Overview

A stunning 15 minute boat ride to the Eastern tip of the island, only accessible by boat.

Our first stop is Conch Shell Island, then we head out to some of the liveliest reefs in the Virgin Islands. If the flamingos are out on the Eastern tip of the island, we stop and see them.

At Conch Shell Island, we'll snorkel with turtles and see plenty of schools of smaller fish — a thriving ecosystem full of marine life.

After snorkeling at Conch Shell Island, we go out to the reef for a drift snorkel, where you'll spot larger fish and vibrant coral.

We provide snorkel gear and a cooler with ice-cold water and beer.

The questions guests ask us most before their trip.

See all FAQs
Do I need snorkeling experience?

No experience is needed for the Conch Island tour — the water there is calm, shallow, and very forgiving. The Horseshoe Reef drift snorkel is best for confident swimmers.

What should I bring?

Sunscreen, swimwear, and a camera. We recommend reef-safe sunscreen to protect the coral. A towel is handy but not essential.

Where do we meet?

What if the weather isn't suitable?

Our captain makes the call on the day. If we have to call it off, we'll offer you a new date first. If none of the dates work for you, you won't be charged anything.
