Prepare yourself for an extraordinary adventure with Tan Tan Tours on St. Croix! This open-air four-wheel drive Jeep tour takes guests on a thrilling ride as they explore the island’s lush rainforest and take in the breathtaking views around the island. With full and half day tour options, guests are rewarded with the rare opportunity to swim in St. Croix’s Annaly Bay Tide Pools. These large, naturally formed pools are located on the island’s beautiful North Shore and are accessible most notably via a challenging hike.
Thankfully, the fun and friendly staff of Tan Tan Tours can take you there in one of their tried-and-true Jeeps! In addition to the Tide Pools, other attractions guests encounter include the rainforest, historical ruins, Cane Bay Beach and Point Udall. Owner Waze Phillips officially started the business in 2000 but was sitting on the idea for over seven years. “I started doing these off-road Jeep tours with friends back in 1993 and they all enjoyed seeing St. Croix from a different point of view,” said Phillips. “You get to see St. Croix from the highest to the lowest points in a way that has never been experienced before.” Seven years later, Phillips felt he was ready to make the business official. “I am a praying man and never do anything without extensive prayer. I think seven years of prayer was enough!” As the travel to St. Croix has increased, Phillips has found the Tide Pool Tour to be the most efficient option for visitors. The half-day and full-day tours are four and eight hours respectively however, the Tide Pool Tour is approximately two hours long. “Guests can experience a bit of our half day excursion and can safely get to the Annaly Bay Tide Pools with us with ample time left to do other activities during their visit.” Pack your sunscreen, hat, water socks (for the tide pools), swimsuit and towel and get ready for a thrilling excursion with Tan Tan Tours.
