# 3 Hour Kayak and Snorkel Tour

**Guidekin's take:** Learn kayaking basics at Cruz Bay, then paddle to Scott Beach to snorkel and look for turtles and stingrays. A guide and snorkel equipment are included; bring water, and expect an outing requiring moderate fitness. 4.67 from 75 reviews at €126 per person for 3h.

In our comparison: #42 of 48 in Snorkeling Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

This unique kayak and snorkel trip takes place in the crystal-clear waters of the Virgin Islands National Park. Our professional guide will instruct you in the basics of kayaking on the beach in Cruz Bay. Next, we paddle to uncrowded Scott Beach, which is one of the prettiest white-sand beaches on the island. There, we will snorkel with sea turtles and stingrays! You'll learn about the endangered green turtles that feed on the seagrass and nest on the beach. In the summer and fall, the turtles lay their eggs in the sand on this beach and we often see their nests. After snorkeling here and enjoying the beach, we'll paddle back to Cruz Bay.

**Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point
