US VIRGIN ISLANDS · ST JOHN ISLAND TOURS & DAY TRIPS
25 reviewed
Two thirds of St John is national park, which is why the island looks the way it does and why the north-shore bays are worth the crossing. Below are the best ways to spend a day there: boats that run straight into the bays, taxi tours over Centerline Road, and snorkel sails that stop at Maho or Honeymoon. Prices, durations and departure points for each.
