The day before my tour, I reached out to make sure the tour was still on as I hadn’t gotten any confirmation. They texted me late in the evening saying they would be picking me up 15 minutes early. The morning of the tour, the pickup time came and went. I reached out to them and they were like “Oh yeah, we forgot you. We didn’t have time to come get you”. What??? The tour guide told me to get a cab to meet them at a location downtown. The whole pickup experience was ridiculous. I was able to connect with the group downtown and the guide reimbursed me for the cab, but it was not a good start to my day and I missed an hour of the experience. The same had happened to other people as well. If you don’t have time to pick someone up, tell them earlier, don’t offer it was part of the tour, or leave enough time to pick everyone up. I do not recommend this tour.

Hibiscus at StarFish Tours helped us arrange a very lastminute half-day private tour with a local driver, Douglas. We appreciate all the assistance, recommendations, and follow-up she provided as we were able to visit the National Park Visitor Center, Trunk Bay, Maho Beach, and the Annaberg Plantation Windmill the day before leaving the island. Douglas was very informative, accommodating, and professional and we essentially customized and made for a hop on/hop off tour.

We really enjoyed Star Fish Tours. Our tour guide was born and raised on St John. She talked a lot about what it was like to grow up on the island and how locals used the flora for natural remedies, along with giving a thorough tour of the island. It was absolutely fascinating and I highly recommend to anyone. If it’s your first time, try to book one of the tours early in your trip. It will help to get your bearings.

Stormy Pirates was an awesome full day of fun in the sun, on the water, with some new found friends and a crew that were definitely on their "A" game. Capt Adam navigated to multiple beach/bars and first mate Amanda made sure our drinks were always full while on board. I highly recommend doing this trip early in your stay as you get to see a good variety of what the islands have to offer. Bring plenty of sunscreen, a water shirt and a few bucks for the bars. All else is taken care of for you, including a perfectly timed stop at the Pizza Boat. They even have snorkel gear to use while at Water Island or Coki Beach. Ask Adam where the turtles are. Thanks again A team. You guys rock.

Begin your 5-hour tour of fun and excitement with a visit to the rain forest, sightseeing at historical Columbus Landing Site at Salt River Point and wander around the largest town in St. Croix for an hour of shopping and sightseeing in Christiansted. Wander with your friends or family in this beautiful town filled with remarkable quality architecture, with cobblestone walkways shaded by large arched galleries. The once prestigious residences and mercantile shops of the wealthy Danes, today forms the shopping and restaurant district. The people are reserved and friendly and a smile would go a long way to starting the day off right.

We had high expectations from some of the reviews and most were met. The tour of St Johns was relatively quick giving us plenty of beach time - more than 3 hours with still plenty of time to get back to the ship. Trunk Bay is beautiful!!! The trip turned for the worse when we were picked up by Kenneth. He is a vial human being. Without going through all the details, they’re on other review sites, Kenneth made everyone on the Jeepney feel extremely uncomfortable and was unbelievably unprofessional. He was argumentative, condescending and plain rude. There was my husband and myself and a group of four. They were equally disturbed. Beware is you take this trip if you get Kenneth of Kenneths Taxi. My advice look for a different company offering the same trip. Probably the best way to avoid this man.
