Buck Island was beautiful! There was great snorkeling, swimming, and walking. We even got to see some baby sharks. We booked a half day trip with Captain Heinz on the Terroro II. He was a great host and very laid back. He gave you plenty of warning before it was time to leave and lots of pointers on things to see. He and his assistant were very helpful and made sure that all the guests were comfortable in the water and with their snorkeling gear.

“disappointed with Diva”

Buck Island Reef National Monument

7/10 found this review helpful

We booked with Diva after reading many great reviews...we booked on a Tuesday for a Friday trip. Got a call on Thursday night @ 8PM cancelling our trip for Friday due to a cancellation. It seems that if less than 4 people book the trip, Diva isn't interested. We had made other plans based on taking the trip to Buck Island when scheduled, and had to rearrange other plans due to this cancellation. Would have preferred if Diva had dealt with losing some revenue to satify it's customers, but I guess that's just one example of "island time" way of doing business. Let the buyer beware!

Going to Buck Island is the most memorable part of our trip. This is a must if you go to St Croix. We did a half day trip through Caribbean Sea Adventures and I regret not taking the full day trip. It just was not enough time out there. I recommend brining a waterproof camera, to remember the beautiful coral and sea life. At the beach I felt like I was in a post-card. Just fantastic!

We took a half day trip to Buck Island on the Teroro II catamaran. The Teroro II and the Dragonfly are two sailboats captained by father and son Capt. Heinz and Capt. Carl. They leave from the Green Cay Marina just outside Christiansted. The Teroro holds 15 to 20 passengers comfortably and Capt. Carl (the son) is an friendly and gracious host who seems to know everything about St. Croix. The sail over to Buck Island takes about 45 minutes. Then we had about an hour of snorkeling on the reef and then another hour or so on the beach to hike, swim and do more snorkeling. A great trip.
