Swim with Turtles at Maho Bay, St. John

Locales
Written By The IRC Team

Swimming with turtles at Maho Bay on St. John, is a bucket list item for most visitors. The calm and tranquil turquoise waters make it possible for even the most novice snorkeler!

All day, every day, large Green sea turtles lazily feed on the abundant “turtle grass” just yards from the beach.

Island Roots Charters Recommendation: Visit Maho early in the morning or late in the afternoon — Midday Maho Crossroad crowds are just too much…

Remember to please be mindful of and NEVER touch the turtles despite how “approachable” they might be. Not only do we want to respect wildlife for what it is, but it’s also illegal to touch them. Anyone caught touching or disturbing a turtle can be fined up to $5,000 or even be imprisoned.

Let’s respect the wildlife and keep this special spot a magical place for everyone to enjoy.

After your time in the water, reward yourself with a tropical smoothie at Skinny Legs. A perfect way to round out your day!
