MULTI-BEACH TOUR
A FAN FAV! Your private eco-guide will help you spot amazing wildlife, from octopus to turtles and more on this snorkel & explore adventure by jeep!
Its your adventure! What do you want to do?
At St. Thomas Scuba and Snorkel Adventures we provide a variety of affordable personalized eco-tours both above and below the beautiful waters of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean! We specialize in customizable private tours of St. Thomas, St. John and the British Virgin Islands. Your private Eco-Guide will be both in and out of the water during your tour, teaching you about the marine ecosystem and Virgin Islands wildlife. Spot iguanas, mongoose or wild parrots as well as an enormous variety of fish, coral, crustaceans and even bigger marine life such as sea turtles and if we're lucky, even dolphins!
Your eco-guide will pick you up for your private excursion at your cruise ship, resort or AirB&B and whisk you away for your day in the Virgin Islands. We pride ourselves on getting you away from the crowds and showing you more of a locals perspective. The day is planned to suit your level of comfort and experience, and regardless of which adventure you choose. There is NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY and you will get personalized attention from your private guide who will be with you every step of the way. So, what adventure will you choose? Go snorkeling through caves in secret and secluded reefs? How about scuba diving in some of the best-kept secrets in St. Thomas? Let us take you hiking on hidden trails to explore 18th century jungle ruins or how about a relaxing kayaking excursion for a 360 degree view of beautiful Caribbean Sea? We can go boating to get away from it all and find yourself on your own private, white sandy beach or more adventurous, how about a night snorkeling or night diving to see biolumessent and nocturnal creatures? Regardless of which tour you select, we make sure that you get the peaceful, personal and safe island experience you were hoping for and we are confident that you'll leave us feeling like you've spent the day with long lost friends.

How do I book with St. Thomas Adventures?
What is Reef-Safe Sunscreen?
-
Sunscreens must NOT contain the following: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and octinoxate. -
Only NON-NANO zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are safe for the reefs and your body. Remember it only takes a quarter size amount of these sunscreens for you whole body, so they will last a long time! They also stay put much better than the dangerous chemical sunscreens. -
We LOVE Stream2Sea products! They even have a tinted line that won't leave you white. -
Bring a rash guard. You will see this is what our guides use, some of our guides even wear leggings and you can also wear a large brimmed hat. -
We will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have, as we have tried over 30 reef safe products on ourselves and can give you recommendations but below are some of our favs. 
What is your cancellation policy?
You may cancel your adventure and receive a full refund 72 hours before the actual date of your tour. Because we block out the entire day just for you,if you cancel with less than 72 hours notice or fail to show up for your tour, the full cost will be charged to the credit card used to reserve your tour. The exception is of course, if your ship does not port or is late in which your tour is 100% refundable. If you have extenuating circumstances please contact us regarding a refund.
What if we have people in our party that don't know how to swim or snorkel?
No worries! Please let us know before your tour of any special assistance required. We will always give snorkel lessons to any new snorkeler and if you can’t swim we will bring life vests to aid in swimming. Our highly trained guides are all certified first responders, rescue divers or instructors and we take safety very seriously at St. Thomas Scuba and Snorkel.
