St. John Island Tour and Beach Escapes the Crowd - This ended up being a small group tour of 7 total. Our driver met us at the cruise port promptly and got us to the ferry on time. Get your ferry tickets in advance, the tour company will send you the link and the time to book. We made it with 5 minutes to spare because of a slow truck in front of us, it's a bit of a drive. After the enjoyable ferry ride, our next driver, Kenneth, greeted us and gave us an informative island tour in his open air vehicle. Fun experience on the hilly roads, we enjoyed the beautiful viewpoints and learning about the Annaberg Sugarcane Plantation with its vile history told on many signboards. The highlight was swimming and snorkeling at beautiful, uncrowded Trunk Bay Beach.

So Amazing 🤩 - From picking us up at our hotel to the return to our hotel was absolutely amazing 🤩. The drivers were very knowledgeable and shared so much interesting history of St Thomas and St John! I would do it again and again!

Beautiful beaches - On time and pleasant. Beaches were beautiful. Minimal time at lookouts. Trunk beach was beautiful. No life guards or anyone to assist you with the snorkeling . Staff renting equipment were very nice. Bring your own towels since they are not available to rent.

St John’s Visit - While the tour guide was very knowledgeable, the speaker in the vehicle was old and therefore his words were muffled and couldn’t be understood. I thought it would have been more of a tour but instead few stops and self-directed. Would have been similar to renting a taxi and being asked to be dropped off at Trunk Beach. It was advertised as a 5 hour tour but dropped back at the pier after 4 hours. As such…fairly costly.

Not much time at beach... - Not much time at beach because our cruise ship docked at later time causing us to catch later ferry. There are cheaper ways to get to Trunk Bay if that is your end goal.

Busy ride - You need to let people know that although you stop they are very short stops he is very knowledgeable of the island but I felt that he just wanted to rush to get back to the starting point my main reason for going was to get my national park stamp which I had to get on my own

First. Viator disappointment - In my booking, it says that drinks and food were included… that meant we could purchase them at the snack bar at trunk Bay… we left late due to late arrivals. We basically got a one hour tour, then dropped off at Trunk Bay for two hours on our own, then picked up and returned to Cruz Bay.

Left behind due to 10 min delay in reaching the starting point due to hold up on ship - Advised driver that was having difficulty getting off ship - phoned multiple times but only answered twice once after he had. Already departed. Made no attempt to return my call- very disappointing Eric Moody
