St John Tours from St Thomas

24 tours · €72–€668 per person · ★ 4.9

St John tours leave from the east end of St Thomas and spend the day inside the national park that covers most of the island: Trunk Bay, Honeymoon Beach and the reefs off Cinnamon Bay. We picked 24 of them by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a night kayak from the Westin from €72 per person; the most expensive are full day boat trips that circle the island with a lunch stop at the floating taco bar.

The ferry to St John is not a tour, and most listings here include the boat from Red Hook or Sapphire, so a taxi to the east end is the only extra. Snorkel tours of the national park follow the no anchor rules, which means mooring balls and a swim to the reef. Night kayaks run after dark on calm nights and are rescheduled in wind. Lunch is included on the long days and extra on the half days. The best reviewed St John tours come first below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take Afternoon Snorkel, Pizza and Sunset for snorkeling by boat; choose Explore St John by private Jeep for beaches on land, with your ferry arranged separately. For example, Afternoon Snorkel, Pizza and Sunset costs €109 per person, rated 4.93 from 1,873 reviews. Explore St John, Beaches and National Park costs €359 per group, rated 5 from 112 reviews.

Allow 5 hours for a typical St John tour, plus travel to its departure point; the middle half of per-person tour prices runs from €116 to €202. The median per-person price is €135. Of 24 tours with stated durations, 11 run over five hours and 6 take up to three hours. All Inclusive St John Boating Adventure, a private option, costs €668 per person, rated 5 from 79 reviews. Boat and group totals are separate from the per-person price band. Some outings start on St John itself, so their listed duration is not the full trip from St Thomas.

For a party of two or four, skip Half Day Private St John Catamaran because you fall below its minimum party size; look at a per-boat charter instead. Per-person medians are €126 shared and €409 private: a spread between different products, not a premium. Half Day Private St John Catamaran is €150 per person, rated 4.99 from 131 reviews. Of 7 private tours, 5 are priced per boat or group, with a median total of €1,086. Divide the boat or group price by your party size.

For a family that wants paddling and snorkeling, choose the Honeymoon Beach kayak and picnic outing. If bringing an infant or stroller, use the filter for tours that accept them. Best of St John Kayak, Snorkel & Picnic to Honeymoon Beach costs per person, rated from reviews. The kids filter checks strollers and infants accepted: 12 of 24 tours meet that condition. Family wording alone does not establish infant or stroller acceptance, age limits or swimming requirements.

Tours marked wheelchair accessible by the operator: none. A private boat is not an access guarantee: Full Day Private St John Yacht Charter requires moderate fitness. Among private tours, none of 7 are marked wheelchair accessible by the operator. Full Day Private St John Yacht Charter costs €1,803 per boat, rated 4.98 from 103 reviews. Filter first, then confirm with the operator. A boat or Jeep format does not prove accessibility, and these labels do not establish boarding arrangements.

Take St John & Surrounding Cays Sail and Snorkel only when your port times fit its sailing schedule; use the private-tour filter if hotel pickup matters. Hotel pickup is listed for 2 of 24 tours, including 2 of 7 private tours; shared tours with hotel pickup: none. St John & Surrounding Cays Sail and Snorkel costs €223 per person, rated 4.93 from 705 reviews. Hotel pickup does not establish collection at Havensight or Crown Bay, or a return timed to your ship.

Budget separately for Lime Out lunch on Circle St John. St John Snorkel from Sapphire & Margaritaville includes breakfast, lunch and snorkel gear, but you bring your towel. For example, Circle St John, Lime Out Lunch Stop costs €318 per person, rated 4.93 from 920 reviews; lunch costs extra. St John Snorkel from Sapphire & Margaritaville costs €150 per person, rated 4.91 from 2,066 reviews; meals, gear and snorkel instruction are included.
