St Thomas with family 10yr old & 70+ yr old - Tour not getting WET

[NIKII135]

We shall be visiting St Thomas in March on the Allure, arriving at Charlotte Amelie at 10am & leaving at 7pm.

 

We are a family of 2 mid 40s, 2 early 70s and 1 10 year old.

 

We have never been to St Thomas and want to do something interesting with that is not ALL about snorkelling.

 

My parents are not water people & will have no desire to swim or snorkel & perhaps other than having a paddle in the sea, water activities will not be high on their list. That said, they both have said they would do a boat tour as long as they weren't expected to swim off the boat.

 

Does anyone have any experience of any tours that perhaps involved a tour of the island on land & then a boat tour where my husband & son could get off & swim, but wouldn't be too long for parents to be "stuck" on the boat.

 

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

yes, we did Coral World just a few months ago. There is something for everyone. Check it out.

Your family might like the Kon Tiki boat excursion, because they pull right up to the beach and provide a ladder for getting off in the sand. Once there, if you have your own snorkel mask, you can swim along the rocks looking for fish. I saw quite a few just looking down into the water from the boat. A crew member named several fish that you're likely to see in the water. I posted details in a TripAdvisor review I did a while back, but they don't have the same mc now. He was really good.
