Small Group Tours Rock!!! - Our tour with Maddy was awesome! She took time to explain the vegetation that we were walking past, how snorkeling works and of course all the facts about the sea turtles we were seeing. Bonus part of the tour was having her point out the tropical fish, different types of coral, and the feather duster. Great way to start our St. Thomas vacation.

Sea Turtles Small Group Snorkel the Best! - We absolutely loved our snorkel trip to swim with sea turtles! Our guide, Maddy, did an incredible job. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly where to see turtles and other sea life. Her photo package is a must! Best excursion ever!

Awesome Experience - This was such a great experience! Maddy and Sven were our guides (9 of us, all family). We saw so many cool things, and the guides were constantly explaining what we were seeing. They also took pictures the whole time of us and the things we saw, so we didn't have to try to mess with taking pics. The photo package was worth every penny! It included pictures/videos of us and all the things we saw.
It was perfect to be in such an intimate group instead of a large group. I'm sure we saw a lot more than if we had been surrounded by a lot of people. Communication and transportation were great as well.

Incredible, must do this!! - I can not say enough great things about this tour! We loved that it was a small group outing. Sven and Maddy picked our 9 family members up and we rode in 2 jeeps to a beautiful, quiet beach. Sven and Maddy shared such interesting information on the aquatic life, reef, turtles and more that we saw. They love what they do and it really shows in the care that they take, while providing a wonderful experience! We agreed that this was our favorite tour during our entire trip.
Recommendations: buy the photo package, they took great pictures and it frees you up to just enjoy the experience in the moment (also it turned out our cameras wouldn't really work underwater). If you don't have a busy day, I would also suggest arranging transportation to pick you up later so that you could hang out at this gorgeous, peaceful beach for a while after the tour ends. It is off the beaten path, so transportation was not readily available.

Wonderful time with a small group - We had a wonderful experience! The guide was kind and patient with my children as they tried to figure out snorkeling. He also taught us so much about everything. The beach was beautiful and not too crowded. Beautiful island and we loved seeing the turtles!

Personalized service and great snorkeling for turtles and rays. - This was the perfect tour for a small group of snorklers with varied expreience in the water. Snorkeling from the beach in the shallower clear waters allowed all of us to feel confident Sven from St Thomas Adventure Tours was a great guide and adjusted the snorkeling to fit each person. Three of us stayed in the water with Sven for over an hour. We saw so many turtles and rays. Much of the area is sand and sea grass - the perfect environment for the turtles, stingrays and flounder. Another part of the bay had a small coral reef where we saw many types of fish along with an octopus and some squid. Even our least experienced snorkeler was able to enjoy herself and see a lot of marine life. Then she opted to enjoy the shady quiet beach in the chairs Sven brought with him. Emerald Resort meeting place was a short cab ride from the cruise port - about 7 minutes. There are a lot of taxis avaialbe going to and from the resort. We loved the personalized attention and the eco inspired walk and swim. Five stars! Would definitely do this again! Also a nice idea for those who might get a little queasy on the catamarans.
