In a nutshell
Great for snorkeling, hanging out on the beach, hiking.
sr2605 Says: We took the 3-hour Adventurer Tour with Hidden Reef Eco-tours and it was just awesome!! Snorkeling in Saint John is always wonderful, but we are beginners and having a guide was very helpful. we went by kayak to a perfect snorkeling spot and then we jumped into the water....
Ride the Open Bus Tour at St John!
jumpingnorman Says: This 15-kilometer island (the size of Manhattan?) of St John in the US Virgin Islands can be efficiently toured using the open-sided safari-style bus tours.They drive you around the city and then into this botanical paradise where the driver will point out certain plants and...
Catch a rainbow at the beach and swim!
jumpingnorman Says: There are several beaches where one can swim in St John. We liked the beach we were in (I think it was Trunk Bay ) - because the water was so blue and there was even a RAINBOW landing on the waters! We did not have our swimming stuff with us, so we just bought everything at...
Sweet Views at Annaberg Sugar Mill!
jumpingnorman Says: The Annaberg Sugar Mill was part of the open bus tour which we took at St. John’s Island with our then 2-year old twins. Anna was supposedly the name of the baby daughter of one of the owners of this 18th-19th century ruins (first established in 1718). If you walk up the...
swkat Says: I especially enjoyed the day trip we took on board a catamaran. We stopped at several spots to snorkel then made two stops in the British Virgin Islands...one for lunch at Foxy's the other at White Bay for the Soggy Dollar Bar (there's no dock, you must swim in to shore,...
eight_08 Says: Go see the beaches! They are the most beautiful in the world. Rent a jeep or catch a cab in Cruz Bay and set off, map in hand, to explore the island. Hawksnest Beach is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, especially in the morning. The sun hits the clear water...

vanderlust Says: Budget Dining on St. John;Food and provisions can be a big expense on St. John especially if dining out. There are a few grocery stores on St. John, Starfish Market is my favorite because of selection. There is also Dolphin Market and Pine Peace Market. All three of these...
Miss Lucy's: Delicious caribbean food
sr2605 Says: Waterside dining with delicious food and drink! We had paella and tuna for dinner and everything was great. The atmosphere is relaxed and staff very friendly. Definitely to recommend!
Windy Level: Don't Miss The Fresh Local Food
hillcreststjohn Says: The food is fresh and dellicious. Windy Level opened in September of 2007. Menu changes every day. It's breezy and comfortable place to dine. I enjoyed several dishes of Ms. Carryn Powell who is the owner and chef. I had conch, stew chicken and local fish dish and enjoyed...
Sweet Plantains: Best food on the rock!
stjbigfish Says: Located in Coral Bay, this is my favorite restaurant on island. Offering East Indian and West Indian Cuisine. Chef Rose and her husband Prince are fantastic and the food is beyond delicious. My recommendations: Spicy Crab spread on Tostones and West Indian Chicken Curry!
Deli Grotto: Best place we found on the island
rickwiedmaier Says: You will find the Deli Grotto in the Mongoose Junction shopping center. We had lunch there, it was very good and affordable, unlike most places on the island. We had sandwiches, some excellent seafood salad, potato salad, a mango smoothie, and fro dessert, OH MY GOD, the...
vanderlust Says: Budget transportation on St. Thomas & St. John;http://tourism.virginislandsdailynews.com/taxis.html Taxi and public bus rates are listed at the above website. Vitran buses are not the most reliable mode of transport. They have taken term island time to new levels ;)....
eight_08 Says: Rent a jeep and tool around. It's a great way to get to the more remote beaches. Also consider hiking to your beaches via the trails in the national park.
sobowow Says: Unless you're in a resort or a public restroom, the water that feeds the toilet probably comes from rainwater. If you use all that water up then people won't be able to take showers. Take your showers by first wetting your body, then turning off the water and lathering up....
islandyfun Says: One of the nicest customs -and virtually mandatory if you want to get an answer from an islander - in the Virgin Islands is to initially start any and all conversations with "Good (Morning, Afternoon, Evening), how are you?" and then give them a moment to respond. THEN you...
welbourn3 Says: There is a tree that usually grows near the shore, and it has branches that are low lying and spread out. There is a fruit that grows on this tree that in the early stages looks like a crab apple to me, but others have said it looks plum-like when very ripe. I am writing...
eight_08 Says: Watch for the herds of wild donkeys crossing the roads, especially if you are driving. Also, drive on the left like the locals do!
eight_08 Says: The whole island is off the beaten path. It's one of those places you go to truely escape, see nature and enjoy the peace and quiet. 3/4 of the island is national park so it is preserved from commercialism and development. The difference between St. John and St. Thomas is...
Small History of St John British Virgin Islands
jumpingnorman Says: Here is a small part of the history of St. John, to better understand the nature of the islands...On November 23, 1733 slaves carrying bundles of wood were let into the fort at Coral Bay. Concealed in the wood were cane knives, which the rebels used to kill the half-asleep...
aeleland Says: Hi,St. John does not have to be expensive. You can find a small room to rent, or camp at the campground. Food is expensive in the grocery stores, but if you plan well and have a place to cook, you will be ok. Getting around the island is easy, you can hitchhike to north...

Jumping Around St John in the Caribbean!
I was looking for a place to bring our two-year old twins - somewhere with a pristine beach and so my wife and I thought the Caribbean might be a good location... St John has no airport. To travel...
