Night Kayak / GLOW in St. Thomas at Westin Frenchman’s Reef: clear LED kayaks, glow paint, and close-up tarpons and stingrays.

“We got to the excursion late because of our cruise ship and they were accommodating for that, but because we were late, we didn’t get scuba gear or anything.

Shop Charlotte Amalie, ride past St. Thomas highlights, and end with beach time at Megan’s Bay, Coki, or Sapphire on one guided day.
