About This Tour
An Unforgettable Underwater Journey Join us at Turtle Cove Beach, right by the iconic Frederiksted Pier, where the Caribbean’s magic comes alive. Wade into shallow, glassy waters (5-15 feet deep) and discover why St. Croix is a snorkeler’s paradise. Here’s what awaits: Majestic Sea Turtles: Swim alongside 5-10 Hawksbill and Green Sea Turtles, their intricate shells glowing as they munch seagrass or glide to the surface. It’s a serene, almost magical connection with these gentle giants. Vivid Coral Reefs: Marvel at brain, elkhorn, and fan corals bursting with pinks, purples, and oranges, forming underwater gardens teeming with life. Colorful Marine Life: Watch schools of blue tangs, parrotfish, and sergeant majors dart through the water, joined by stingrays, curious octopuses, barracuda, and even the occasional eagle ray. Under the pier, spot tarpon, juvenile fish, and hidden treasures like sea stars or conch.
