The 11 Best Virgin Islands National Park & Trunk Bay Trips

11 reviewed

The park covers most of St John plus the water around it, which is why Trunk Bay still has an underwater trail and why the bays north of Cruz Bay empty out by four. These are the trips inside it: snorkel sails into the protected bays, kayak-and-hike mornings, private tours that take in the Annaberg ruins. Fares, durations and where each one lands.

“Great tour. Picked us up at the resort, took us to the island ferry. Kenneth was waiting on St John when our ferry arrived. He drove us around St John, pointing out key points and stopping at overlooks. He dropped us at Trunk Bay and picked us up after a couple hours. Great snorkeling and relaxing on the beach. Kenneth dropped us off by the ferry with plenty of time to shop and get a late lunch. When our group got back on the ferry to St Thomas he contacted a driver that was waiting on us when we arrived. He took us back to the resort for drop off.”
