What you can expect

Depart St. Thomas for a visit to the smallest of the US Virgin Islands, St. John, and take in the history of the island as well as its majestic natural beauty on this half-day tour. See an old Danish sugar plantation, a national park, and various lookouts along the way.

Start by boarding a ferry that takes you across the short 4 miles (6.4 km) of water between St. Thomas and St. John, where your tour bus awaits you. With your local guide, stop first at the Virgin Islands National Park to take in beautiful mountain vistas, impossibly blue water, and verdant coastal greenery. Enjoy the panoramic displays of white-sand beaches meeting mountain forests at your next 2 stops, Caneel Bay and Trunk Bay.

At Annaberg, see the remnants of a 1780s sugar mill plantation. Wonder at the ruins of the factory, windmill, and slave quarters as you learn about the island's Danish settlers. Finish with a drive back to the ferry terminal for your cruise back to St. Thomas.

Pick-up and tour start times must be coordinated with the local supplier and are subject to change due to traffic conditions and the number of groups joining the tour.

Please note that in the US Virgin Islands, it is customary for your taxi driver to also act as your tour guide. This allows you to enjoy a more authentic and informative experience from a local perspective throughout your tour.

After your island tour, you’ll have free time to explore the charming town of Cruz Bay before heading back to St. Thomas. Wander through its unique architectural buildings, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, visit art galleries, or browse the boutiques for one of a kind finds.
