What travellers are saying
- Lourdes A1 contributionI love how they time presentations throughout the day so that there is opportunity to see all of them. The setting is so nice and very natural. You can the animals are well cared for. We loved our visit. We ended up doing the kayaking with dolphins and a professional photographer got some really nice pictures. My daughter got to feed birds and we learned a lot about the animals there. I had take away a point because we booked Seatrek weeks beforehand and they canceled on us 2 days before due to a staffing reason. They did offer to reschedule but they only had the following day and we were to fly out already. They didn’t offer alternatives either. Later I saw they had the kayaking with dolphins and swimming with a sea lion. Also when you book directly on the site, it asked for a tip already. I gave a tip and hopefully it will be given to presenters/hosts. But after our excursion the host was pointing to a pin board with cash and said they appreciate tips. Ok hopefully they know some folks tipped online already. Overall it was a wonderful place to visit.Written 25 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- binkergirlFairfax, VA17 contributionsMy son and I spent the afternoon here. The bar is super crowded. Do yourself a favor and walk down a ways away from everyone. It wasn’t crowded when we were there and we had a great time swimming and hanging out in the beach. Beautiful views and the sunset was amazing!Written 27 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- dru g5 contributionsBy far the best beach we have been too. The water is clear and you can swim with the Sea Turtles. We saw numerous fish, especially along the ledge to the right of the beach, and several Sea Turtles. If you go, you will need to take a taxi when you get off the boat and it cost $15 a person each way. You will need to make sure to tell the taxi what time you want to leave because they will be there or they will send someone else to pick you up at the time you request. It was well worth the price and trip.Written 25 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Scott PWinston Salem, NC6 contributionsSapphire beach was so much better then most any beach that I visited on St Thomas. It had a much more local vibe, fabulous snorkeling, live music, coffe shops, plenty of good places to eat, easy taxi service, and nice products in the shops. A definite favorite and great place to spend days exploring.Written 20 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- psudinoWeehawken, NJ4,184 contributionsThe water is crystal clear and there's a bunch of tiny fish swimming around that the kids really enjoyed seeing. The beach itself was quite crowded and there was definitely a touristy vibe, but the kids only wanted to be in the water and look at the fish so it turned out to be a very nice visit for us. I wouldn't spend all day here but if you have an hour between Coral World and going back to the cruise ship this is a very nice stop.Written 16 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HarlenWhitby, Canada2 contributionsWe did some research and found this gem of a beach which is much quieter, friendly atmosphere, dive shop and restaurant right on the beach and decent snorkeling.
We have been to Magen’s and Sapphire before and each was so-so. Very happy we found this location for a perfect day at the beach!Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We got the small daiquiri and felt it. The staff was friendly and we bought some souvenirs in an uncrowded environment. The gelato outside was yummy.

- Frank CWashington DC, DC32 contributionsFantastic beach, so clean and great services; bathroom, food, and they even have fine wine and champaign! They also cater to kids and take the stress away.

- Kiana LSmyrna, GA81 contributionsWe booked this experience through Norwegian cruise line. You can just walk up to it at any time which is great. The views are incredible! Definitely worth the ride up. However, there’s not that much to do once you get to the top. Only a restaurant and a few shops. Just something to keep in mind.Written 22 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Shana NHuntington, NY14 contributionsWhat a gem! There are not many purely nature-oriented activities on St. Thomas, but this Botanical Garden is such a treat for a short visit. The number of different plants is astounding, and the flowers are beautiful. It's an easy walk through the gardens with benches for sitting and admiring. There are also turtles, parrots, and chickens. The woman working the booth was so friendly and knowledgeable.Written 15 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
