Kayaking Through Salt River a Great Way to Begin Coral Reef Week

The East End Marine Park is hosting a series of events to celebrate “Coral Reef Week.” The week kicked off with a fun kayak tour by BushTribe Eco Adventures on Sunday morning.

The goals of “Coral Reef Week” are to connect Virgin Islanders with marine ecosystems through a series of fun activities and events that are free to the public.

BushTribe Eco Adventures tour guides Travis McRae and Ty McRae guided attendees on a fun, informative, and educational two-hour tour through Salt River National Park. Before the tour begins there is a safety briefing and a quick crash course on how to navigate a kayak.

It is highly recommended to listen carefully to the safety briefings and guidance from the guides as they are professional in their work.

While kayaking through the waters of Salt River National Park on the north side of St. Croix, the guides talk about ecosystems, the history of Salt River, and other fun facts about St. Croix.
