St. John is dominated by the Virgin Islands National Park, with low-key development confined to the eastern and western tips of the island. Beyond Mongoose Junction and other low-key, upscale shopping spots in the louche port of Cruz Bay lies a largely undisturbed tropical paradise.
But if 'National Park' makes you think bird-watching and hiking boots, bear in mind it also covers some of the Caribbean’s best beaches, especially along the island’s north shore. None of them are particularly over-run, but if you want even more privacy, head to the more rugged south shore. Just about anywhere along the coast will provide excellent snorkeling opportunities.

That was really amazing tour with fabulous views, beautiful beach, and nice snorkeling experience. St. John is lush, quiet, and well maintained island. One can enjoy nature there. The guide was affable and told a lot about the island.

Doing what: St. John and Snorkeling at Trunk Bay
This was an amazing tour. Well worth the money. Our guide was fabulous and knew all about St. John. Our connections from hotel in St. Thomas to ride to ferry, ferry to St. John, meeting up with tour guide on St. John and getting ferry back plus a ride back to our hotel went very smoothly. Like clockwork. Stress free. I have used your company before for other trips and will continue to use it for my future travels.
Practical Info
There is no airport on St. John; ferries from St. Thomas arrive at Cruz Bay in the island’s west. While on the island, excellent, well-equipped camping grounds in scenic locations make a great alternative to hotels and resorts.
