St. Thomas is a very modern, sophisticated island but has a secluded island charm and tropical feel. There are abundant shopping opportunities and the US dollar is used as well as English is spoken. The island was purchased by the US from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million in gold (along with the islands of St. Croix and St. John). The island is located to the east of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea. Sunny days and beautiful beaches, as well as great marine life, make sightseeing excursions and water activities very popular. There are miles of beautiful beaches to explore such as on our St. Thomas Island Highlights and Beach Cruise Excursion .

Captain Kyle and Henry were fabulous! This activity made an incredible vacation fabulous! Kyle and Henry made everyone comfortable and make the trip fun. Kyle even gave us some history of the landmarks we saw. I would recommend Kyle and Henry and this boat ride as a must do!

This day was great and so was the boat and the captain. We had our family of 4 and we went out with Brian for a full day around St John. We had such a great time and he was the nicest person and so easy to talk to. He also knew alot about the island and its history. He also made the best rum punch. (best we had while on the island for a week) BEST DAY WE HAD ON VACAY. Highly recommend this company for your boat day needs and ask for Brian.

What a great time we had. Wedding went well, and the snorkeling at water island. They took us where we saw sea turtles and stingrays. The captain and Rachel we such great hosts, so attentive and just so nice. We all enjoyed our half day tour. Can’t say enough good things about them!

We spent half day celebrating our friends one-year Wedding Anniversary on Pisces catamaran! It was such an amazing time; Captain Connor and his first mate Chelsea were excellent! It was tranquil and quite relaxing; I will certainly use them again when ever my family and friends visit us in St. Thomas! I will also recommend Seas the Day Charters and Tours to my Airbnb guests!

What an incredible day!! Captan Bryan is amazing and probably the best captain we’ve ever had! He listened to basically what we wanted to do and then crafted the itinerary to perfection. We circumnavigated St. John and he took us to some of the most beautiful spots for snorkeling and just relaxing in the water. His superb timing got us to Lime Out for lunch at JUST the right time to secure us the best Lilly pad in the house! He was personal and informative and took the trip (which would have been great by itself) to the next level. Highly recommend!!

We had an absolutely fabulous day with Glenn! Truly, it could not have been better! Glenn is a very experienced sailor and very knowledgeable about the Caribbean. He is also a great guy and we all thoroughly enjoyed hanging with him for the day. We snorkeled at several great spots in the BVI, visited Willie T's and Soggy Dollar.

Whenever we visit St John "Boat Day" is always everyone's favorite day of the the vacation. This year was fabulous! We are a 3 generation family of 11 with six kids ages 9 and under. Captain Alex and First mate Aaron found out exactly what we like to do and they made it happen. The snorkeling was amazing, lunch from the pizza boat was delicious and fun and the time out on the water all day cannot be beat. Thank you Seas the Day and especially to Alex and Aaron. Our day really could not have been better!!!

An amazing experience to St. John! We went to snorkel at 2 different places that were both beautiful! Captain Greg and Coleman were amazing and so nice. They answered all of our many questions about the island and gave us the best information. They were so knowledgeable! We never felt rushed and we felt like they wanted to give us the best experience possible. The boat was so clean and the snorkeling gear was great. Very professional. This is the charter to book!

15 Best Tours in St. Thomas

1. best of mangrove lagoon: kayak, hike, & snorkel adventure with picnic lunch.

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  5 hours | ✅  Book it!

If you are active and relatively fit, then do yourself a favor and take this tour!

While on our honeymoon, I found this tour with Virgin Island Ecotours and this is one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done. It’s a must when planning a St. Thomas itinerary .

Just be prepared – you will be exhausted by the end of the day. They gave us the option to choose single or tandem kayaks and we chose to go with singles.

You start by paddling through mangroves and stingray alley – we didn’t see any here – and then you stop at a small beach where you get out and go see the blowhole by the cliffside. This is one of the coolest places to go kayaking in St. Thomas .

Next you paddle over to Cas Cay where you’ll take a hike and learn more about the local plants. Then it’s lunch time!

We had subs and the hermit crabs surrounded us in droves. For someone who doesn’t like creepy-crawly things, it was a bit nerve-wracking.

The snorkeling part is next. I have never seen so much diversity on a snorkeling tour than on this one. We were right next to the mangroves which is probably why.

We saw tons of fish, lobster, sea urchins, a barracuda, sea worm (I think?), and a stingray partially buried on the ocean floor. It was amazing!

The paddle back was the worst part because at that point I was pretty tired and it felt like we were going into the wind.

They take pictures throughout the tour to encourage you not to bring your phone and you have the opportunity to buy them at the end.

They show you a slideshow when you get back and it definitely makes you want to buy them! Like I said, I can’t recommend this one enough. It was one of the best snorkeling tours in St. Thomas we’ve ever taken.

This tour lasts 5 hours and you meet at the VI Ecotours outpost relatively close to Red Hook.

“Sherrie was an amazing tour guide. We did the 5 hour lunch tour. It was perfect. There were 4 people on our tour. Very Serene peaceful and definitely the highlight of our trip. They were very personable and friendly! Would do this tour time and time again!” -Lisa (Read more reviews)

2. Turtle Cove Catamaran Snorkel & Sail Adventure

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  3 hours | ✅  Book it!

While I haven’t taken the snorkel tour with The VI Cat, I have taken a sunset sail with them and it was one of my favorite things to do in St. Thomas .

The crew was very professional and we had a great time so I can only imagine that their snorkeling tour would be fantastic as well!

On this tour, you’ll head over to Buck Island National Wildlife Refuge from the marina at Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove. The whole tour will last about three hours and you’ll be on a 54-foot catamaran.

They provide snacks and drinks after this St. Thomas snorkeling tour on the way back to the island. You also get a fun pirate tattoo at the end!

“Amazing tour. Saw sea turtles and a barracuda. Got the best videos swimming along buck island up close and personal with the green sea turtles. Lovely crew and Captain Mike! Highlight of our trip.” -Carly (Read more reviews)

3. The Baths and White Bay (British Virgin Islands)

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  9 hours | ✅  Book it!

This is one of my all-time favorite St. Thomas tours!

Two companies that I have gone with are New Horizons & Breakaway Charters – though it looks like they are no longer running this tour – and Stormy Pirates . I would highly recommend either company.

You will have to bring your passport if you want to go on this excursion. It’s a super fun addition to your vacation!

The first stop on the trip is Baths National Park in Virgin Gorda. Here you’ll find beautiful views on a hike down to the beach with incredible rock formations surrounding you on your way down.

Once you make it to the beach there’s a little bar and you get to spend about half an hour here enjoying the view and wading in the ocean among the towering boulders.

A taxi will take you back to your boat and then you’ll head to White Bay on Jost Van Dyke. White Bay is known for the Soggy Dollar Bar which is named because your dollars may literally be soggy.

There are no docks at the bay so the boats anchor near the beach and you have to swim to land. Most captains will hand around a dry bag so you don’t have to jump in with your wallet in your pocket unless you want the full experience.

On the way back to Red Hook you do have to stop at Cruz Bay in St. John to go through Customs. It’s a very simple process.

This is one of the best St. Thomas boat tours that I’ve ever been on so if you can swing it, I highly recommend taking the tour.

“I went for my 30th birthday on a solo trip & it was one of the best excursions I’ve ever been on! Absolutely breathtaking views you don’t want to miss & the price honestly should have been more for all that we got to experience, our guides were top notch 10/10 recommend.” -Laura (Read more reviews)

4. St. Thomas Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour

⭐️  RATING:  4.5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  2.5 hours | ✅  Book it!

The Historic Downtown Tour gives you an interesting overview of the history of St. Thomas and Charlotte Amalie.

You also get to see some interesting sights off the beaten path like a mural in the post office and the Taphus – a brewery behind the Billabong store.

The main attraction for this St. Thomas food tour of course is the local cuisine you’ll try. Callaloo, conch fritters, and fungi are just a few dishes that we sampled. You’ll also get a good idea of some restaurants to come back to if you’d like.

Food tours are always fun to take toward the beginning of your trip so you can get your bearings plus have an idea of the great restaurants in town.

“Highly recommend! Jane was super knowledgeable and made sure we got the most out of our tour. For those looking for an immersive experience while on the island, look no further.” -Robert (Read more reviews)

5. Cocktail Sunset Cruise from Sapphire Beach Resort

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  2 hours | ✅  Book it!

Imagine yourself sitting in the glow of a beautiful St. Thomas sunset, sipping on a glass of champagne, and feeling the gentle ocean breeze against your skin.

On this two-hour cruise, you’ll enjoy an open bar, snacks, and the expertise of a professional guide.

But don’t worry about missing out on your dinner plans, the tour ends in time to have you back for dinner. Create a cherished memory of your trip by booking the Cocktail Sunset Cruise.

It leaves from the marina at Sapphire Beach Resort which is one of the best places to stay in St. Thomas.

“Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I had an amazing time for our last night of our honeymoon. Captain Dhani Boy was incredible and genuinely cared about everyone’s experience being top notch.” -Gina (Read more reviews)

6. US Virgin Islands Island Hop and Food Boat Tour

⭐️  RATING:  5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  8 hours | ✅  Book it!

During this eight-hour tour, you’ll enjoy four stops including Water Island, Christmas Cove, and Coki Points.

While sipping on cocktails, you can enjoy the fun experience of ordering pizza from Pizza Pi, the one and only floating pizza restaurant in the world. Another fun stop will be the floating taco bar.

“Great day exploring St John with captain Sammy and first mate Maeve. The food tour did provide some of the most unique foodie experiences starting with Lime Out floating bar and taco restaurant… We also got to snorkel at two locations not easily accessed by car making this day on the boat super special.” Kathleen-ReviewerName (Read more reviews)

7. Illuminated Night Kayak from Marriott Frenchman’s Cove

⭐️  RATING:  4.5/5 Stars | ⏳  TOUR LENGTH:  1.25 hours | ✅  Book it!

Experience the magic of kayaking under the stars with the Illuminated Knight Kayak Tour from Marriot Frenchman’s Cove.

You’ll head out on a kayak equipped with LED lights which illuminate the water underneath, revealing hidden wonders below.

With a personal floatation device for safety and a knowledgeable guide leading the way, you’ll paddle past sights of sea turtles and stingrays gracefully gliding through the water.

Against the backdrop of Charlotte Amalie Harbour’s historical lights, this will be an unforgettable experience. 

“Instructor was very nice while teaching about the sea life. Overall a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend! The city is beautiful at night.” -Kamre (Read more reviews)

8. Tree Limin’ Extreme Zipline

Highly recommend this activity…especially Andy & Gabby-they were awesome!” -Joseph (Read more reviews)

9. Parasail Experience in St Thomas

Feel the rush as you soar through the open air, taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding islands if the weather permits.

You’ll have 8 to 10 minutes to take in the views, but the tour lasts an hour to give everyone a turn to enjoy the adventure.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect and it was remarkable. Once you are up there, it is so peaceful. Worth it!” -Nurys (Read more reviews)

What to Bring on St. Thomas Tours

Most tours don’t include gratuity in their price, and you’ll want to show your appreciation for your guide. Tipping guidelines are generally 10-20% of the price of the tour. Cash is often best. 

If there are multiple guides, they usually share the tips so you can give it to the captain or the person in charge. 

It’s hot and sunny in the USVI, you’ll want plenty of sunscreen. By law, you’ll need reef-safe sunscreen. It will be less purchased at home. Get a good sized bottle and pack it in your suitcase. 

I also recommend an SPF of at least 50 and a formula designed to stay on in the water. You’ll be outside for long periods of time, and often in the ocean. The last thing you want is a bad sunburn on your trip. 

Waterproof Phone Case or Dry Bag

Getting on and off boats, plus just being near water means your personal items are at risk of becoming wet.

I’ve seen a bag fall into the water while being loaded on a boat. Spend a little money on a good dry bag to protect your items. 

A waterproof case for your phone can be a lifesaver. Phones have a habit of falling out of pockets at the worst moments. Plus, if you want to hang onto it while paddleboarding or kayaking, it needs to be protected.

Sunscreen for our body, hat for your head. A hat will keep the sun out of your eyes, protect the top of your head from sunburn, and keep your hair from getting tangled from wind. 

I like a hat with a wide brim that provides protection to the back of my neck too. 

Motion Sickness Medication

Even if you’re not prone to motion sickness in a car, boats are a different beast. Being sick on a boat can ruin your trip.

You can try ginger candy or sea bands for mild nausea, but you may need a patch or meclizine for more bothersome symptoms. Meclizine is sold under the brand name Bonine. 

Since some of the medications may cause drowsiness, read the label, and talk to your doctor before you leave on your vacation. 

Adventure Camera

St. Thomas is one of the prettiest places I’ve ever visited, and you’ll want plenty of photos to remember your adventures. A GoPro or other adventure camera is the best way to record your fun without risking your phone. 

Make sure to purchase one that is waterproof or comes with a waterproof case.

FAQs About St. Thomas Excursions

Do you need to book an excursion in st. thomas.

You don’t necessarily need to book a tour in St. Thomas. There is plenty of shopping near the harbor or you can walk through Charlotte Amalie. You can even take a taxi to one of the beaches if you would rather stay on the beach for the day.

However, if you want to snorkel, get out on a boat, learn more history of the USVI, or visit other islands, then a tour would be in your bets interest.

Where do cruise ships dock in St. Thomas?

There are two docks for cruise ships in St. Thomas – Havensight and Crown Bay. Havensight is where you’ll find most luxury shopping and there are also restaurants and other boutiques. Taxis are plentiful here. You can walk to downtown Charlotte Amalie but it’s a bit far.

Crown Bay is less developed and the walk is even longer into town so it’s recommended to take a taxi.

Is snorkeling good in St. Thomas?

Snorkeling is a great way to explore the Caribbean waters around St. Thomas. The islands are filled with vibrant marine life and coral reefs, perfect for snorkelers of all skill levels.

With crystal clear waters, you can usually spot fish, turtles, eels, and other aquatic creatures without getting too deep.

St Thomas Tours From Cruise Port

✅ st.thomas private tour with pickup, ✅ st thomas sea turtle snorkel kayak adventure tour, what to pack for st thomas tours.

When packing for a trip to the Caribbean, it's important to keep in mind that many items that are easily accessible at home may be much more expensive or difficult to find on the island.

These tours in St Thomas are just the beginning of planning your trip! To save yourself time and money, it's helpful to make a packing list in advance and be mindful of what you're bringing.

☀️ Reef Safe Sunscreen

Reef-safe sunscreen is a must-have item and is required by law in the US Virgin Islands, as the harmful chemicals in standard sunscreen can damage coral reefs.

I'd suggest getting a bottle to carry in your checked bag, as reef-safe sunscreen is expensive on the islands.

🤢 Sea Bands or Dramamine

If you're prone to seasickness, be sure to pack sea bands or another form of motion sickness relief. Dramamine Non-Drowsy with Natural Ginger is my go-to for plane and boat rides.

Although phones often have great built-in cameras these days, a GoPro can be really helpful for recording memories without having to worry about getting your phone wet.

🌊Floating Waterproof Phone Case

Finally, don't forget to pack a waterproof and sand-proof bag for all your belongings, as well as a waterproof and floating phone case - just in case you end up taking an unexpected dip in the ocean!

How to Get Around St Thomas

Getting around St Thomas is fairly easy, though I believe the most convenient way is to use a rental car. They don't have Uber in USVI , so your options are taxis, rental cars, or buses (which I wouldn't suggest, especially if it's your first time on the island).

Is it worth renting a car in St Thomas? Definitely.

Does St Thomas have excursions?

Yes! There are a number of St. Thomas excursions available to help you make the most of your trip.

Whether you're interested in exploring the island's food and culture, getting out on the water for some snorkeling or kayaking, or just learning more about the history and natural beauty of St Thomas, there's no doubt you'll find unique things to do during your vacation in St Thomas.

And with so many different options, you're sure to find the best St Thomas excursions that fit your budget and travel style, whether you're traveling with your best friend, partner, family, or on your own.

Is Snorkeling Good in St Thomas?

St Thomas is a perfect choice if you're looking for a great place to go snorkeling. The waters are clean and clear, making it easy to spot the vibrant reefs below.

The calm waves make it ideal for floating above the surface. And because the reefs are well-protected, they are healthy and full of colorful fish.

Plus, there's an abundance of seagrass around the island. This is great news for catching sea turtles, who love to munch on seagrass! So if you're lucky, you might spot a turtle or two while you're exploring the underwater world of St Thomas.

Is Snorkeling Better in St John or St Thomas?

The US Virgin Islands are a mecca for snorkeling, offering crystal clear waters and an abundance of marine life. The main difference between snorkeling in St John vs St Thomas is that St John is smaller, under the protection of the Virgin Islands National Park, and gets significantly fewer visitors than St Thomas.

In St Thomas, popular beaches such as Coki Point and Sapphire Beach are teeming with colorful fish, making it a perfect spot for beginners.

For those looking for a more secluded experience, St John is ideal. This island is covered by the Virgin Islands National Park and there are not as many accommodations or commercial areas around the smallest USVI territory, resulting in fewer crowds and more pristine beaches.

Experienced snorkelers will love exploring the numerous reefs that surround the island. No matter where you go in the US Virgin Islands, you're sure to have an unforgettable snorkeling experience.
