Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Find your way to Honeymoon Beach on Caneel Bay to meet your nature guide for a short orientation and safety briefing. Get fitted for equipment, including a kayak and paddle, snorkel gear and lifejacket before taking to the waters. The tour is tailored to the skill level and preferences of your group. 

Paddle your kayak around the turquoise waters of the Virgin Islands National Park, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the area's spectacular coral reef, home to a rich array of marine life.

Pull the kayaks up on a white sand beach and begin your hike under the shade of coconut palms and sea grape trees. Walk through Turtle Point's tropical forests and listen as your nature guide points out specimens of the 800+ species of plants along the way. Reach rocky outcrops that give spectacular views of the Durloe Cays and Hawksnest Bay. Look for local fauna like white-tailed deer, mongoose, and wild donkeys.

Don your snorkel gear and explore the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that is home to many species of coral, as well as sea turtles and stingrays. 

After your half-day of exploring this rich natural landscape, return to Honeymoon Beach.

This was such a great way to start our vacation! Our guide Canadian Brian was friendly and knowledgeable about all parts of this multi-part trip. I felt comfortable paddling across to different islands with him leading and he showed us some spectacular snorkeling spots. I couldn’t recommend this more.

This was a great tour! Definitely recommend it. Our tour guide was friendly and nice. The only issue was that we needed to get our own transportation back to the pick up location. We waited for a taxi for a while.
