Select participants and date
The day begins with a rumble of tires and salt on the breeze. A neatly maintained Jeep pulls up to your hotel on St. Thomas, a local guide hops in with a cooler of ice-cold water and a grin, and you head up the switchback road where the island unfurls beneath you—sugar-white beaches, ragged coral outcrops and the sea bright as polished coin.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Always use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming to protect coral and marine life.

Expect rocky shore entries and slippery boat decks—light water shoes make transitions easier.
Prepare for seasickness
If you get motion sick, take preventative medication before departure; trade winds can kick up afternoon swells.
Pack a small dry bag
Keep your phone, keys and camera safe during the sail and snorkeling stops.
