Book the Shark Encounter and Coral World Marine Park Excursion, and get the charge of a lifetime, as our juvenile sharks circle within a couple of feet of you in the Shark Shallows pool. Your guide will inform you of the truths and myths of this often-misunderstood creature, while explaining about your visit in the pool on this St. Thomas day trip . After your orientation session, a guide will take you and your group of no more than four guests at a time, into the Shark Shallows pool, which is approximately 42 inches deep in the area where you will participate. In addition to your 40-minute shark adventure, your tour price includes admission to the Coral World Marine Park, which offers an Undersea Observatory, Caribbean Reef Encounter, Marine Gardens, Stingray Lagoon, Turtle Pool and Critter Corners. Through activities, feeding demonstrations and exhibits, the park educates guests on the conservation of the ocean's environment as well as its inhabitants.
