5 Days In Paradise With The family! - My Family and I had the best time…this was an absolutely amazing tour. From touring some part of the island of St. John to a few hours at Truck bay beach ( The most incredible beach I have ever seen). All the people who manage the hour was great. Big thank you to Kenny for being a great guide and keep everyone on schedule and safe at St. John. The best tour of our vacation!

Fun in the Sun - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We had Kenneth and he was amazing. He stopped at beautiful photo op places and even gave history on surrounding islands. This is definitely a must not miss. So many different beaches that are beautiful. We went by one that had sea turtles and Trunk Bay with some tropical fish in it. You will enjoy it. Promise!!!!!!!

St. John’s is lovely - The view on the drive through St. John’s was spectacular. The history of Annaberg most interesting and the highlight was a few hours spent relaxing at Trunk Bay with the noodles we brought along. Snorkeling was exciting as we saw fish and a stingray!

Beautiful Scenery & Excellent History - Kenneth is such a knowledgeable and resourceful tour guide! We learned so much of the history of St. John while driving around while enjoying the breathtaking views of the island. Got to take a swim at Trunk Bay. Beach is beautiful! Kenneth made this trip really enjoyable. I would definitely request Kenneth as a tour guide again! Thanks Kenneth for a beautiful day!

It was alright - The Taxi driver and the tour guide were good, we drove every inch of St John’s but don’t stop at one beach, we drove by quickly as Kenneth pointed them out. Also be aware that your tour doesn’t include the ferry over to and back from St John so book your ticket ahead of time and skip the line.

NOT the tour advertised - The scenery was beautiful, and Kenneth (our guide) was friendly and informative, but….
This was absolutely NOT the tour advertised.
We were the first passengers to be picked up and second-to-last to be dropped off. The total experience for us, pick-up to drop-off, was under three hours. Not five hours as advertised.
We did not have two hours at Trunk Bay Beach as advertised. In fact, we did not even go to Trunk Bay Beach, but rather stopped for a short scenic overlook only.
We did not stop at the Virgin Islands National Park Center as advertised, and did not have an opportunity to purchase souvenirs as advertised.
Our total cost for two people (not including tip) was $244.18, not $83.12 per person as advertised. Looking more carefully, I conclude that we were charged nearly $80 extra to be picked up at Gallows Point, rather than in the center of Cruz Bay (three blocks away).

Feeling cheated - The time with Kenneth was great but we feel cheated that we missed 2 hours of our beach time. He had two different tours scheduled at the same time. We had paid for the 5 hour tour and the other couple a lesser tour with no beach time. Kenneth told us to work it out because if we did t go back on the same ferry, one of us would have to pay for transportation back to the ship( we had arrived at the ferry with tbe same driver) We really had no choice but to compromise with 1 hour on tbe beach rather than the 3 we had paid for and this benefitted the other couple who had paid for no beach time. Poor planning on someone’s part.
