点评:If you’re looking for something truly unforgettable in St. Thomas, book the Night Snorkel Adventure with St. Thomas Adventures.
Reina was the best. Her knowledge of marine life made this experience unforgettable. She had an amazing eye and could spot things I never would have seen on my own. Then she’d shine her light so I knew exactly where to look. She shared so much about what we were seeing.
We leisurely snorkeled out into Hull Bay at dusk under the moon, past the anchored boats and all the moorings. We saw a turtle, a squirrelfish, and even played with feather duster worms. I couldn’t believe I was just bobbing way out there in the warm Caribbean water, looking back at the lights of St. Thomas.
Reina explained how the daytime reef fish were settling in for the night while the nighttime creatures were coming out. Sea urchins were out moving around, tracking us with their pointy spines. Octopuses and eels were out of their hidey-holes, and we even saw a dozen lobsters. It was so different from snorkeling during the day.
My favorite part was the little squid. I slowly swam after one, and when I got close, he stopped, turned around, threw his tiny little arms up at me like, “RAWR!”, puffed out a little cloud of ink, and scooted away. We felt kind of bad for chasing him. He was so little…and so brave.
As we were heading back, millions of tiny fish suddenly came alive all around us, bumping into our masks. Colors were everywhere! Reina reminded me, “Keep your mouth shut when you take out your snorkel!” Then she noticed a shimmer and quietly said, “I think there’s a tarpon.” Sure enough, there it was. It flashed like polished silver for just a moment before disappearing into the darkness again.
This wasn’t just a snorkel trip. It felt like being invited into another world. I’ll never forget floating under the moon, looking back at the lights of St. Thomas while the ocean came alive around us. It was one of the most magical experiences I’ve ever had

雷娜简直太棒了。她对海洋生物了如指掌,让我们的体验变得难以忘怀。她有着极其敏锐的洞察力,总能发现那些凭我自己根本发现不了的东西;随后她会用手电筒照亮目标,让我清楚该往哪里看。她还向我们详细介绍了所看到的各类海洋生物。
暮色降临后,我们在月光下悠然地朝着赫尔湾方向浮潜。我们绕过了那些抛锚的船只以及所有的系泊点。我们看到了一只海龟、一条松鼠鱼,甚至还和那些形似羽毛的蠕虫嬉戏了一番。我简直不敢相信自己正漂浮在温暖的加勒比海水中,同时还能回头看到圣托马斯岛上的灯光。
雷娜解释说,白天的珊瑚礁鱼类正在为过夜做准备,而夜行性生物则开始活跃起来。海胆也出来活动了,它们用尖锐的刺来追踪我们的行踪。章鱼和鳗鱼也从藏身之处钻了出来。我们甚至看到了一打龙虾。这与白天浮潜的体验截然不同。
我最喜欢的就是那只小鱿鱼。我慢慢地跟在它后面游,靠近时它停了下来,转过身来,举起那细小的触手对我做出“吼!”的样子,还喷出一小团墨汁,然后迅速游走了。我们因为追赶它而感到有些愧疚。它那么小……却又那么勇敢。
在我们返回的路上,数百万条小鱼突然在我们周围活跃起来,不断撞到我们的潜水面罩。色彩无处不在!丽娜提醒我:“戴上呼吸管时可要闭紧嘴巴哦!”接着她注意到有东西在闪光,便轻声说道:“我觉得有一条大海鲢。”果然,它就在那里。它像抛光的银器般闪现了一瞬,随后便又消失在黑暗中。
这可不仅仅是一次浮潜之旅。感觉就像被邀请进入了另一个世界。我永远忘不了在月光下漂浮的情景——回过头,能看到圣托马斯岛上的点点灯火,而周围的海洋也变得生机盎然。这是我经历过的最神奇的体验之一。
