St. John is the smallest, and least commercialized of the United States Virgin Islands. The island boasts picture perfect sandy beaches surrounded by stunning turquoise seas with endless supplies of brightly colored corals and tropical fish. The absence of high rise condos and overcrowded resorts makes the island seem like an idyllic piece of paradise for many who take the time to book a private jet charter to St. John.

More than 60 percent of St. John’s land mass has been set aside as the Virgin Islands National Park. This means the land here will remain unspoiled for generations to come with the plan and wildlife relatively unchanged during that time. Many of the island’s coral reefs are protected by being within the barriers of the Virgin Islands National Park. Further protection was granted in 2001 with the creation of the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument.

Most of the homes and resorts on St. John are located near Cruz Bay or Coral Bay where shops, grocers, restaurants, and other services are located. Aside from the natural park and beaches you will find a nice variety of activities to enjoy including walking around Cruz Bay, visiting art studios and galleries, exploring local cuisine, enjoying local musicians, and reading up on the island’s rich and vibrant history.

Travelers interested in ecotourism will especially have much to appreciate about their adventures to St. John where they can go hiking for miles, enjoy beautiful long beaches, or go snorkeling in the waters to explore the rich and vibrant world below the water’s surface.

Travel to the island is relatively easy thanks to the ferry that is a 20-minute ride from St. Thomas. You can choose to take advantage of other options for making the trip to St. John by using a water taxi or chartering a boat to take you there.

There is no airport on St. John though. The only way to travel there is by the water. There is one other option to continue with the island’s lone seaplane base, located in Cruz Bay. There is no scheduled service however, so even seaplane trips to the island must be chartered.
