Snorkel & Swim with Turtles. Semi Private Tour to Buck Island & Honeymoon Beach - How Captains Handle Rough Water

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 661 reviews · from $160Our pick

Snorkel with turtles, sip a Pain Killer at Honeymoon Beach, and cruise St. Thomas on a four-hour semi-private charter.

“This would have been great, but the water was a little rough and it made the snorkeling hard. My advice would be to try and check the weather or make sure the boat captain can find calmer water. We didn't see as much sea life as we have in the past but it was still a good trip. Our guide got some great videos of us in the water which we appreciated.”

Review of a private St. Thomas tour with island views, historic sights, Magen’s Bay, beaches, shopping, and flexible pickup.

“Everything was satisfactory. You cannot fully depend upon the driver to plan your trip - if you go late then you can be deprived of time at the lovely beach. Its one of the best beaches and you need to plan your time. Out cruiseship got delayed and by the time we finished looking at other items on the list it got late, and had very little time or rather none at the beach.”

Review of a private St. Thomas powerboat charter with custom stops, snorkeling, drinks, and space for up to 12 people.

“We rented a boat for half a day and had absolutely the best day of our trip. The Sees the Day charter company and most importantly, Captain Mike, was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and kind. When we boarded the speedboat, he asked us what we’d like to do, offering up a few options. We jointly customized the day (we opted for focusing on St John and its most rural beaches, asked to see turtles when snorkeling :))) and we hit all of them. We got a wonderful tour around St John, hit the best beaches, saw sea turtles, stingrays and abundance of all tropical fish, had the best…”
