Self-Guided Paddleboard And Kayak Tours Through The Tranquil Mangroves Of St. Thomas Island

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of St. Thomas with a self-guided stand-up paddleboard or kayak tour through the serene Mangrove Lagoon. Upon arrival at the Virgin Islands Ecotours base, you will receive a thorough safety briefing and a detailed map to help you navigate the area. We provide all the essential equipment, including your choice of a paddleboard or kayak, life jackets for safety, and snorkel gear, ensuring you are fully prepared for your aquatic adventure.

This self-guided experience is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to choose between four or eight-hour rental options to suit your schedule. You are free to set your own start time and pace, making this an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced paddlers. As you explore the narrow waterways and secluded cays, you will have the opportunity to observe a wide variety of local wildlife in the calm, protected waters of this beautiful marine sanctuary.

While you are encouraged to explore independently, our staff is always available to provide paddling tips and directions to the most scenic spots in the lagoon. Please remember that life jackets must be worn at all times for your safety, and fins are not permitted to protect the delicate environment of the sanctuary. Whether you are interested in a quick paddle or a full day of discovery, the lagoon offers a peaceful escape from the busier parts of the island.

To enhance your experience, feel free to bring a picnic or purchase refreshments from the home base snack bar to enjoy during your outing. The main paddling area covers approximately one square mile, providing plenty of space to roam and enjoy the quiet atmosphere. This tour is a fantastic way to connect with nature and enjoy the freedom of exploring the unique mangrove ecosystem of St. Thomas at your own pace and according to your preferences.
