Getting to St. John

Coming from St. Thomas to St. John is really easy and very convenient, since the ferry runs every hour on the hour between 7 am and 11 pm, and it is only a :20 minute ferry ride. The ferries are very dependable, and we have found many people to change their return time to later because they are having too much fun on St. John! It’s $5.00 per person each way (baggage additional). (this might be going up in the next month or so, due to rising gas prices)

Some St. Thomas visitors bring their rental car over for the day, but the car barges are less dependable than the people ferries; plus many St. Thomas car rental companies don’t allow their cars to go to St. John – if you have car trouble, they have to come to St. John to assist you, and most don’t think that is wise use of their time.
