Fly to St. Thomas and you can take a ferry to Cruz Bay (or Caneel Bay) from Charlotte Amalie (or Red Hook).
Rent a Jeep or get a taxi. I highly recommend getting on a boat to explore the island as well as the other nearby islands.

St. John has no airport, so - since it is an island - the only way to get there is by boat. The easiest way to do this is to take the ferry from either Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook to Cruz Bay.
RED HOOK, St. Thomas - CRUZ BAY, St. John
Transportation Services
$5 one way, luggage $3 per piece

As you can see, the ride to Charlotte Amalie is longer and more expensive.
We went to St. John on the Red Hook ferry and came back on the Charlotte Amalie ferry
