The islands' classics.
The 10 most popular st john tours in the US Virgin Islands, with what each trip includes, the operator behind it, and the price.
Glow paint night kayaking from the Westin in St. John—clear-bottom kayaks, tarpon and stingray spotting, and starry paddling for $69.
“You will definitely see Tarpon. It's fun and exciting. This was our 2nd time and it was calmer water, full moon, and less marine activity. Last year the ballyho were flying all over. Guides are great. Bernard this time.”
St John two-tank morning scuba trip with Low Key Watersports: PADI 5 star service, reef sites 30–80 ft, gear included, small groups.
“Lovely morning dives. The crew was very friendly and approachable. Also quite knowledgeable. I wish the reef had had more things to see, but that’s not the dive shop’s fault. Would definitely dive again with them.”
A private 2.5-hour St. John tour with beach viewpoints, Annaberg Sugar Plantation ruins, and quick stops guided by locals.
“My group of four had a great experience with the tour guide (Hibiscus). She was very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly. We saw some beautiful sights on our tour. It's a great way to see some of the major attractions of St John.”
Kayak and snorkel in Caneel Bay with sea turtles on St. John. Hike Turtle Point, see wildlife, and enjoy guided instruction.
“This tour is amazing! We had Kenny for a guide who was personable, passionate and just a lot of fun. We kayaked one way for 40 minutes to a secluded beach. We saw many sea turtles, a barracuda and many other fish species. Highly recommend this trip. Pricing was also very reasonable compared to other…”
Full-day St. John snorkel sail with a floating Lime Out taco lunch, two reef stops, loaner gear, and an open bar after snorkeling.
“Had a great time, as always. The crew members are always very attentive and takes care of us. The tacos were delicious. A great way to spend our last day on the island.”
St. John sunset sail from the Westin: 55-foot catamaran, champagne open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a calm Pillsbury Sound ride.
“Beautiful catamaran, great crew, ample free booze. No announcements of what we were seeing (history, sights, gossip), billed as 1-1/2 hours when it was barely 1 hour, could be better choice of passed snacks.”
Sail from St. John to Jost Van Dyke for breakfast, guided snorkeling, White Bay time, and an open-bar happy hour on the way back.
“Amazing day with the crew from Cruz Bay Watersports. From check in to the sail over to Jost and sail back, everything went extremely well. Crew Riley, Eric and Captain Brent, were superb. Very professional, safe and fun. Would highly recommend.”
Private 4-hour St. John tour with Star Fish: beaches, Trunk Bay snorkel trail, Annaberg ruins, mountain views, with pickup included.
“There's time for a quick stop to swim OR stop for lunch (The Windmill has good food, staff and a fantastic view from a high peak).”
St John catamaran snorkeling cruise with Pizza Pi lunch, open bar, and cove swims from the Westin dock.
“No need to pack a towel. They have them for you!”
Full-day Baths of Virgin Gorda adventure from St. John with snorkeling, breakfast, lunch, and an open bar from Westin.
“It was ok. The tour operators were young and a bit nonchalant . They took off and lost people through the baths. Wear very good shoes . Very slippery. People were wondering and asking where to go.”
