The four male sea lions at Coral World come from Uruguay, South America, and offer guests a very special opportunity to get up close and personal with these intelligent yet comical creatures. After an orientation session, join the sea lions in the water for some fun and educational interaction. You will have an opportunity to touch, pet, and play games with the sea lions as they demonstrate their amazing agility. At the end of the encounter, our sea lions will give you a hug, a big wet kiss and the photo op of a lifetime!
We utilize a system of parasailing called controlled parasailing. This system utilizes a hydraulic winch and a platform (flight deck) that is built onto the back of the parasail boat. Guests are gently lifted from the flight deck on the back of the boat and land right back on board the boat. It is the safest, most modern method of parasailing available. You do not have to get wet if you do not want to, but a fun part of the ride is towards the end when the captain can slow the boat down and touch your toes in the water.
Sea Trek is the world's premier underwater helmet diving experience. Imagine walking in zero gravity while surrounded by incredible aquatic life - that's Sea Trek. Following an orientation, a guide will lead you along an underwater trail through the coral reef that surrounds Coral World’s Undersea Observatory. The tour lasts for approximately half an hour. Fish and other sea creatures swim right up to your visor. Because the animals are not captive, you never know what may come your way.
For golfers, the thrill of a lifetime awaits at Mahogany Run Golf Course - a Caribbean resort course rich in tropical foliage, exciting and challenging greens and spectacular vistas! The 14th hole of Mahogany Run – perched on a cliff 200 feet above a rocky inlet of the Atlantic Ocean and commanding an unlimited view of the sea and neighboring U.S. and British Virgin Islands – may well be one of the most photographed and among the most challenging of par-3 holes in the world to its challenging and exciting greens.

From new, never snorkeled before to seasoned snorkelers there is something for everyone. Rocky coast lines, near shore reefs, off shore cays and sunken items like ships and planes provide beautiful and varied snorkeling opportunities. The conditions are; great visibility, fairly constant water temperatures of 79-83 degrees year-round, calm seas with little current and fantastic underwater scenery. In other words, perfect for snorkeling. View gorgeous underwater gardens of coral and visit with the residents; turtles, rays, octopuses, moray eels and an abundance of fish large and small. With the use of a mask, snorkel and fins you can float on the surface and admire the marine life below. Snorkeling is an option from beaches and also by boat trips .
Enter the world of these fascinating, magnificent, and misunderstood creatures through our exhilarating Shark Encounter. After your orientation session in which a guide will take you to the Shark Shallows where you will have an opportunity to enter the pool with a variety of juvenile sharks that inhabit the waters of the Virgin Islands. Experience the thrill of viewing the sharks up close from above and below the water as they circle the pool. Become a shark fan instead of a foe.
Coral World also serves as a rehabilitation center for injured or sick turtles and even struggling hatchlings that have not found their way out to sea and the safety of mats of Sargassum seaweed. Other young turtles have been found with injuries that prevented them from feeding normally. With assistance from a local veterinarian, Coral World has nursed the animals back to health and released them to appropriate habitats. Each year, we help dozens of hatchlings reach a safer environment. When tiny hatchling turtles are washed ashore, people often bring them to Coral World where we assure they are in good health before reintroducing them to the wild. Our staff will monitor their health for up to 90 days before releasing them. We transport hatchlings offshore by boat and place them in floating mats of Sargassum seaweed.
