Departing from Frenchtown marina, board your two-person, easy-to-paddle kayak for a 20-minute paddle along the coast of Hassel Island. As you paddle, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the bustling Charlotte Amalie shopping and historic districts surrounding the harbor.

Coming ashore at the Garrison House, you'll hike along a 10-minute rocky trail to Fort Willoughby, a former Danish and British Fort built during the Napoleonic wars - one of the most intact British Naval Forts in the Caribbean.

After a snack and photo opportunities, kayak into Careening Cove where ships traveling from Europe were hauled and repaired. From here, it's only a brief paddle to the 19th-century Creque Marine Railway.

Your next stop is a secluded and picturesque beach which offers a choice of snorkeling with colorful marine life, enjoying a cool dip or relaxing in the shade. A 5-minute paddle will bring you back to Frenchtown.

All participants receive a one-year membership to the non-profit Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park. You'll receive emailed newsletters, a discount in the Friends store, discounts with the businesses in the Friends Affinity Program, an invitation to the annual meeting and discounts on Friends seminars with priority reservations.

5 star rating: Highly Recommended

Reviewed by Thomas R, February 2013

Our guide Cat was great and took care of us well as we were the only couple on the tour. Kayaking was short but adventurous as the winds were strong that day. The island has a lot of historical interest and the climb to the top is great for views. A small but interesting reef awaited us at a secluded beach...the snorkeling was wonderful.
Loved the combination of activities. Very close to town.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! We LOVED our guides. They were kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and FUN! The ruins were beautiful, a must see! The water was clear and our guides free dived to point out spectacular fish and coral. They were so much fun, we wanted to hang out with them all day! They made sure we were safe and well hydrated. I can’t say enough good things about this excursion. Loved it! oh and the hike is easy, don't let that scare you away.
