Verified TripAdvisor Reviews
“We did the bioluminescence bay clear kayaks (which I recommend all the way) and it was terrific! Everything was very professional and clean. Starts off with some super fun trivia then heading out into the bay. Very informative on where to sit, and plenty of guides out to make sure you don't get split up. The overall length of the tour was perfect. Didn't feel like we were rushed and felt like we had the right amount of exploration. The clear kayaks are 1,000% worth it. As you are in the bay and paddling it almost looks like shooting starts as the kayak goes through the water. That's the only way in my opinion to get the best experience. 10/10 would recommend bush tribe to anyone interested.”

Bioluminescent Bay — Clear Kayaks
“I booked a bioluminescent kayaking tour and had an amazing time! Chris was a fantastic tour guide! He had so much information about the area! My husband and I both got to hold a jelly fish glowing in our hand! The krill were like stars in the sky when your hand went through the water! Unreal! Would definitely recommend anyone to experience this trip!”

Hike to the Tide Pools
“Took my mom on the Bioluminescent kayak tour and we loved it! It was timed perfectly with the moon cycle. The water sparkled with each stroke. Our guides, Chris and Evan, knew a lot about the area, its history, and the organisms that called it home. Will definitely be doing this again.”

“Both the bio bay and the tide pools were awesome! Our tide pools guides were excellent and patient, even took our photos. Lots of laughs and meaningful conversations that didn't feel forced. Very well informed guides. The kayak tour was good too, and there's fun trivia for a prize! It was difficult but seeing the bioluminescence made it well worth the money!”

Bio Bay + Tide Pools
“It was amazing to see the bio-luminescence on this trip. We were lucky enough to see dinoflagellates along with glowing jelly-fish and glowing sea-worms. Apparently this bay is a great place to see dinoflagellates year-round. Expect to canoe about 20 minutes each way to get out in the bay. I would highly recommend this!”

“Super friendly and flexible staff. Amazing knowledge of local history and local plants/animals. We did a walking tour with them and a kayak tour. Both were AMAZING experiences. I just can't say enough kind things about this company. Great communication before the events with reservation confirmation and directions to the meeting sites. If we're in St. Croix again, we will absolutely do one of their tours again.”
