This was certainly one of the most unique pass time experiences we've had in a very long time! The problem solving was fun and the pirate facts enlightening. The most striking aspect of this experience was how personally attentive the owner and employees of this company were - We both felt like VIPs through all of it, the entire afternoon. Playing and laughing together over all the amusing and creative touches created a memory we will both *treasure*.... Definitely worth repeating!

What an incredible experience from start to finish! The hunt was immersive, authentic, and scary. Anthony was very helpful and it was clear that us having a great experience was his top priority. He was awesome. Starting off at Bluebeard's Castle we met Sean who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about pirates and treasure hunting. The view at the top was amazing. Kayaking with Dehayden was fun and spooky. He was an entertaining guide who really elevated the haunted theme. Overall I highly recommend this to people who want to see some cool spots on the island and feel part of the storied past of pirates on St. Thomas. We can't wait to visit the island again and do another treasure hunt!
