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.

Great tour - The Tour picked us up at the resort and took us to the ferry boat where we were picked up in a tour bus on the other side. Trunk Bay was great for snorkeling and relaxing on the beach. Plus the tour took us around St John's Island. Worth the price.

Atlanta Girls - This was an amazing experience. Both the driver who transported us to/from.our Hotel and tour guide was great. Kenneth-(tour guide) was extremely informative, patient and very knowledgeable about the history. We had a fabulous time. Make sure and include the Trunk Bay Beach on your tour, you will be so.happy that you did. Pictures can not express the beauty of this beach. This is a MUST DO tour if you are visiting St. THOMAS.

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.

Overpriced - This is a lot of driving and not that much to see. I think a taxi to mountain top and turtle Bay would be advantageous over this tour. Compared to the one we did in St Thomas this one was twice the cost and not as good.

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

Pricey For What You Get - There were 10 of us crammed into an open air space. Didn’t really need to know that kids after the hurricane took the ferry to St Thomas to go to school. Turns out all but elementary kids go to St Thomas any way. Getting off and on was challenging. Driver drove very fast around blind corners. On the positive side, driver was on time and courteous. Time spent at Trunk Bay was the highlight. It would be a good value at the published price, but $125/person seemed high, especially with tipping. Not our best first experience with Viator.

Very disappointed - Driver didn’t seem very into his tour also did not seem to interested in answering questions. We arrived at the beach later and didn’t get the full 2 hours. Felt sorry for people who really wanted to see the beach
