Shore Excursions St Thomas Offer Many Exciting Options For Every Age Group

By Tiffany Gill


Tourists will find shore excursions St Thomas offers to be fun and display beautiful scenery as well. You can kayak over the crystal clear water or snorkel beneath it. There are amazing tropical marine animals and fish to see. The may swim slowly by as you snorkel near the coral reef.

Nesting egrets, pelicans and blue herons fly above the southern coast. Plentiful fish with multicolored scales make their way past the coral reefs. The fish come in all sizes and all bright colors of the rainbow. You may see a large school swim by on your right and a single fish on the left.

Hiking tours are conducted on an island named Cas Cay. It is the location of a fifteen acre wildlife sanctuary that is part of a Park System. Many birds fill the sky, flying over the azure waters below. Volcanic cliffs rise from the beaches providing scenic views that are ideal for the amateur photographers.

If you would rather stay above the gentle waves you can take sailing or catamaran tours. If you want the panoramic view offered from a helicopter, you will find a tour to satisfy that wish. A helicopter tour takes you high above the scenery below.

Alternatively, you can tour on a jetski and combine it with a snorkeling adventure. View the beautiful shoreline and coves of St. Thomas. Stops are scheduled for swimming and snorkeling in the sparkling clear waters.

One of the most unique excursions is a ride in a private helicopter to one of the small desert islands. There you will be the only ones on the island. You can snorkel, swim or just lie on the warm sand. Honeymooners love this tour where they can be alone on a tropical desert island for a day. They will see no other people until the private helicopter arrives to transport them back at the close of day.

On one tour, you will come in contact with a species of prehistoric fish. They have been swimming in these waters for 125 million years. The tour is open to children over the age of six as well as adults. How exciting to try to catch one of these monsters of the sea. Sit on a beach at sundown and fish under the stars. What a unique adventure you will have.

You can join another unique excursion if you are physically fit. Four people and a guide will kayak to one of the small lagoons that are inaccessible by boat. You will be able to fish in that lagoon where fish are plentiful. This small group travels at night making it even more exciting.

Another exciting tour for the physically fit person is the Zipline Canopy Excursion. You will be taken to the side of a mountain and from there, zipline down through a thick jungle-like canopy. The view will be unlike any other you have seen.

Families with small children can take a sailing trip, or one on a larger boat. Along the way you will be able to stop for a swim and have time for the little ones to play in the sand. The shore excursions St Thomas offers are fashioned to please people of all different ages and preferences. Senior citizens and young adults alike will find one to provide fun and create wonderful vacation memories.
