Private Afternoon Jeep: 1–4 PM Half‑Day of Snorkel, History and Off‑Roading on St. Thomas.
This private half‑day jeep tour out of Charlotte Amalie compresses the best of St. Thomas into a focused afternoon: coastal viewpoints and historical sites, an on‑water snorkeling stop, some light off‑road driving and a quieter stretch of beach to unwind — all led by a professional guide and tailored to your group.

Off‑road Coastal Drives & Hidden Beaches
The itinerary mixes scenic coastal drives and light off‑roading with time at a secluded beach where the group can relax away from busier public stretches. The afternoon format keeps momentum while letting you linger where it matters.
Snorkeling with Provided Gear
A guided snorkel stop is part of the half‑day experience; snorkel gear, fins and flotation are provided so you can get in the water without hauling equipment ashore.
Private Guide, Custom Stops and Refreshments
Tours are private and customizable with a professional guide/driver; essentials such as beach chairs, blankets and a cooler stocked with bottled water are included to keep the afternoon comfortable.
What the day feels like
What the Half‑Day Feels Like
You board at 1 PM and move through a carefully paced loop: a handful of quick lookout or historical stops, a snorkel at a nearby cove, and time on a quieter beach accessed by a short stretch of unpaved trail — all managed by a single guide so the afternoon reads like a compact, customized expedition rather than a scheduled checklist.
