Coral World Ocean Park
A unique and ideal way to experience the underwater paradise of St. Thomas, Coral World Ocean Park offers two different ways for you to get up close and personal with the underwater world. Coral World has an underwater observatory that lets you look out beneath the waves through huge observation windows. Visitors can also embark on a Sea Trek, walking along the bottom of the ocean wearing a helmet that keeps your head completely dry. After a short orientation, the experience lasts about a half an hour and is a highlight for many visitors to St. Thomas. Marine life that you may encounter include parrot fish, rays, seahorses and sea lions.
