The 15 Best Things to Do on St John

52 tours  ·  from $29 a head

Two thirds of St John is national park and the ferry from Red Hook takes twenty minutes, so most of these run as day trips from St Thomas. The 15 below sort the snorkel sails, the beach runs and the island loops by price and how long they leave you ashore.

Review of Low Key Watersports’ two-tank SCUBA trip in St. John, with reef sites, gear, guides, pricing, logistics, and booking advice.

“Ron was an excellent and informative guide and was also totally willing to freestyle and go wherever we wanted. and was kind enough to drop us off at the restaurant after wards. If you have a limited amount of time on the island, this is definitely a great way to see as much as possible. Absolutely beautiful island. We will be returning and requesting ron by name. Thanks again”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 176 reviews · from $299

Review of the Westin’s St. John to Jost Van Dyke catamaran sail, with snorkeling, White Bay, Soggy Dollar, breakfast, and open bar.

“Jost Van Dyke was fine just a wee bit to much spring break atmosphere for me. The beach itself is nondescript with a number of boats docked within feet from the beach. So there wasn't much space in the water for people. Now as for the vessel and the crew and the great time we had on board it was truly amazing. The snorkeling was great and once again the crew was amazing. Would highly recommend!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 86 reviews · from $329

Review of the Baths of Virgin Gorda tour from St. John, with snorkeling, meals, open bar, customs advice, costs, and practical tips.

“The views were beautiful. The tour itself was not good. Very disorganized. No time to enjoy the water at the baths. Had to wait to tie up before snorkeling, so we just sat on the boat waiting, and you can’t have any drinks, until after the snorkeling starts. Music on the boat was too loud couldn’t hear what the staff were telling us. All in all would not recommend this specific company for the tour.”
