Welcome to St John in the U.S. Virgin Islands 🤗 Today we’re taking a day trip to St John in the US Virgin Islands (USVIs) from St Thomas! If you’re visiting St Thomas and wondering whether a day trip to St John is worth it, this is exactly what to expect — from ferries and taxis to some of the most beautiful beaches in St John.
We start the day by taking the passenger ferry from Red Hook (St Thomas) to Cruz Bay (St John), one of the easiest and most popular ways to visit St John for the day. Once we arrive in Cruz Bay, we explore the town, walk along the beach in town, and check out the local market scene before stopping for a true local Virgin Islands snack — a pate (a delicious Caribbean hand pie) at Hercules Pate Delight.
Before heading out to the beaches, we also share a few important tips for planning a St John day trip, including why you should always check the cruise ship schedule and how to decide whether to take the car ferry or passenger ferry when visiting St John.
From Cruz Bay we grab a taxi and head to one of the most famous beaches in St John — Maho Bay Beach, known for its calm water, sea turtles, and incredible scenery inside Virgin Islands National Park. After spending some time relaxing at Maho Bay, we hop in another taxi to visit Cinnamon Bay Beach, another stunning beach in St John with a bit more surf but equally beautiful views.
Before catching the ferry back to St Thomas, we finish the day with a well-earned local craft beer at St John Brewers Tap Room in Cruz Bay.
If you’re planning a day trip to St John, looking for the best beaches in St John USVI, or wondering how to get around the island for a day, this video will help you plan the perfect visit.
