In the 20+ years I’ve loved St.
John, I’ve been able to swim with turtles only once, and that was off the Caneel Bay beach.

had her up-close-and-personal time with a Hawksbill at Trunk Cay last week. Her husband had
the camera … and she’s given us the video. (Click to see it.) Here’s her story.
I Love Turtles, I saw a few off the cost of Hawaii when I was out scuba diving there.
We’ve swum with turtles every time we’ve been to Frances Bay. They like to hang out between the boats and the shore. The sea grass seems to grow well there and they munch happily all day, sometimes three to a group.
Can’t wait to get to our island paradise! Do you know of any guided trips to see the wonderful turtles, as Friends of the Park has sold out their seminar and trip.
Four of us lucky travelers will be there 3/17 thru 3/24.
Haven’t heard of turtle tours. My recommendation would be do to a day sail and snorkeling in bays … where you might see ’em.
