Exciting and unique experience with lots of laughs

Paul was a great guide. He made sure we all saw critters and was full of endless sea-themed jokes. The tour was on time and well-organized. We saw turtles, rays, etc. And the tour ended with a reminder to appreciate the vanishing coral reefs before they are gone.

Fun and one of a kind!

Great little one of a kind experience. Guys we’re friendly, silly, and knowledgeable about the ocean and it’s friends. We saw several turtles. If you’re looking for picture perfect clarity through the kayak bottoms you won’t find that. But the experience in itself pretty darn cool!

We were late for original date which caused us to rebook for additional fee. Overall experience was good. Wish we had seen more variety of marine life.

Our tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable about the turtles and the habitat surrounding us. We saw several turtles at night and the kayak was a glass bottom! Super cool experience and good on time too.

Cute Date Night

Ben was a great guide and we loved meeting “Kevin” (type of snapper fish) and “Pickle” (young sea turtle) - we were ready for the jumping fish! But a cute date night for hubby and I while on vacay without the kids.

Good experience but not fantastic

Enjoyed the peaceful tour. It was fun. Not for everyone. Saw some turtles. Very low key. Very safe. Seems a little expensive for the experience.

I was definitely not impressed with this experience. It was $65 a person and was one hour exactly of paddling around Marriott's cove. The bottom of the boat was frosted plastic so you couldn't see much of anything..

Response from Host , Nov 2021

Thank you for joining us, Shannon. Kayak After Dark is a 1 hour kayak in Frenchman's Cove where there are beautiful views of St. Thomas' Charlotte Amalie harbor lit at night and of course the sea life that often swim right below your seat! If you are to join us again, please bring your kayak concerns to your guides and they will be sure to remedy the situation.

Overall decent tour.

Aaron_M

Important to set your expectations for tour. It’s a easy night time kayak that stays right in the cove at the Marriott. The kayaks are lighted and have transparent bottoms so you can see and attract fish. Unfortunately there wasn’t much to see other than a fish and a few turtles that stay in the cove. But if you enjoy a leisurely night time kayak and want to see sea turtles, then this will meet your expectations.

Response from Host , Nov 2021

Thank you for the review, Aaron. It's great to hear that you got to see sea turtles and tropical fish while kayaking! This excursion also features and highlights the view of Charlotte Amalie's harbor at night. The well lit mountain side is a beautiful sight that we hope you enjoyed! It really is an enjoyable and leisurely tour as you mentioned. Take care.
