This list compares the paddling trips I rate on St Thomas, most of them kayak, hike and snorkel combos. The main launch point is the Mangrove Lagoon on the southeast shore, a protected sanctuary where the water stays flat even when the trades are blowing. First-timers manage fine here; the crossings are short.
Step into the darkness and let your senses guide you as you embark on a Night Kayak Tour at the Westin Frenchmans Reef, where hidden wonders and mysterious creatures await.
