Fantastic Jeep Tour Meatball and Thomas took our party of 6 on a fantastic Jeep tour of St. Thomas where we spent time on a secluded beach where we were practically alone away from the crowds. We even asked for a quick stop to get some local Roti. We saw some amazing views of the island. we highly recommend this half-day tour. read more

The Captain Andy and Mate Darian are fantastic! They really made the trip informative, safe and fun. We saw rays, turtles, lots of tropical fish, an octopus, and even goats climbing on one of the islands. The sunset location the Captain chose was amazing. Music on board was a perfect match for each location and experience. Pizza Pi was delicious, and they were even able to make a vegan pie for some of my family members. My daughter was able to get on board even with her leg in a cast. I will definitely be re-booking Ocean Surfari when returning to St. Thomas. read more

We had a total blast on this snorkeling tour with John and Captain CJ. It was just the right amount of people and the crew was really fun. You get to snorkel two calm areas and see all sorts of fish, eels, turtles and if you're lucky, some rays. It literally monsooned rain towards the end but the crew kept everyone laughing. We swam in the pouring rain and got to see a ship wreck. The floating Pizza Pi boat delivered our pizzas which was very fun. The pizza was tasty and warm. We had an open bar after diving to enjoy fruity drinks, seltzers or beers. It's a very fun day and totally worth $99. Make sure you tip your crew. read more

We had the absolute BEST experience with Jeep Surfari in St. Thomas! This was our first excursion we've ever booked outside of the cruise ship, and it exceeded every expectation. Ask for Meatball-- he was our personal Jeep guide and was absolutely AMAZING. He truly went over and beyond for us. He had cold drinks ready, beach chairs , and made sure we were completely taken care of the entire time. Not only was he fun and personable, but he was incredibly knowledgeable about the island's history and culture. We learned so much while still having a relaxing, unforgettable day. As cruise passengers, we were a little nervous booking independently, but he was very attentive to our ship time and made sure we were back with plenty of time -- zero stress! Booking was easy, and communication throughout the entire process was excellent. My advice: Book early Ask for Meatball Bring cash -- because you are absolutely going to want to tip him well after the amazing tour you'll get! Hands down one of the best excursions we've ever done! read more

Such a fun snorkeling trip. 2 amazing stops to snorkel, pizza delivery, dance party, and beautiful sunset! They picked us up on John Island (most people got on at St Thomas). We saw turtles, sting ray, manta ray, tarpon, and mutton. It was the best thing we did all vacation, 10/10 highly recommend!!! read more

Everything was AMAZING!! Meatball is the BEST! He took us to the most beautiful locations. Let us take our time. So much knowledge about the islands. He answered every question. Hilarious as well!! I honestly can't say which beach we liked better out of the 3 he took us to. Definitely wish we did a full day trip instead of a half a day, but we will come back! We wish he could have been our tour guide the entire time we were here. #governormeatball read more

Family of 4 had a great time on do it all tour. Captain CJ, Darian and John top class! Thanks for a great afternoon!

Had a great snorkel sunset tour yesterday! We had an entertaining captain and first mate, delicious Pizza from a floating boat Pizza Pi food truck, beautiful breathtaking sunset, short dance party on the boat led by Ren, and snorkeled at Maho Bay (sea turtles, stingrays, fish) and Christmas Cove (amazing coral structures, fish, starfish, stingrays), and tasty painkillers on the route home. I would recommend this trip to anyone! Low key, fun, on a large katamaran which helps with sea sickness... overall a great time! read more

Did the reef sufari snorkel trip. We went to Maho Bay and little James. Both great stops. We saw a bunch of sea turtles at Maho Bay. We did not see turtles at Little James but saw stingray and plenty of colorful fish. Plenty of snack, water and soft drinks were available throughout the trip. Super fun trip. Our Captain was Andy and LeAndre was our first mate. Outstanding service and attention from both. After we finished snorkeling it was time for pizza, dancing and drinks with a gorgeous island sunset. Excellent trip, probably our most fun stop of the trip. Enjoy read more

John & Andy were high energy, fun, and engaging the entire trip. We were hoping to see more turtles but John was able to point 2 out and a lot more marine life which was great! Drinks at the end were good, but if you're looking to drink throughout the trip this may not be the tour for you. I personally didn't mind since I didn't want to be drunk in the water ‍ but to each their own read more

What amazing experience. Reasonably priced, booked everything online. You arrive 15 minutes early to check in at their retail shop. Parking is always a challenge in St. Thomas we were fortunate to park at the parking structure across the street. We were greeted by Jamie who was the host for the adventure. She was very nice and friendly the whole trip. Drinks and snacks are included, also after you are done snorkeling alcoholic beverages are available. Our pilot Andy was extremely professional and knowledgeable, as a boat pilot myself whe chatted about the vessel. Which was immaculate and well maintained which put my mind at ease. We went to two locations to snorkel, first was Maho Bay, St. John where we saw several sea turtles which was amazing. Then we went to St. James which is a private island and the reef there was incredible with tons of marine life and we also saw more turtles. They provide the snorkels, masks, fins and a flotation device FYI, we brought our own. The overall experience was amazing I would recommend if you are either vacationing on St. Thomas or St. John. Both Jamie and Andy were excellent hosts every step of the way. read more

My family went on the snorkeling pizza sunset cruise. It was recommended by a local and we are soooo happy we listened. CJ, Darien, and John were responsible yet fun and entertaining! Our trip was filled with seeing an array of sea life, a boat pizza delivery, a beautiful sunset and dancing until we docked . My kids had a great time. Our son was given an honorary 4th mate award for his dancing and finding 2 spotted Eagle Ray! I was nervous about my 8 year old going snorkeling but he did great!!! This was a unique experience and worth the money! read more

These guys are absolutely awesome. We took the 5.5 hour package for $99 which was probably 50% cheaper than any other island tour I've done. I can't imagine anyone wouldn't have a great time. Special thank you to their team read more

Amazing boat excursion to St. John, USVI, perfect combo of snorkeling adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty. Shout out to Captain CJ and the fantastic first mate, Ren. Both were friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured we had an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The boat was spacious, and equipped with everything we needed to relax and enjoy the day. Great time to soak in some sun, enjoy the views, and listen to some good music between snorkeling stops. All in all, this excursion was an outstanding way to explore St. John National Park. Highly recommend! read more

What a fun evening excursion! First mates Jake, Sierra and Chris were awesome hosts, who kept the energy alive with music, dance and jokes. We enjoyed two snorkeling spots off St John, where I was able to spot several starfish, stingrays, a spotted eagle ray, trunkfish, turtles, giant conch, sand worms and other assorted fish. Sierra and Chris were generous with the drink, and we were provided snacks throughout the afternoon. We stopped at Christmas Cove, where we ate pizza from the famous Pizza Pi boat. We stopped for sunset photos and a celebration, including a conga line. The price is quite reasonable for everything you get in this 6-hour trip. Stop thinking and just book this trip - you will not regret! read more

We went out today with CJ and Ren and they were amazing. The trip was amazing. We did see Sea Turtles at both locations Caneel Bay and Christmas Cove at Little St. James. We did not see them while snorkeling, although others on the boat did! I was sea turtle hunting and swam pretty close up on a ~4 ft barracuda in all his glory, lol. The Pizza Pi at Little St. James is made on a boat and delivered by dinghy. Sunset did not disappoint and the drinks were flowing. This is a must! Thank you CJ and Ren!! Until next time read more

I took the "Do It All Trip: Snorkel, Pizza & Sunset Cruise" tour on February 1, 2024. I paid $104. Before I signed up for the tour at their retail store in Cruz Bay, I asked if they had vegan option for pizza. Both of their staffs who were there then said yes. I asked again when I checked in on the day of cruise, and the staff at the retail store (different person than the two I had spoken with) said yes. But there was no vegan pizza. All pizzas had cheese on them. The captain offered me salad as an alternative, which wasn't an acceptable alternative to pizza in my book. After two snorkeling, I was rather cold and wanted to have something warm. I stayed hungry until we finally came back to Cruz Bay. I asked for a $25 refund for the misinformation and inconvenience I suffered, and they promptly refunded me with an apology, which was nice. In terms of snorkeling locations, since this was a boat tour, I automatically assumed that both locations were somewhere offshore only reachable by a boat. But I was rather disappointed to discover that one of them was Maho Bay which was easily accessible by a car. Since I was staying on St John for a week with a rental car, I had been there multiple times. There was no point for me to pay for a boat ride there. The snorkeling spot was right by the beach where I had been. I wish they gave me a warning when I signed up at Cruz Bay. The other snorkeling location Great St James island was new to me, and I enjoyed seeing many corals and fish there. The captain and crew were professional and cheerful. Overall, I would have enjoyed this tour thoroughly if I wasn't staying on St John, and if I didn't have dietary restrictions. read more

We had the best time! The snorkeling was excellent - saw beautiful tropical fish, sea turtles, lobster, octopus and more! The crew - outstanding. Captain CJ, John and Darian were knowledgeable and so much fun! Loved the music, dancing and pizza! We would highly recommend recommend this excursion read more

We were hosted by Ocean Surfari for a snorkel and sunset cruise during a company retreat event. Dallas was a great captain and Sydney was a fantastic host, my entire party had a fabulous time. The cruise was conducted professionally, and we all had a fantastic time. We highly recommend Ocean Surfari, and recommend you specifically ask for Dallas and Sydney! We definitely would return again. read more

We booked the Do it all snorkel trip and at first I was a little hesitant about what we were in store for because of the low price-you know, you get what you pay for. When I saw the boat and felt the energy of the awesome crew, I knew we were in good hands! We had a blast and went to two great snorkel spots. Christmas Cove was our favorite. Super clear water and we were blessed to see two dolphins swimming at the bottom! The pizza was great, the music was great and the cocktails were the best! I mean who doesn't love a Painkiller and a free for all ice chest with unlimited beer! 10/10 recommend! read more

CJ and her crew were extremely knowledgeable and helpful to everyone. The team was not only very serious about our safety, they were a lot of fun. We saw a lot of turtles and pretty fish at both of our stops. The pizza was hot and plentiful and hit the spot on our sunset party. read more

This review is for the Monster Tarpons only because THEY ARE NOT GETTING ENOUGH CREDIT! If you go into the shop, you can ask to feed them. They give you a cup of fish for a couple bucks, walk you out to the dock, and the tarpons go INSANE. They're huge, and it's so fun to see how quick they swim! Tabatha helped us, she was awesome. Very patient with us and didn't rush us. It's a cheap, quick experience, and worth it. Very unique and so much fun. read more

Our " Captain" on a 4 hour half day boat was incredibly abusive, would not shut up through the whole trip and refused to put his cigarette out after asking more than a few times. He became abusive. No call for that kind of behavior anywhere. The fishing reels were old and in POOR shape, rusted and had very poor action, which you needed because sharks were taking the fish off the line. His comment" use the hand you don't have your purse on". First time I wanted to punch out a captain on a charter and I've been on A LOT of fishing charters. Don't bother with this outfit. Plenty of others on the island who will treat you with respect. read more

Had a great time on the Reef Surfari for the snorkeling, pizza, and sunset cruise on 7/29/24. First, the price was very reasonable for a 5.5 hour excursion. The captain and deck hands were very personable and knowledgeable about the marine life that we were seeing. At the first stop, deckhand John got in the water with us at Maho Bay to help us to locate sea turtles and to answer questions that people had. At both snorkel stops, captain Andy gave us great advice on where to snorkel I'd we wanted to see fish, coral, turtles, or a sunken sailboat. They were also great about educating the group on what was proper protocol for interacting with the animals in an effort to ensure that we did not harm the ecosystem. After stop 2 at Christmas Cove, pizza was delivered from Pizza Pi and the bar was open! Pretty good painkillers and rum punch plus a selection of domestic and local beers and a hard seltzer option. After dinner, we were taken to a spot to watch the sunset over St. Thomas. Tunes were blasting, some people floated in the bay on pool noodles, but everyone was having a great time. On the boat trip to drop off guests at St. John and the return trip to Red Hook, the dance party was in full effect! I've done a number of these types of trips over the years on different Caribbean islands, but this was truly one of the best I've ever experienced and several other patrons were saying the same thing. If you are staying on St. John or St. Thomas, want to do some snorkeling, and like a good party, book this trip. You won't regret it! read more

Take this your. You're guaranteed a good time! Safety is a serious matter on this boat. But after that the main concern is everyone enjoys themselves. We took the sunset cruise. Lots of snacks and drinks supplied. The captain and her crew were really friendly and knowledgeable about the islands and animals . Loved the dance party on the way back! Best money we spent all trip! read more

Just a warning; after we took our fabulous snorkeling and pizza adventure on the boat we tipped the captain and "mate" in cash. After that Ocean Surfari added a 20% tip to our group's bill that we were unaware was going to happen. read more

We took a fishing trip with this company and we had a good time. Initially we wanted to go to the shelf for bigger fish so we went to smoother waters (per our direction to the captain) and found some fish there. I would recommend this business and Captain Jeff. read more

Captain Jeff is outstanding and a true professional in all aspects of boating and coaching on fishing. We left out of St Thomas rode out about 40 minutes and put us on the fish. We had six in our trip and we all brought a fish in. Dinner for two nights delish. I've experienced other charters and this by far exceeded my expectations and I credit this back to captain Jeff. His attention to detail and ability to assist us was beyond. When we ended our trip his filet skills and advice on preparing our fish was an A+. Really who gets a sushi roll named after them - our Captain. Thank you Jeff for amazing trip. Join us for some wine tasting soon read more

Always great 5th time with fam and friends. Steve and Dallas were awesome. Always just a little different due to weather and sea.

We had an ideal fishing trip with ocean safari charters and Captain Eric. This was the first time we had taken the USVI fishing charter over the last 20 years or so. Without doubt, it was the best. The main difference right off was that Captain Eric has us fishing deep about 30 minutes after leaving the pier. Previous excursions had shied away from going to deep water on half day charters. It had always made sense to us and we always had fun but were lucky to catch enough fish to feen us for one meal. Eric told us the drop off and trench would not take much more time and suggested we do it. We were not particular about what we wanted to catch but I have to say, my first choice would be Tuna, second, Mahi mahi. For this half day charter, I'll let the pictures tell the rest of story of our fishing. We ate sooo good the rest of the week thanks to Eric and Ocean Surfari read more

Such an unexpected fabulous day! We had booked another company months in advanced and got canceled. We frantically search for another adventure that would take us to pizza pi. WOW! Glad we got canceled. This was an incredible trip. We did the "do it all", snorkel, pizza and sunset. Chris, Elsie and Riley were an incredible team with first class hospitality. Plenty of pizza, snacks and drinks for a day that made our vacation. We highly recommend this tour if you want to enjoy time out on the water. PS, ask for the Blue Drink! read more

So good. You will not regret booking! Everything you'd want in a snorkel cruise which is snorkeling in two spots (we went on a cloudy day and our kids still enjoyed seeing a sting ray and a nurse (reef?) shark), followed by open bar, a novel and fun pizza-boat-on-the-water delivery, entertaining but not over the top captain, Juan, and then what felt like a spontaneous dance party with great music once the sun set and we were cruising back to shore. Juan played great music and our kids danced too! :) We did the Do it All snorkel cruise which departed Red Hook at 2pm and arrived back at 7:30pm. It was a cloudy, windy day with no visible sunset and we still had the best time! read more

We went on a two stop snorkel charter during our stay in St. Thomas in April. I would not recommend Maho Bay; it was incredibly cloudy. The captain said it is always poor visibility there and that made me wonder why they continue to choose that location? The second stop was to Christmas Cove. We had great visibility there and saw lots of sea life. read more

LeAndre, Dallas, and the best Captain Around made for a perfect trip where we felt safe and had a great time. They got the party started and kept it going. This was by far the best money spent on the "Do it All" trip. The food (Pizza PI) was amazing. The views were great. The staff and company were awesome. I'd highly recommend spending your afternoon with Ocean Surfari. read more

Are you kidding me? The best crew and the nicest charter boats! The staff is highly talented fishermen and will put you on the fish! We had a great day on board and 20 minutes in we hooked a beautiful white marlin. The crew was on top of everything all day and we had a blast. What a nice break to climb in the air conditioned living area to recoup. We grabbed some lunch and had two triple hook ups back to back. Lots of black tuna and a nice 30lb Mahi. If you want to spend a day fishing, don't waste your time anywhere else. Call these guys and you will not regret it. read more
