Snorkeling with Sea Turtles

• This Sea Sports St Croix snorkeling tour walks guests straight into the water near the Frederiksted pier to see sea turtles, stingrays, barracuda, and reef fish without a boat ride.
• Guides Brandon, Joe, and Jojo/Joe Joe were named in the large majority of reviews and praised as knowledgeable, patient with beginners, and quick to help when a guest needed assistance in the water, including one case of a medical issue mid-tour.
• Reviewers consistently called turtle sightings a highlight, along with rays, barracuda (nicknamed Mike by guides), starfish, and occasional octopus or shark sightings.
• Several 1-star reviews described no guide showing up at the agreed meeting point, including one family that waited 45 minutes before leaving, and another reviewer who said the experience did not match what was advertised.
• One 1-star review raised serious concerns about how staff treated some guests in their group and about the animal welfare of the turtles, which stood in sharp contrast to the overwhelmingly positive reports from other reviewers about how carefully guides handled the marine life.
• Reviewers recommended confirming the exact meeting point in advance, since it is described as being by the pier rather than on the pier itself, and noted a life jacket is required.
