour. This was our favorite activity in all of St. Thomas so far. I highly recommend this as it’s quick, fun, not expensive and very easy!

    Jet boat experience

    Kelly_S, Jun 2026
    This experience was a great way to see the harbor, including up close to cruise ships that were docked, as well as to have some adrenaline-fueled fun with my son! Our captain Anthony was very personable and made sure everyone on the boat had a good time (and got wet)! :)
