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.
