Lots of turtles! - We had a wonderful time! Patrick was great! He was very friendly, informative, and attentive. It was a bit windy on the paddle out to the cove, but he made sure everyone felt comfortable. Once we were in the water, we saw lots of turtles and other sea life. It was a great experience! We enjoyed meeting Patrick, and feel like we have a friend on St. John now! It was so much fun, I'd go again in a minute!

Fantastic Kayaking and Snorkeling Experience - We had a wonderful time with Patrick on our tour. He did a great job of including everyone (this was a family excursion with parents and teenage kids) and providing excellent insight into where we went and what we saw. He also helped spot some turtles and a sting ray while snorkeling. He also took us out to the coral reef that was a real sight to see. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend this. It will be one of the highlights of your trip!

Outstanding trip - Our guide Patrick was incredible. He had a ton of interesting facts about the island and its history. He was a fantastic guide for the kayak, letting us know when to expect currents and such

Fun day with an excellent guide! - We had the most outstanding trip with Patrick! He was very accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. He helped us find so many different fish and turtles and sea life. We held a sea urchin, a starfish and saw numerous turtles. We also saw a moray eel and a "hunting party" which was amazing to see! The paddling was definitely a workout - this is not a leisurely float. But it was well worth it to get to the beach we went to and to do the snorkeling in the protected waters. One of our party members left her watch behind, and he came and found us where we were eating lunch (a place he had recommended which was amazing!), and brought it back to her. Above and beyond all of our expectations. Would absolutely come back and adventure with Patrick again!

Amazing tour and sights!! - My partner and I enjoyed a great trip out to a secluded beach with Pat. He was a great guide, enthusiastic about the history of the islands and very caring about setting us up well with equipment and seeing everything from a turtle to a special sea urchin to a crazy large ray.

10 out of 10 - outstanding experience - We had an amazing trip! Our guide, Patrick was phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable about marine life and snorkeled with us, pointing out turtles, an eel, octopus house, colorful fish, etc. It was wonderful. Our friend left an item behind and Patrick went to the trouble to find us at a restaurant to return it. So kind!!! Tip - bring suntan lotion, sunshirt and a hat.

Beatiful kayak and snorkeling excursion! - 1 1/2 mi kayak tour. Easy kayaking for 2 people who know how to work together. A lil better emphasis on 2 people paddling would have been nice. Beautiful scenery and plentiful assortment of sealife. Brook, our guide, was very cheerful and patient!!
