Snorkel Snapshot

Experience another world - the coral reefs!

The reefs are teeming with a variety of tropical fish, corals, creatures and together make up the largest ecosystem on the planet earth.  Visit the reefs and see the variety of vivid colors and the interaction between the many unique living organisms that create this delicate complex system.

Here in St. John, we have a shallow reef system which offers incredible snorkeling.  The beauty of a shallow reef system is that you do not need to SCUBA dive to explore the best of the reefs.  St. John is surrounded by many uninhabited cays with  pristine reefs full of life and are easily accessible by boat.  

The warm tropical waters are so refreshing with temperatures ranging from 75 - 82 throughout the year.  On an average day the visibility is 60 feet plus.  The protected bays and reefs are friendly and inviting with calm waters.
