Here are the top five things to do on the island of St. John in the US Virgin Islands that you won't want to miss!
St John is the smallest of the US Virgin Islands. Around 2/3rds of this Caribbean island is a National Park. This means the island is not crowded and is full of amazing adventures. While the island may be small, there are plenty of things to do during a visit.
Thanks so much for watching. If you enjoyed the video make sure to give it a thumbs up, leave us a comment and share it with your friends. If you want to see more content from our channel make sure to subscribe and turn the notifications on.

St. John looks picture perfect - the water and the sand are just so gorgeous. We love snorkeling so that would definitely be on our list of things to do. The sea turtles are so cute, especially how they munch on the sea grass. I have never visited the island but would love to...hopefully soon!

Great video. I'm embarrassed to say I haven't even been to Trunk Bay... don't tell anyone. But, for the budget travelers (or anyone really), you can hike to Honeymoon Beach from the ferry terminal and you don't even need a taxi. It's a great day trip from St. Thomas. We do this often.

We miss the Caribbean so much. We've never been to St. John, but of course have seen plenty about Trunk Bay. Its so cool most of the island is natural and protected like that, we appreciated those parts of Aruba more. Mongoose Junction seemed cool though in its own way too when you need a little bit more people interaction (when that is ok again).

I hope you two get to visit some day to see Trunk Bay and the national park on St. John. Aruba sounds like an island we would enjoy too. We are ready to get back to the Caribbean, but I think it will be awhile before that will be a possibility.
