Explore the Mangrove Lagoon in St. Thomas on a self-guided kayak tour that allows you to paddle at your own pace and set your own start time. Upon arrival at Virgin Islands Ecotours, guests receive a safety briefing and a map of the lagoon, and are outfitted with a single or two-person kayak, life jackets, and snorkel gear including mask and snorkel. Life jackets are required for safety while paddling and snorkeling, and fins are not permitted to protect the sanctuary. This tour offers the freedom to explore narrow waterways, secluded cays, a rare geological blowhole, and a variety of wildlife in a protected and scenic environment. Paddling tips and directions to suggested sites are available upon request, or guests can explore the area independently.
The self-guided tour covers approximately one square mile, with all recommended points reachable within twenty minutes of paddling through safe and protected waters. Guests can enjoy meandering mangrove forests, shallow clear waters, and the opportunity to snorkel in this beautiful marine sanctuary. The tour allows for flexibility, so participants can pack a picnic or drinks from the home base snack bar and make the most of the day on the water. It is ideal for individuals, couples, or small groups looking to connect with nature and experience the calm beauty of the mangrove lagoon. Guests are encouraged to bring sun protection such as hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen, swim clothing, shoes that can get wet, and any necessary medications. The tour concludes by 4:30 PM, providing ample time to enjoy a full day of kayaking and snorkeling in one of St. Thomas’ most serene and picturesque locations.

Dan
Had the pleasure of doing the excursion with Alonso. He was very informative and an excellent guide. We started off kayaking, made our way to Cas Cay, hiked the island, and then went snorkeling where we saw a wide variety of fish. Learned a lot about the plants, wildlife, and the area. Highly recommend Virgin Islands Eco Tours.
Chantel
My husband and I had the best time at our tour! Our main guide, Alonso, was very knowledgeable and had such a great energy about him. He made the tour so much fun. Jezi and the guy taking the photos were also very sweet!! I would highly recommend taking this tour. A great value for everything we did in 4 hours.
Ian
Great experience. We booked the self-guided paddle board and kayaks which is very reasonably priced. You have free reign to go where you'd like and explore some of the islands along the way. Definitely pack sunscreen and shoes although the base camp store has all those items if you do forget.
Maria
Amazing tours, super knowledgeable staff, and the best time. We did the Cas Cay kayak tour with 2 kids under 5 and it was incredible. Kairell was incredible. He knew the island, about the wild life, and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. The mangroves are fascinating and there is so much peace around them. We loved every second of our tour and will be back for more.
Michelle
What a wonderful kayak and snorkel tour!!! I travelled with my 2 teenage girls and we all loved it.. A great tour in the fact of doing a variety of activities, kayaking, short hike on land and tidal pools and snorkeling...kept everyone interested and engaged for the whole trip! We loved our guide...and learning all the fascinating facts about Mangroves and sea life and interesting history of the area. We feel inspired and educated! Thank you so much!!
