Honeymooned there in 1990. We went camping at Maho Bay Resort,I think it was called that. Friends suggested filling a large plastic cooler with non- perishable food items to bring with us. We brought one along with our suitcases. We stayed in a canvas sided wooden Tree House. It had electricity and a propane portable cook stove. I fed a bird right out of my hand while on the deck. We dumped our bacon grease on the ground and watched the hermit crabs gobble it up. The beach was fantastic and incredible snorkeling. We saw sea turtles, sting rays,barracuda and many colorful fish. I'm sure it's not as pristine today as it was then,but being mostly a designated national park,it won't be over developed. The wild donkeys,deer and even peacocks were a treat to see. I'm sorry to hear about the hurricane damage.

No one comes away from St John thinning raw. Chill. Classy. Quiet. That's St John. Raw is Alabama-no chill no class. St John's is vacation. Beaches. Drinks.. nature. Snorkeling. Family time.... Water. Sky. Sand trees.

As someone who has sailed the US and British VI since 1973 and been on KZbin right from the start (I remember being in Amsterdam in July of 2005 in a particular coffeeshop that had free computers and internet looking at KZbin) this is the first video of the East end of St. John, particularly Coral Bay, that I have seen. Thank you. BTW Hawksnest used to be very hard to get to, it used to be a beach you could take someone for privacy. Both places I have not spent time at really, despite living on STT 1981 to 1990. Oh, and Lam-Ah-Sure,

Haven't taken the car barge in a while, it used to be $50. We did that for the first ten years or so that we vacationed on STJ. I do like that on St. John you can rent a smaller jeep, so much easier to park! So now we do the taxi to Crowne Bay and then the ferry from there. Surprised you didn't show the snorkeling at Maho - I have some great turtle videos from there last year, also a few sharks and stingrays. We saw a spotted Eagle Ray at Salt Pond Bay. Thanks for this video - heading over in a month!

Last weekend we went to St John, Lazarus and Kusu Islands in Singapore. There are no places to buy food so you can carry your own food. For your vacation, you can visit these amazing islands and spend the whole day also can do sea bathing, barbequing and reading a book while taking a long breath of nature. These islands are immaculate and beautiful. So please bring your trash back home or put it in dustbins only. You have to go to Marina South Pier to take the Ferry (There are 2 Ferry services) Ticket for Ferrie - 10$ pp as of 31/12/2022 MRT - Red Line (Marina South Pier)

Here now for 3rd trip in this past year! Love St John!! It's very rustic with lots of hiking & snorkling. Some of my favorite hike and snorkle location (depending on wind direction that day) is: 1)Hike to Ram Head early morning, stop by Salt Pond Bay Beach on the way to Ram Head and claim a picnic table in the shade, then hike to the end of the trail for a beautiful cliff view then back to snorkel in Salt Pond Bay out to the rock formation in the middle. Also, a short hike off of the trail is Drunk Bay where people make rock formation/rock art. 2)Waterlemon Cay!! Park at Annaberg windmill ruin and walk across the street to the entry of the hike to Leinster Bay off to the right. Walk around the bay and swim across to Waterlemon Cay. Current can be a little strong but beautiful fish out there. There is a small trail at the beach area that goes up to a pretty ruin that overlooks the bay. On way back to your car swim right there as you reach the entry point and off to the left called Mary's Creek....beautiful sea fans and lots of fish. 3)Cinnamon Bay Beach. We park at Cinnamon and walk across the street to the ruins then hike up the trail. Take the short spur trail off of it to American Hill where there is a beautiful ruin overlook and then back down and you can hang out on Cinnamon all day and snorkel off to the right along the rocky shore. One of the prettiest and has restroom/shower facilities until 4pm 4)Reef Bay Trail down to the petroglyphs/old Rum Factory on the beach. BEAUTIFUL ruin and a hike in the shade. Quite an incline back up the trail to the road, but take it slow and bring water. 5)Mangrove snorkeling @ Princess Bay. Right now the water is pretty churned up but this was the one spot protected (I guess from the wind/rain wash) that was clear this trip. It was AMAZING!!

That old plantation I'm guessing, doesn't have a house. I didn't see one in the video. I heard that on St. John, when the slaves revolted, they killed all the landowners. Some landowners did get away in St. Croix. The story is kinda you know, IDk. Anyways, there's no house on that mountain top. Cuz the slaves burnt it to the ground. I only lived in the USVI for a few years, I'm certainly not indigenous. Probably, if you asked a historian, you could definitely get the real scoop. My favorite plantation ground is on a mountain top in St. Croix. The main house is still there, along with many of the out buildings. A dungeon, a lot of the factory is still standing. The dungeon has a bat cave, and the smoke stack has bats in it, too. Awesome place to explore. For the average tourist, you'd have to find a state employee or a state park ranger. But I was living there, both times I was there 3 to 4 months at a time. ??? It's a drug and alcohol rehab. The only other I think is in Anguilla, but it's expensive. I absolutely LOVED!! to dig for relics in the dirt there, loved it.

The video was very informative and well done. However, after several trips to Hawaii from California years ago, I find the USVI to be scrubby and uninviting despite some lovely beaches. Florida has a lot to offer. For people who haven't seen what Florida has to offer, I would say consider a Florida vacation on Anna Maria Island or Anastasia Island before doing the USVI.
