Rated 4.9 / 5 from 1,327 verified reviews.
We rented two paddle boards at Mongoose Junction on St John. The owner, Sybille, was very helpful in arranging this for us and gave us an excellent price. When we arrived to pick the boards up Anna helped us strap them on our Jeep. They were very flexible to allow us to even return them after office hours.

My husband and I did the St. John 3 hour kayak & snorkel tour with Brooke on 3/3. She was the BEST guide by far. Super knowledgeable and funny 😁 Brought us to the best spots and pointed out all the cool stuff for us to see. We saw a HUGE sea turtle and a sting ray along with tons of coral and tropical fish. Would totally recommend this tour for anyone looking for a great snorkel experience!
