St. John offers exceptional snorkeling opportunities that showcase the Caribbean’s rich marine life. The best guided experiences include a practical 2-hour sailing tour on a spacious 60′ vessel – perfect for first-timers who want a quick taste of the local waters.
For a more intimate experience, the 3-hour Cruz Bay cruise on the Tandemeer provides personalized attention and access to less-visited spots. The 6-hour private tour stands out as our favorite, combining comprehensive bay exploration with a tasty lunch break.
We especially love the 6-hour option for its unhurried pace and ability to reach multiple prime snorkeling locations. The 2-hour tour wins points for its efficiency and value.
