What to expect

Begin your adventure on a beautiful, wide beach—the most protected bay in the Virgin Islands, where calm, clear waters gently meet the shore. This peaceful setting is a favorite hangout for green sea turtles, who graze on the shallow sea grass beds. From the soft sand, you’ll gently walk into the water—no boats, no deep water, no jumping in. With easy beach access and shallow, sheltered waters, this tour is perfect for beginners and first-time snorkelers. Our experienced guides will be with you every step—helping with gear, teaching you how to snorkel, and pointing out amazing sea life. Floating comfortably in your life vest, you’ll explore a thriving underwater habitat where sea turtles swim nearby. You may also spot stingrays, pufferfish, squid, colorful reef fish, and even an octopus as you drift from one area to the next. This is a relaxed, unhurried experience—ideal for nature lovers and anyone seeking a peaceful connection with the sea. Whether it’s your first time snorkeling or your favorite way to explore, this unforgettable encounter brings you close to the magic of sea turtles—peacefully and naturally.
