St. John, USVI Shore Excursion Reviews

Ted K. Wade

I had scheduled an afternoon snorkeling trip aboard the Leylon Sneed. The Sneed pulled up at the dock next to the Maasdam, so it was a short walk to board her. We set sail for a FOUR hour tour to St John, and one of the top 10 beaches in the world, Trunk Beach. The water started getting rough, but thanks to the efforts of the crew, we would NOT be lost. We had a delightful young lady from Alaska do some narration, and then handed it off to other crew member. This was a beautiful, though somewhat rough cruise, and many movie sites were pointed out along the way. We moored about 1/4 mile off of Trunk Beach, and were given 3 choices. Take a dinghy to the beach, jump off the back of the boat, or climb down a ladder with fins on. I took the third option, and was down the ladder before I knew it. The water was cool and beautiful, and about 20 ft deep. Lots of amazing fish, coral, and other strange features were in the water. I took some pictures, and swam around for over an hour. A very nice experience, though I did swallow my share of water thanks to the waves.

On the way back to St Thomas, the crew served complimentary rum punch, which was guaranteed to remove the saltwater taste, and it did. It also helped me deal with the rough water. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and we were back at the Maasdam at 4:29 (all aboard was 4:30).
