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.
