“Made so many family memories!!”
...a hike through the jungle to a secluded beach... The beach was stunning! We also got to walk around some ruins. From there we headed to another beach where we were able to swim with sea turtles.

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?

What is Reef-Safe Sunscreen?In recent years scientists have discovered a link between sunscreen chemicals and coral death throughout the oceans and especially in busy tourists destinations like St. Thomas. The US Virgin Islands (like HI) has passed regulations stopping the use of these damaging sunscreens. There are still plenty of great options: 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.
