This island was once made infamous through its attraction to pirates such as Blackbeard and Bluebeard and there are even castles built by the Danes that are attributed to these men. With a deep sea port and lots of nature, pirates were able to hide both themselves and, supposedly, their treasure. English is spoken just about everywhere and the US dollar is often able to be used when shopping at the many unique boutiques and galleries located on St. Although today this city is very sophisticated and modern the island itself has, somehow, retained the feeling of a tropical island getaway, you will be able to experience this while on our St. Thomas Ocean Kayak, Sea Turtle Snorkel and Beach Break Excursion and on our St. Thomas Lindbergh Bay Beach Ocean Kayak and Snorkel Excursion.
