What To Expect
Set off on an unforgettable 7-hour boat excursion from Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and explore the best of the U.S. Virgin Islands by sea. Your journey begins in the historic harbor, offering stunning views of colonial architecture and cruise ships before cruising past Water Island and into the turquoise Caribbean waters.
Your first stop may be Buck Island, home to a protected marine sanctuary and the famous Turtle Cove. Snorkel among vibrant coral reefs and spot sea turtles and tropical fish in crystal-clear waters. Then head toward St. John, where you’ll explore the island’s pristine north shore. Stop at Honeymoon Beach or Maho Bay, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and spotting sea turtles grazing in the shallow waters.
Next, cruise to Honeymoon Beach on Water Island, a secluded stretch of white sand with calm, inviting waters and a laid-back beach bar atmosphere—ideal for relaxing or paddleboarding.
Finish the day at Brewers Bay, a scenic spot near the University of the Virgin Islands known for its peaceful vibe, excellent snorkeling, and chances to see sea turtles.

Frequently Asked Questions (13)
The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Top10Adventures® customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Top10Adventures® snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Top10Adventures® tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
Sep 2021If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
