We did a self-guided tour...

Sabrina_V, Dec 2025

We did a self-guided tour and honestly was one of our best experiences on St. Thomas. We showed up around 11am (but you could go as early as 8am). There is a little parking lot, changing rooms, and little lockers. The manager for the day set up our kayaks, gave us life jackets, and a map with instructions on where to go. She went over pretty detailed instructions, and mentioned that if we have any questions, we can ask any of the tour guide that we’re out there. We had our own snorkeling stuff, but they would give you some if you don’t. We kayaked to Cas Cay (took about 30mins), then pulled our kayaks up on the beach. There is a hike you can take which apparently has beautiful views. We went about a quarter mile of the way, but didn’t bring the proper shoes to continue (would recommend bringing sneakers with you if you’d like to hike). The island is infested with hermit crabs which is pretty cool, but you have to watch your step. We spent a few hours snorkeling around the island, and saw some really cool fish. We spent about 3/4 hours out there, but could’ve spent longer. I’d recommend bringing a lot of water bottles (they have if you forgot) and some snacks if you want to stay out there for a while. Also would recommend a hat and a drawstring bag.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your self-guided experience was one of your best on St. Thomas—that truly means a lot to us. We’re glad our manager was able to get you set up with clear instructions, maps, and support so you felt confident exploring on your own. Cas Cay is a special place, and it’s great to hear you enjoyed the paddle over, the snorkeling, and of course the famous hermit crabs (they definitely keep you on your toes!). Thank you as well for sharing helpful tips for future guests about footwear, water, and sun protection. We really appreciate you choosing to explore with us and for offering such useful insight for others considering the experience. You’re welcome back anytime—guided or exploring on your own—for another island adventure!
