The Kayak and Snorkel Adventure to Henley Cay by our guide Sydney of VIECOTOUR was fabulous. She gauged our skill level and confidence quickly to make sure everything was perfect and comfortable for us. Sydney's pace was sufficient to get us to all the highlights of Henley Cay and Scott Bay while still adding to the trip with education about the fish and corral we were seeing. We saw so much and still were allowed to spend extra time on the Eagle Ray, many turtles and unusual fish and coral we encountered. All in all we spent just over an hour at each location after an easy Kayak to Henley Cay and back to Scott's Bay. Be sure to ask for Sydney, she is so sweet, knowledgeable and made the trip so much fun! We highly recommend this tour. Martha and Todd from Dallas TX

A short swim from Leinster Bay, you'll find some of the best snorkeling on this small island, with its plethora of marine life.

This is our favorite place to snorkel on St. John's. Wear sneakers and walk on a gentle hike for about a mile, from the Sugar Mill parking lot and then enjoy the beautiful view. Swim around the tiny island just offshore. The live coral is beautiful and there are lots of fish, sea turtles, birds and starfish to observe. Be sure to use plenty of sunscreen so you do not get sunburned. If you plan to picnic after your swim, be sure to either hang your bag in a nearby tree, carry it in a thick plastic cooler or leave your food in your car. The mongoose steal food from backpacks and plastic bags when no one is around.
