Explore St. John, Beaches and National Park Private Tour

Explore St. John with a longtime resident! This private tour is conducted in a four-door Jeep Wrangler, so it is limited to four guests. (We do not go off-roading; I simply use a Jeep due to the island's steep roads.) I do not combine groups, so this tour will be tailored specifically for you & your group. We will spend a considerable amount of time in the Virgin Islands National Park where we will sightsee, check out the beaches, historical sites & more. We will take a quick ride over to Coral Bay and will hopefully see some donkeys along the way. There is an opportunity to stop for cocktails at a tiki bar or the popular Windmill Bar, or even a little snack. I can also show you some secret spots where the sea turtles are commonly seen. I have a five-star rating on TripAdvisor & I promise this will be the best day of your vacation! *If you are visiting from St. Thomas, you can take the 830am ferry for the 9am start time, and the noon ferry for the 1230pm start time.*

Private St John Tour including Trunk Bay

The Annaberg Sugar Plantation is a partially restored but the most intact sugar plantation in the Virgin Islands. It keeps the memory of the grueling times in 1717 when slaves were forced to work on the plantation which resulted in a revolt in 1733 that led to the abolishment of slavery. It was discovered and built by Laurence Rockefeller in 1956 while sailing on a family cruise. This luxurious hideaway is accessible only by boat/ferry and its beaches are widely considered to be among the best in the world. Enjoy beach time at Trunk Bay.

Incredible Experience!

My husband and I booked the private full day sail with Max Charters and it was *pure MAGIC*! We were waited on hand and foot all day, got to go to the best snorkeling spots, and heard some really fun stories from our captain and Casey. We had so much fun and felt completely spoiled. If I could give this experience 15 starts, I would! Definitely recommend booking it to anyone coming to the islands!

Terrific captain and first mate made for first class adventure

Our captain, Tim, and first mate, Sharon, made this cruise very special. Although we had done rough weather in the beginning, they found other destinations with less onerous conditions and we had an incredible snorkel adventure. Gracious hosts with great personalities they found the turtles and the manta rays and saved the day! Highly recommend for a first class experience.
