travel the caribbean us virgin islands st thomas turtle cove
Turtle cove is a diving area on Buck Island, a National Wildlife Refuge off the south coast of St. Thomas.
We snorkelled here first in 1992 and again in 2018.
The water is clear and there are enough of a variety of fish and turtles to make it interesting.
In 2018, we went with a group on the Virgin Breeze, hosted by Cory, Nikki, and captain Jay and they did a great job keeping us happy and supplying rum punches to all that wanted them.
That cruise also included a trip to Honeymoon Bay for a couple hours on the beach.
