Doing what: St Thomas Shore Excursion: Sea Lion Encounter at Coral World Adventure Park
The tour guide Dave was great and he taught you about the history of French and Dutch side of the island. He stopped at two beaches to give you time to shop or go on the beach...This was the best of my whole cruise tours..

Doing what: St Thomas Shore Excursion: Sea Lion Encounter at Coral World Adventure Park
The beach aside of Coral World was incredible -- the grandkids 9 and 7 just loved all the fish in the water as did I. They food to feed them and the fish swam around you to eat -- my grandson got awesome pictures under the water of them. It was clean and the folks were great. The lady who took care of our group found us someone to braid my granddaughters hair. You could rend umbrellas, chair and locker at the beach. Coral world is aside of the beach a 5 minute walk. It was wonderfull too the Larakeet bird exhibit was really cool, we enjoyed feeding them birds as they sat on your shoulders and head. The sea lion encounter was great!! the kids as did we never saw a Sea lion like Franco he had a mane like a lion and was hugh. The kids were just thrilled to feed him. The trainer and photographer made the experience memorable and we got the USB ($40) well worth it of the session we had. A great day on St Thomas.
