    We had the best morning at Buck Island with the Big Beard's Adventure Tours crew. Mike, Chuck, Leah, and Charlie were the best crew to take us on this adventure. They kept the tour fun and we also learned a lot about the water life, island, and how Buck Island became a National Monument. The cruise out there was so beautiful with clear gorgeous blue waters. We saw many fish and wildlife, with one of the highlights being two Barracudas! The reef was beautiful and full of schools of fish. On the ride back we enjoyed delicious vodka punch and soaked in the views. I would absolutely recommend this tour with this team!

    We took the full day buck island snorkeling tour. Captain Mike did an excellent job sailing in high winds. Our crew was excellent taking us on a snorkeling tour . It was unusually rougher due to weather 3/3/26. We were unable to anchor for lunch and they promptly refunded us for to reduce the price to half day prices. This was the 3rd time we have sailed with Big Beards. We highly recommend them!!

    The experience was amazing for my first time in St. Croix, first-time snorkeling, all around lots of firsts on this trip. Not much of a swimmer but the crew assisted me with lessons prior to the experience. They were super friendly (and the captain was handsome af lol). Would definitely do this again.

    Exceptional sailing; Magical water; Unbelievable underwater exploration; Delicious food at lunch; Friendly and supportive crew (thanks Captain Mike for keeping a watch over my dad and letting him be the center of attention for now on). O-H-I-O Crew

    I did the full day snorkeling tour to the Buck Island. Greg was our captain. Sidney and Dominique were the staff. Went during Thanksgiving weekend. Only 10 passengers. So it was a very comfortable trip. It is one of the 5 companies that have licenses to tour the Buck Island so they know what they are doing. I knew lunch was small and had limited options but I wanted to do the full day anyways because I wanted a relaxed tour on a sail boat. If you are in a rush and have a lot of things to cover in St Croix or if you are a cruise customer, I strongly recommend the half day tour. You won't miss out much. The $120(+tips) that we paid per person was a good price point considering everything is expensive on the island. Bring a water proof case for your camera or cellphone. Very very imp. You will have to swim to the island.

    Hands down the best snorkel we have ever done! My husband said it was better than the Great Barrier Reef! Felt like we were swimming in a fish tank. The crew was awesome and very accommodating. We did the full day tour and it was well worth the cost for what we got. Lunch was delicious, the drinks were flowing (after snorkel) and it was just a really fun day. A must do if you visit St. Croix.

    We booked the full day snorkeling excursion to Buck Island. We were greeted by friendly staff at check in and reviewed our day itinerary. We set off at 9:30a to head to Buck Island Beach. We did some practice snorkeling for a little while and then proceeded to the lagoon for reef and underwater trail snorkeling. What an incredible reef full of tropical fish, we saw a turtle and a few barracuda! After that we headed to a private beach for a bbq and socializing with the group. We cruised back after our exciting day on the water. Highly recommend while visiting St Croix!

    Great trip! Jackie, Amy, Logan and Captain Curtis did a great job keeping us entertained and safe. This is a must do if in St. Croix. The scenery can not be beat. Great sites all around.

We both saw the coolest things they pointed out and got a chance to touch the bioluminescent jellyfish they caught and kept in a jar for us to touch. (They were returned to the sea afterwards, no worries.) We had a mechanical issue with the boat on the return trip, and our guide diagnosed it swiftly and then towed us back to shore. 10/10, no notes, highly recommended. FYI: There is a gift shop with snacks, water, tea/soda, and clothes along with the usual bits. Useful to know for planning your day.

You do not wear shoes in the kayaks and you will get wet. They warn you to not take anything with you (phone, shoes, etc.) that you do not want to lose or get wet. The guides are knowledgeable of the bioluminescent critters and are used to taking people out on the 8 pm tour. Don't expect to see things brightly glowing all around you, but you will see a lot of glowing upon movement and disturbance of the water. When you realize that you are actually seeing these things it's very cool! I decided not to take my phone because it is very difficult to get a good picture of the things that glow. There is a section that is a little choppy/wavy that may be strenuous to some. Overall, I would say it's fun and educational and to give it a try!

    Awesome Time! This is our 12th trip to USVI and Good Day is hands down the best charter we have…read moreever had. The company really makes you feel like you are family. I cannot say enough about our Captain Dusty. He was incredible! He took us to the Baths, Willy T and the Indians. Jumped off the top of Willy T for hours and that Crispy Chicken sandwich was amazing! Great snorkeling, great lunch and Captain's good company. Dusty kept our two 12 YO boys happy by speeding over the waves and lifting them off their seats. He also let them experience actually driving the boat all the way down the channel (under his supervision of course). Made both of them feel like they were the Captains for the day. We have chartered boats all over the Virgin Islands and we have never experienced such a unique blend of professionalism, courtesy and sincere desire to make your day on the water the best day ever. We will not charter with anyone else after being spoiled by Good Day. In fact my Brother just booked three of their boats for October. If you are looking to spend one of the most memorable days of your life, call Good Day; they will make it happen! Why are you still reading? Pick up the phone and call or text Dusty!

While sightseeing was fun and the general island vibe was noteworthy, the most memorable part of my experience was all thanks to Good Day Charters. The Captain and his crew were very knowledgeable and entertaining. They really cater to what you want to get out of the trip. I was a snorkeling "virgin" and Dusty was very patient helping me to figure out how to get everything on correctly and even gave me some pointers on how to swim deeper and see all the fascinating wildlife underwater. The staff was great at navigating the waters and getting us up close to the action... and keeping us fed and hydrated when we weren't floating with the fishies. When choosing a charter to have the experience of a lifetime, I can't see any other option than Good Day Charters. I can't wait to get back and do it all over again!

He is very knowledgeable about the area and was an absolute expert navigating the terrain of the rain forest and mountain. It's a really fun ride when you have a driver/tour guide that you trust!

You have to do a little bit of rock climbing to get to the pools but Kendall gave us step-by-step instructions and it was a blast. (I am not a rock climber!)

Please see the attached pictures and read the facts of our experience and decide what would be best for you and yours. Attached are pictures of the facility and their equipment including the two working Jeeps on this day. By lunch time they only had one working Jeep. We left out in "The Green Machine " just after 9 am. We made a stop at the gas station for fuel. We made our way out to Udall Point and then on our way the west side of the island at about 11:15 an while on the main road, not off road, we saw the the rear right wheel and axle pass in front of us. It flew ahead of us and luckily slammed into a tree on the roadside and not into on coming traffic. Our driver was able to get the Jeep off the road just a few feet from a telephone pole. A few more feet we would have slammed head on into the pole. If not for a Good Samaritan who stopped to check on us we would have been stuck on the side of the road for more than 2 hours. A tow truck showed up fairly quickly and hauled off "The Green Machine." The Good samaritan took us and the driver a couple more miles up the road to the chicken shack where we waited until after 2:00 pm for the one other working Jeep to come pick us up. We did have a good lunch at the Chicken Shack. The lady who took our money and another gentleman showed up in the other Jeep. Our driver loaded us up on this Jeep and we returned to the office. I had to hold the door shut on the way back. Upon the return to the Tan Tan office we were offered the option to complete the trip this day or schedule a half day tour another day. Being that we were more than 2 and half hours behind schedule and had dinner reservations we were not able to continue this day. We were not able to reschedule for another half day tour during the remainder of our trip. We asked for a full refund form the lady who took our cash and she informed us she could not refund our money. We asked to speak to the owner. She informed us the owner was not on the islands but was able to get him on the phone. We advised him we wanted a full refund due to the unfulfilled tour and being put in an unreasonable dangerous situation due to the faulty vehicle. Take a look at the picture and make a call for your own safety. The owner refused to refund our money. He offered half a refund or a half day tour another day. We advised neither option would work for us. We simply wanted a refund. He flat out said he would not refund our money & we informed him we would make a factual post of our experience on social media with Tan Tan, with pictures and seek legal assistance to recoup our money. We offered to accept a refund and take no further action and part on good terms. The owner refused to refund our money and told us to do what we needed to. So here we are. Please review pictures and make a decision for yourself.
