About this experience
It's a curated cultural experience designed entirely around you. Think of it as having your own island insider who plans a day that matches your vibe.
While tours show you sights, this experience immerses you in real island life with a local friend who shares stories, culture, and effortless adventure. Enjoy an authentic lunch or explore the island's nightlife without hitting the town solo.
We only accept three reservations per time slot with a maximum of ten guests total for a relaxed, personal vibe. Larger group? We’ll make it happen.
Easygoing travelers only! If you’re uptight or rigid, this may not be for you. Island time is magic. Come ready to kick back while we handle the details.
Locally owned by a young native Virgin Islander and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., this family business keeps your experience authentic while supporting other local, family partners across the island.
