Island adventures on the water and on land
These experiences are popular for a reason. A boat day gives you calm bays, snorkeling, and island views from the water. A jeep tour lets you explore scenic overlooks and hidden spots without driving yourself. If you only book one or two activities, start in this section.
Tip: Morning trips often give you calmer water and smoother sightseeing.
Pick what feels like a perfect island day for your group. You can always add more once you settle in.
FISHING
Fishing trips and charters
St Thomas has quick access to deep water, so you can chase mahi, tuna, wahoo, and more without long travel times. Crews handle the details so you can relax and focus on the catch.
Tip: Early departures can mean more active fish and better chances at a good catch.
Choose a half day or full day trip depending on your group. Half days leave room for a beach afternoon or a sunset dinner.
