St. Thomas Coral World Tour Excursion Reviews

This was one of the best excursions, It was a beautiful place with the mountains, beach and coral world, to be able to see what is in the ocean without getting we. It is run down inside bu worth seeing. Coki beach is great and beautiful, it is a lot of locals and plenty of security around, friendly people, umbrellas, chairs right next door to coral world. Lots of Iguanas lying around everywhere, shops and food and drinks are there, just beautiful. worth going will go again and spend some time at the beach

This was by far, one of the most informative sites I have visited. The staff were excellent and very helpful. From petting baby sharks, feeding the sting rays, visiting the sea turtles, sea lions and then entering the facility below sea level to watch the marine life in the surrounding ocean, this was an outstanding experience for anyone of all ages. I only wish that we had more time there to enjoy the beach as well.

We did the coral land and coral sea tour. The semi submersible boat was very neat for viewing the reef inside the bay, but it was very short and coral world is ok but nothing special. Would not do this again.

The semi-submarine was pretty good. I recommend this excursion for people with children. It was a bit boring for 2 adults.

Coral World was alot of fun for all.

The Skyride to Paradise Point was closed for whatever reason, so we booked an alternate shore excursion at Coral World Ocean Park. The bus driver managed to navigate us successfully around the winding, hilly St. Thomas roads to and from the park. I noticed something weird about how they drive in St. Thomas: Even though they drive on the left, the steering wheels in the cars are on the left side also. This means that the driver is on the curb side of the street as they drive. That doesn't seem too safe to me, although postal and garbage drivers here in the States drive on the curb side all the time in relative safety. The park itself was beautiful, and filled with iguanas, stingrays, iguanas, sharks, iguanas, sea turtles, iguanas, gorgeous lorikeets, and iguanas, among other flora and fauna of the Caribbean. Did I mention that there were iguanas? They were all over the place. One even interrupted a presentation on the endangered green sea turtle. As people were eating at the snack bar, iguanas walked right up to their tables. We petted the stingrays, and found out the true story of how Steve Irwin died. This is an attraction that is very much worth the time and money. After some shopping at Havensight Mall in St. Thomas, we ate one of the only two on-shore meals we had, at Wendy's. We had been advised to steer clear of local food, so we decided that Wendy's, being an international franchise, could be trusted.

This is overhyped and definitely delivered. Didn't originally plan to go here and am so glad we did. Imagine an aquarium where you really can get up close and personal with sharks, manta rays and Sea Lions. The highlight of this port!

We walked the ocean floor with the helmet on which was amazing. The facility was a bit run down but the beach right beside Coral World was beautiful. The driver to Coral World could have told us about the island while driving to make the experience better.

We had a private time with Omar the Sea Lion. That sea lion really wanted to play. He was friendly and fun and very sweet. My daughter got a big kick of the time with him. It was just the three of us and got to spend 45 minutes and really learned a lot about sea lions. You could tell Omar loved to be rubbed as he was starting to snooze at one point.

the best excursion and we did the Sea Trek underwater as well. Well worth the 200.00 you pay.

Met the guide on the pier then we boarded a small air conditioned bus driven a short distance to the Coral World Park and taken to the location inside for the Seal Swim. The woman told us to return in an hour for our tour. We walked around seeing large turtles, iguanas, and starfish you can touch. The bathrooms have changing areas and there is a place to grab a burger but boy it is expensive costing like $26 for two burgers, and two slushies. They have a shop to buy things including postcards and it is how you exit the park. Small children would love this place there is so much we didn't have time to see and a small beach to swim. Then you walk to the front where the drivers wait and once everyone has returned we drove back to the ship.

Drive to Coral World showed the bad side of St Thomas. Garbage was everywhere you looked. Not impressive. Park was run down, bathrooms were dirty, windows in the aquarium were so slimmy you could barely see through them. Fish/animals seemed to be neglected. I wouldn't waste my money.

The helmut dive was at Coral World so we just spent most of the day. they have pools of turtles, sharks and other fish that you can swim with as well as the helmut dive. they have a snack bar, showers, and reef exhibit. It was a nice place.
