Welcome to St. John USVI, Day Tripper!

Welcome to St John USVI for the day!

You’ve found the start of your very special day on St. John! We are here to give you accurate information for your St john day trip, excursions, and generally for folks who are coming over on the St. Thomas ferry or off a cruise ship for a few hours or the whole day. We will include enough info that even week-long island guests will appreciate.

I’ve lived on St. John for many years, and try to stop each time and help visitors with a St. John map open, standing on the corner trying to figure out which way to go or what to do. How many hours do you have? What do you like to do? What is St. John known for? That one is easy – the National Park and its beaches are incomparable! Plus, you don’t have to be an avid hiker to enjoy some of our trails. Just walking around Cruz Bay is an experience! The narrow roads, colorful buildings and stonework…and of course, the beautiful water and mountains! Everything has a slow, laid back feel.

So this site is to help you decide where to go if you have just the day or a few hours to enjoy our little piece of paradise.

I hear of many week-long St John visitors saying that they came back for a longer visit to Love City because of the wonderful time they had on a day trip to St. John. As you will find, there is so much to do on St. John, you’ll want to come back for longer than a day!

There are many different “types of adventure” on St. John – from the hiker/backpacker, to the spa queen, budget traveler to discriminate luxury guest, eco tourist to families and cruise ship passengers.

I can tell you what we DON’T have: Barkers on the street corners hounding you to come in the stores; discos or late night dress up nightclubs; women dripping in jewelry

And since Cruz Bay is so small and parking spaces are very limited, it’s an easy walk from one end to the other. The whole village is less than two football fields long, and most of the shopping and sites are within just a few yards of the Bay.
