Even though St. John doesn’t have the usual tourist attractions, there is still plenty to do. Scuba dive, kayak, windsurf and more! However, we’ll understand if all you want to do is enjoy the sunset, breathe in the fresh air and work on becoming one with nature. Take me to St. John.

St. Thomas is a popular cruise-ship stop, so you know what that means: they really know how to cater to their visitors. In St. Thomas, you'll find the very best in shopping, beaches, watersports and even a world-renowned golf course. Plus, there’s a host of delicious restaurants and lively nightlife options for every different price range. If you want to slow down a bit, head further inland, away from the busy cruise-ship docks and bustling activity. There you’ll find quaint historical sites rich with pirate history as well as nature parks and opportunities to sail, snorkel, hike and more. St. Thomas makes for a great all-in-one vacation destination. It’s all here – you just have to get here! Take me to St. Thomas.
