About
Join us for a morning snorkel and pizza lunch around Little and Great St James in the St Thomas East End Reserves marine sanctuary. We leave from the dock behind our retail store Ocean Surfari at 9:30am and head to St John to pick up guests on the beach in Cruz Bay in front of our retail store Ocean Surfari at 10:00. From there we cruise over to a snorkel spot to see beautiful coral reefs and tropical fish at Little St James. Next, we head to Christmas Cove at Great St James for another fantastic snorkel while we wait for our fresh pizza lunch to be delivered via dinghy from Pizza PI, the sailboat famous for their pizza kitchen. Sodas, water, beer, rum punch and painkillers are available with the open bar (alcohol is served AFTER snorkeling is done). After an early lunch, we cruise back to St John to drop our guests off at 12:30 and then head back to St Thomas at 1:00. Pizza, snacks, drinks and snorkel gear are all included in the $75 for adults and $45 for children 12 and under. New mouth pieces are available for purchase.
If you are on a cruise ship, please select the option to include round trip taxi transportation to and from your cruise ship dock.
Snorkel gear is provided and is cleaned and sanitized after every use. New mouth pieces are available for purchase in our retail stores. Smoking is not allowed on any Reef Surfari trips.
Just like the servers and bartenders at restaurants, our boat crew is in the service industry and work hard to earn your gratuities. A 20% service charge will be added to any groups of 8 or larger on Reef Surfari trips.
If paying a deposit only when booking, the remaining balance will be charged to the same credit card 24 hours before the trip.
If you have a child under 2 in your party, you must call us direct and book over the phone.
Please arrive 30 minutes to 1 hour early for checkin. The boat will not wait and refunds will not be issued for late arrivals.
