oneplustwins Posted March 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So I was very saddened to get an email from the Captain of the Fury excursion last night letting me know that his ship is closed the day I will be in St. Thomas this October. So can anyone recommend any other options for snorkeling with turtles in St. Thomas?! We are sailing on the NCL Escape and docking in Havensite if that helps. I found "The Cat" which has same pricing as Fury and also goes to Buck Island - looks like we'd need to catch a taxi to where that boat docks, but I'm ok with that. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Rare crewsweeper Posted March 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Shoreexcursioner maybe? Or is this the Fury one? http://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/tour/st-thomas-snorkeling-with-turtles/CASTFRTURTLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneplustwins Posted March 10, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Or is this the Fury one? I believe that's the Fury because it's Captain Mike's ship and leaves from the same dock the Fury leaves from. Thank you for trying though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this the Fury one? http://www.shoreexcursionsgroup.com/tour/st-thomas-snorkeling-with-turtles/CASTFRTURTLE We booked directly with FURY for $85 (Credit Card) or $75 (Cash). It's incredible how much these "middleman" companies increases their tour prices! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny2runner Posted March 11, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2017 We did the Champagne Cat through our Ships excursion desk and it was pretty pricey but we LOVED it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweezie Posted March 14, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2017 wow, really like the excursion for snorkeling with the sea turtles. Great price. Question for someone, or anyone. Our ship docks at 8:00 am in April. They state they will pick you up at the dock there for 8:30 AM. Do you think we have time to get off the ship and get to pick up site? Or should we do the afternoon snorkel? thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Havensight, Captain Mike assures me that we can walk to the Fat Turtle Restaurant (the meeting place) in time. We're doing the morning sail with Fury in just over two weeks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweezie Posted March 14, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yes, we dock at Havensite. I thought they pick you up? Either way, are you scheduled for an 8:30 tour also? I did just send a text to the phone number listed and he did say that we would have time. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promised to get us there as soon as we can, and Mike says they'll wait for us (it's "island time" - his words :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We left the ship right away and 5-10 minutes later we were at the pre-arranged meeting place. We loved our morning sailing and snorkelling trip. Enjoy!
