About this tour
Come snorkeling with us aboard Reef Surfari, our new 47’ power catamaran, through the Virgin Islands National Park around St. John in the beautiful USVI. We depart from our retail store Ocean Surfari in Red Hook on St Thomas at 9:00 and head to Cruz Bay to pick up our St John guests from Cruz Bay beach in front of our retail store Ocean Surfari at 9:30. From there we head to two different snorkel spots to look for sea turtles, beautiful corals and a plethora of tropical fish, typically in the Virgin Islands National Park. Our snorkel spots vary daily depending on weather and sea conditions. We have an open bar with rum punch, painkillers, cold beers, sodas and water as well as light snacks for your refreshment. Alcohol is served once you are finished swimming. After snorkeling, we return to St. John to drop off our guests at 12:00 and then back to St Thomas at 12:30.
