This is a great tour! You walk right out into the ocean and see a variety of fish and sea turtles. Brothers Bailey and Brody take great care of you and are personable and informative. Highly recommend, especially if you don’t want to spend extra time driving or boating to a different locale!

      The Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour was a fantastic experience! The location is right outside the port, making it an easy and convenient walk from the cruise ship. The team was amazing—very friendly, organized, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. They also reached out ahead of time with clear instructions, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. My family had a great time, and seeing the sea turtles up close was truly memorable. Highly recommend this tour!

      Turtles and easy to get in water!

      Jamie_C, Apr 2026
      Tour guide was great! I LOVE how you can get off your cruise ship and where you enter the water is right there. The only downside is I wish we would have had more time to hang with all the turtles we saw. It was great!

      Easy going swim

      Wendy_H, Apr 2026
      Water was warm and calm. We saw a few turtles, was hoping for more, but we did get a chance to see different types of fish. Staff was great, they made sure the group stayed together.

      Love this experience!

      Caroline_S, Apr 2026
      This was a wonderful experience. We had a friend who had never snorlkeled before and the ladies were very attentive to the group and made sure we saw alot of sea life.

      Good, short tour to see turtles!

      Linda_R, Mar 2026
      Very easy to get to at end of dock. Saw two turtles and a ray. Our tour guide was very friendly and helpful.

      Great host. She was wonderful. Snorkeling was okay, little hard for kids and didn’t see much. Revoked life jackets for the kids.

      do not book - no show

      Stephen_S, Mar 2026
      we took an expensive cab to the areas where we were to meet them and no o e was there, or had ever heard of the Assateague tour company. $250 lost.

      Response from Host, Mar 2026

      Hello there Stephen! I just went through every single booking we’ve had for the past two months and there was no booking under the name Stephen. Would you mind providing me with your booking confirmation? I would love to get this sorted out so we can have an answer to your issue, as we have taken out countless tours over the past multiple weeks and we assure you we have a tour guide show up at the St Croix welcome center located at 1 Strand Street, as listed in the “where to meet” location, for every single tour, no matter how big or small.

      Saw 2 turtles and one stingray

      Shelly_B, Mar 2026
      Got a late start. Wish there has been better signage to find it. Saw 2 turtles and one stingray. Seemed a little disorganized at first. We ended up having a good time

      Turtle rescue

      Robin_S, Mar 2026
      Reserve earlier in the day so that you see more turtles.Because we traveled at five and didn't see, but one.And that was only because he was stuck, or he probably wouldn't have been there either. We had to cut hours out early because there was a turtle stuck between the pylar. My two sisters barely got out into the water before they had to get out.Because of the rescue. I followed and watched the rescue, but it was quite a ways out. So the sisters had to end theirs a relief. To be honest, we were told to see if we could get a bit of a refund, since they didn't actually get to go out to see the turtles. And had to. Cut it off early.

      Absolutely beautiful water!

      April_D, Mar 2026
      I am not a fan of swimming in the ocean at all, especially far out where I can’t see and touch. Angela stayed by my side and made the experience a very pleasant one! Our group saw a turtle up close and lots of beautiful coral and colorful fish! 10/10 experience!

      We had a wonderful...

      Terrible experience I was...

      Aaliyahh_L, Feb 2026
      Terrible experience I was at the meet up location exactly at 11:30 then got a text 10min later regarding meeting up but by the time I seen it we were gone mind you i was staying at the other side of the island. Anyways do not book. I couldn’t even get refunded for this.

      Highly recommend! An easy way to see fish and turtles!

      Bad tour

      Eric_L, Feb 2026
      There isn't a boat that takes you out to snorkel. You have to swim quite a distance from the pier. You have to be a pretty strong swimmer. Didn't see any sea turtles. Saw a few tropical fish. Would strongly not recommend this tour.

      Relaxing and beautiful snorkel trip

      Angie_H, Nov 2025
      Just a short 5 minute golf cart ride from the cruise port to the beach. The guides were very informative on the rides to and from the beach about the history and culture of the beautiful island of St. Croix. During the snorkeling time, we swam with a sea turtle, saw a sting ray, and many beautiful various types of fish. We also learned more about the island history and culture during this time. This was an easy and relaxing excursion which we all enjoyed. The water temperature was perfect. The snorkel masks, flippers, and life jackets were all new and in great shape. This was a very nice and memorable excursion during our cruise.
