The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Snorkel the world-famous underwater trail at Trunk Bay, consistently ranked among the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches. Submerged plaques guide you through a living coral garden — bucket-list snorkeling inside a UNESCO-caliber National Park.
Escape the crowds on an exclusive private catamaran charter from Cruz Bay, anchoring at hidden coves — Honeymoon Beach, Waterlemon Cay, or Christmas Cove — for world-class snorkeling, swimming, and iced rum punches on deck.
Hike St. John's legendary Reef Bay Trail through ancient rainforest to pre-Columbian Taino petroglyphs, a haunting sugar mill ruin, and a freshwater pool — one of the most historically rich and scenically dramatic hikes in the entire Caribbean.
Snorkel wild with resident green sea turtles at Maho Bay, rated the #1 attraction on St. John — where calm, shallow waters make encounters with these majestic creatures almost guaranteed and absolutely unforgettable.
Explore all of St. John's dramatic landscapes — sweeping ocean overlooks, hidden beaches, plantation ruins, and colorful Cruz Bay — in a private open-air Jeep with a local guide who knows every secret viewpoint and story on the island.
Step inside one of the best-preserved 18th-century sugar plantation complexes in the Caribbean — the haunting Annaberg Ruins on St. John's north shore — on an intimate, expert-guided cultural walk through the island's complex colonial and African heritage.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
