Turtle Encounter at Coral World Ocean Park in St Thomas

St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands

Get up close to amazing green sea turtles at St Thomas’ Coral World Ocean Park. Learn about this endangered species from an expert instructor, and step into the seaside turtle pool to touch their shells and watch them swim gracefully around you. A portion of proceeds goes toward research and conservation projects to help ensure the turtles’ survival for years to come. After your Turtle Encounter, spend as long as you like exploring other Coral World attractions to discover the marine wonders of the Caribbean and the US Virgin Islands.

After arriving at Coral World Ocean Park at your selected time, you'll be greeted by your expert instructor for an orientation session to learn about the biology, habitat and life cycles of green sea turtles, an endangered species. Hear of the steps taken to protect these magnificent creatures from the many threats they face in the wild, such as hunting and pollution.
Then put on your swimsuit and follow your instructor to the outdoor Turtle Pool. Step into the waist-deep water for a close encounter with two of Coral World’s 100-lb (45-kg) green sea turtles. Run your hands along their hard shells and admire their grace as they swim around you.
You'll gain wonderful insight into these beautiful creatures and come away with a higher respect for them and an awareness of their plight. Plus, a portion of ticket proceeds goes toward research and conservation projects to help save this beloved species, so you can feel even better about your purchase.
After your Turtle Encounter, spend as long as you like exploring the rest of Coral World Ocean Park: explore the Marine Gardens, head to the Undersea Observatory Tower, discover the creatures of the Caribbean Reef and more.

So much fun the turtles were very friendly and the guides taught us lots about them. What's great is how these types of excursions help to pay for feeding and caring for these animals. Would recommend bringing your own towels.

My sister is the one who initially wanted to do this so I was like sure....I am so glad she did. It was amazing learning and getting to swim with the sea turtles and the juvenile sharks. It was so nice to know our guide was someone who went to school to work in the Marine field so it wasn't like it was someone the park hired and trained. You could sense the parks commitment to educating people on the marine and wildlife they have there. We both loved Duncan- the smaller sea turtle we swam with and Tortola--even though she was stand offish. I also appreciate the way they work to help the shark population, they work to get the young ones healthy while still maintaining there need to be put back out on the ocean. It was an experience I will never forget!!!! It is definitely and all ages activity and should be visited at least once if you are in St Thomas.

Expert was very informative and patient. She answered all our questions and was always aware of what the sea turtles were doing to keep us safe. Well worth the experience. Coral world was much smaller then expected but we learned a lot while we were there.
