Beach Bum's Night Time Glass Bottom Kayak Questions

We are headed to STJ in a couple of days. If you have done St. John Beach Bum's night time glass bottom kayak tour, I have a couple of questions.

1) Where do you go on the tour?

2) What is the cost?

Re: be aware of your surroundings

Given the timeframe of these incidents, I assume it was dark or nearly dark. I know that being out and about after dark, especially outside of a highly populated area, has my "Spidey Senses" on high alert. This would be the case if I am in NY, Dallas, Myrtle Beach, STJ or in my home town. ...

Re: Once in a Lifetime snorkel - Manta Ray sighting.

That was really cool. We have seen several Eagle Rays and have had them circle under us for several minutes, but we have never a Manta like that. My wife thought she saw a Manta at Francis two years ago, but it was so far away and the water was so murky, she wasn't a 100% sure it wasn't a large Eagl...

Re: Charter stop suggestions

Michigan you are not missing anything by not doing Tektite in my opinion. It was just several 4 inch square pieces of concrete on the ocean floor. As far as something not already mentioned, last fall we drove to Kiddel and snorkeled around the point to Grootpan. This was a nice snorkel but a long sn...

Re: 9:00 AM Flight Home Questions

We will be traveling back on a Wednesday, the first week of November and we will be checking a bag. We normally travel to St John twice a year but we took a trip to St Croix earlier this year to check it out. We do want to spend some time exploring St Thomas at some point in the future, but since th...

9:00 AM Flight Home Questions

Our flight home was originally scheduled to leave at 8:00 am but now has been moved to 9:00 am. Is it possible to take the 6:00 am ferry out of Cruz Bay and make a 9:00 am flight? We were originally going to spend the night on STT, but if we can make our flight without leaving STJ a day early we wou...

Re: 8:00am Flight Home Need STT Advice

Thanks for the advice! Even though this is our 6th trip to STJ, we have spent something like 2 or 3 hours total on STT that wasn't at the airport, in Rachel's van or at the Red Hook ferry dock.

8:00am Flight Home Need STT Advice

For our trip in October, our return flight leaves STT at 8:00am. We plan to check out of our villa on STJ and spend our last day and night on STT. We have to check out of our villa by 10:00 am, so we are thinking of taking 11:15 ferry to Charlotte Amalie. Does anyone have a recommendation on where t...

Re: Travel Time

Rachel will normally take the "scenic" route at that time of day to avoid traffic. I would bet that, if your flight is on time and your luggage comes out in a reasonable amount of time, Rachel will be able to get you there for the 4:00 ferry. We are headed back down at the end of October. ...

Re: snorkle vest

We also have these same snorkel vests. We have used them when we were snorkeling some place new that we haven't snorkeled before. We also use them when we hike over to Blue Cobble Beach and snorkel back to Salt Pond or start snorkeling at Kiddel and snorkel over to Grootpan and hike back. They also ...

North Shore Deli Reopens

I saw on Facebook where DJ and the crew at North Shore Deli opened back up today, after the fire list Friday at Mongoose Junction. It sounds like the Tap Room and the beauty salon are the only things that are still out of commission.
