The snorkeling locations were great! Our teenage boys loved riding on the front of the boat. Wolfgang shared history of the islands, which was both fascinating and entertaining. We all had a great time and would highly recommend this snorkeling excursion!

This was a great snorkel adventure and all the crew were awesome. They really did make sure we saw turtles and as many other sea creatures as we could.

Dylan, Zack, & Steph did a great job! We got to see 2 turtles!! We used pool noodles. Which worked out well.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! Our team—Dylan, Zack, and Steph as well as the other instructors—strives to make every tour both safe and exciting, so it’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the turtle sightings. Using flotation aids like pool noodles is a great way to stay relaxed so you can focus on the marine life, and we're glad they made your day better. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

I’m giving this a 5 star rating only because of the crew. Ben, Louis, Annie and I think Steph from Switzerland were absolutely the best. Professional, personable, they knew their stuff. We saw 3 turtles, squid and tons of fish. The only issue was finding it. Our taxi overshot it by a mile and 1/2. Had to find another taxi. There was absolutely know signs. Not going to blame that on the crew. Would definitely recommend.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you Karen for your 5-stars! We are so happy to hear the crew took good care of you and that your snorkeling trip was amazing. We hope to see you again soon.

Dylan and Captain Tommy were amazing! Fun, informative and knowledgeable!! Weather was beautiful and we both loved that Dylan was in the water with us - saw turtles, a barracuda, an eel and many colorful fish
Response from Host, Jan 2026

The crew is very professional in snorkeling. Water and snacks are provided on the ship, which you will probably need after snorkeling. One of my family members is the first time for snorkeling. Darren on the crew paid special attention to make sure my family member was safe and had a good time snorkeling. Ben on the crew is very helpful looking around to ensure no one is snorkeling outside the group and everyone is doing ok in snorkeling.
Response from Host, Jan 2026

Our family was looking for something different to do in St. Thomas with our two kids ages 14 and 16 and saw this adventure. We took a chance and purchased 4 tickets. It was wonderful.
Kyle and Steph were waiting for us at the dive center when we arrived. We typed the address shown into maps and got there easily. All snorkeling equipment was provided and very clean and well maintained.
We took the boat for a 25 minute ride to a good place to anchor. Kyle was knowledgeable about all sea creatures and surrounding land areas. We saw sea 2 turtles and so, so many fish from tiny blue and yellow fish to parrot fish to large tarpon. The fish were so many beautiful colors. We even saw a sea cucumber. We took a quick rest in the boat with a drink and snack (included) while traveling to a second spot to snorkel. We got back in the water to find more sea life. At the end of our adventure we felt like we had put in a full day. It was great.
This trip is safe for all experience levels. Everyone was given a pool noodle to help them stay afloat and to give a bit of rest when needed. Even our guide used one. This was the first time my 14 and 16 year old kids had been snorkeling and they never felt scared or unsafe.
Kyle and Steph were great. Patient, friendly, and experienced. The adults had rum punch (included) on the way back to the dive center which was a perfect way to end a great adventure.
Note: Before we left for our adventure, we all bought a rash-guard shirt at the dive center. They were perfect to wear while snorkeling so no one got sunburned!
We would 100% recommend this experience.

Thank you for choosing Aqua Marine Dive Center and we hope to see you guys again next time!

What a great day! Captain Dave knew exactly where to take us for calm waters on a windy day. Kyle shared a wealth of knowledge about the area and wildlife we spotted during our trip.

We had an amazing time snorkeling with McKenzie as our guide. She loves her job and it shows by her enthusiastic training and how she was so excited to point out all of the beautiful life underwater and to teach us things about the reef. She was great at keeping us together and safe. David, Kyle, and Zach worked with the scuba divers and we're very knowledgeable and fun even though we did not dive. They taught the divers so many things that my husband is excited to try diving in the future! We look forward to returning.
I made a mistake and didn't get transportation to the Marina. We called from the ship port and Viator immediately got us transportation. We were so thankful that we didn't have to miss our adventure!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
We are so glad to hear you both had an amazing time in the water! Thank you for your review, and see you guys next time for some more fun in the water! :)

Took my family of eight, little kids included, and the boat ride was nice and short to the first island where we saw several stingray, fishes of all kinds, A sea turtle and several coral reefs. After this snorkeling spot, we headed to another location where we got to see a sunken boat, several sea turtles, maybe 15-17, and a whole bunch of squid, along with several brightly colored fish. The second spot was my favorite. The boat had lots of snacks and drinks for us and it was a refreshing day as the boat had a cover over it. My only negative comment would be that the van that they picked us up in did not have enough seats so it was a little uncomfortable, but not enough to give it less stars.
Nicole_H, Apr 2024
It was all memorable great trip and would highly recommend. It was a small group and made it feel more personable . I brought my 11 year old who never snorkel before and now she loves it
Morgan_W, Mar 2024
We had a great time snorkeling with this crew! Steph pointed out all the unique fish in the water so we didn’t miss a thing! When I sadly got very motion sick, Hiney and James helped me with some tips to feel better. Shout out to this team!
Quinn_W, Feb 2024
David was awesome! He was very kind and patient with my wife. The whole crew was outstanding even with varying experience levels.
Rachel_R, Dec 2023
Had a great time snorkeling and diving with the team! Saw a sea turtle and a sting ray. Staff were very friendly and helpful with my dad who is older and was struggling a bit with the snorkeling.
suzanne_J, Dec 2023
My family and I had a wonderful time snorkeling. It was wonderful to have a small group and not a large group like the ship tours. Everyone was friendly responsive and made sure we had a safe, enjoyable time
Caitlin_H, Dec 2023
We had a lovely experience! Tommy, Andy, and the rest of the crew showed us a great time snorkeling! I highly recommend this adventure.
And Tommy's dinner recommendation, Tap & Still, was really enjoyable, too.
Tamarrah_P, Aug 2023
Spencer, Tommy David and Steph were amazing. The knowledgeable crew of the whereabouts and what we’ll see was spot on and the hospitality was more than worth it! Thank you all so much.. we will be returning 😊

We had an amazing time snorkeling with Nen. She was so friendly and patient with my family. She was very informative and made sure we got to see the sea turtle. We also spotted big stingray right in front of us. Also Garret accompanied mother who stayed behind in the boat.

Thank you for letting us know you had a great time! We'd love to take you diving next time you're on the island. Just give us a call!
Canaan_C, Apr 2023
My friends and I had a fantastic experience with the Aqua Marine team! The dive boat was spacious with plenty of room to sit or lay out and soak in the Caribbean sun. The scenery traversing the various islands along the outskirts of St. Thomas was beautiful. We had the opportunity to snorkel in two locations - one in the Caribbean sea and another just across the Atlantic Ocean. The locations were teaming with wildlife and coral which we had plenty of time to soak in. The highlights even included sea turtle sightings. Both locations were spectacular and we didn't feel rushed at all, spending plenty of time with our heads in the water. Our guides were careful to point out the sights and describe the wildlife as well. The boat offered snacks and refreshments when back on board to keep everyone satisfied. All in all, would recommend this experience to anyone traveling to St. Thomas.
Liliana_T, Mar 2023
Spencer was very informative. Highly recommend. Tommy was great also! We saw turtles and eagle rays.

Thank you for the review! We hope you come back and see us!
laurie_k, Jan 2023
This experience was one of the best experiences that I have been fortunate enough to share with my children!!! Spencer from Aqua Marina was the most polite young men I’ve ever met (aside from my son;) My daughter isn’t a hugely strong swimmer and gets fearful of the unknown, Spencer taught her what to do, comforted her, reassured her and complimented her enough to work up some bravery! He was great with all of the guests!!! The captain and her crew were so hospitable, I felt like part of the family. They were down-to-earth and so very kind!!! I would recommend them to anyone going on a snorkeling or scuba excursion!!!
Zola_F, Dec 2022
Amazing! The crew was fabulous, Spencer was the best and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thanks so much for the kind words. It appears Spencer has yet again convinced an unsuspecting snorkeler that he is, indeed, the best. We're so glad you had a great time with him and the crew!
Kristina_L, Jul 2022
Awesome trip with Nen, Jared, and Captain Steve! We saw turtles, sting rays, and tons of beautiful fish! The crew is amazing, informative, and fun to hang out with! We learned and saw so much!
michael_l, May 2022
Excellent snorkeling guides that were very friendly and knowledgeable. Very good back up location for snorkeling on a windy day.
Jamie_B, Mar 2022
David, Steve and Quinton were the best! Steve and Quinton took out time to show my son very cool things in the water he could touch. They assured us a turtle sighting and delivered!!
