Highlight of our trip - This was the highlight of our whole trip. Our tour guide was Swish - he was the perfect guide for our family of 6 (2 adults, kids 12/10/7/7). First we all got to put on glow bracelets, fluorescent face Ali T, and head lamps. Then we went out in the kayaks which were very comfortable and easy to paddle. The mangrove lagoon is incredibly beautiful and serene at night and we started as the sun set over the water. There were fun photo ops but not too many - just the perfect amount. We saw jellyfish, a sting ray, fish, shrimp, a number of other animals before we even got to the reef where we saw a brittle star, sea slugs, sea urchins, and more. I can’t believe we were the only people on the tour this night. None of us can stop talking about what a great experience this was. Thanks for an amazing time, Swish and Ecotours!

A unique experience beyond the beaches - An experience like no other! Our guide was passionate and entertaining in sharing his knowledge regarding history, plant and wildlife information, and conservation information for the ecosystem. We also felt very safe both with the equipment and our guide's skills, which says allot since we were kayaking in total darkness 2/3 of the tour. Seeing a side of Saint Thomas I wasn't aware existed, hearing waves crashing on a nearby Reef, visiting an uninhabited island to see local wildlife and learn about the fauna that preserve, as well as having defenses...and historical information about both and how they impacted early visitors to the islands was very entertaining and educational....I highly recommend this tour!!

A great adventure! - Wow! What a great adventure! The guides had so much knowledge, excitement and passion for what they do. They taught us a lot about the mangroves, the eco-environment, the history... they showed us various creatures from the tide pools.

Unique experience in the ocean under the stars - Our night kayaking adventure in St. Thomas was an absolute blast! From start to finish, it was both informative and fun, thanks to our amazing tour guides, Denny and Derek. You could really tell that Derek loves his job—his enthusiasm was contagious, and he shared fascinating history about the chain house we paddled by, which added so much depth to the experience.
Paddling under the stars was magical, and we were lucky enough to spot some awesome fish along the way. The guides made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, while also keeping the energy high and engaging.
If you're looking for a unique way to explore St. Thomas, we highly recommend this night kayaking tour. It's an unforgettable experience that combines adventure, education, and a whole lot of fun! 🌌🛶🐠

Great Way to Spend the Night! - Great guide (Akeem) knew so much and made it a superb evening! Smooth as silk kayaking… peaceful and easy paced. We’ve lived here for several years and finally made it to eco tours. Adding it to our “adventure trips” list for when guests come to stay!
PS… Glow in the dark face painting was a plus!!

Best Price, Best Tour, and Best Guides! A Must Do! - My husband picked this night kayak tour while on our honeymoon. Neither one of us had ever gone kayaking before. We certainly struggled to learn how to work together paddling the kayak, but other than that, it was an amazing activity. The guides were super friendly and so informative. We picked this group because they had the best price. But what we didn't know is they have the best guides! The guide "slim" found us a jellyfish to hold. We explored the coral shores and even got to hear pirate stories. They made the experience one of the best things we did while in St. Thomas. It's worth every penny!! Make sure and give these guys a good Tip, they deserve it!
