Per one customer who booked the Night Kayak Tour St. John—Westin Resort, "This kayak trip was awesome! We saw so many fish, one tried to jump into one of the kayaks. It was just enough time to cruise through the bay and see fish. They swam under our kayak and bumped their heads on the bottom of it. Our face paint was an added hit and made it fun!"

St. John tours range in price depending on duration and inclusions. Walking tours and half-day beach excursions start from US$45 per person. At the other end of the price range, you can book private charters for up to US$2,400 per group of up to six passengers.

At the lower end of the price range, the 1.5-hour St. John Ghost Tour of Historic Cruz Bay immerses you in the haunted history of St. John for US$45 per person. Meanwhile, the 2-hour Luxury Half or Full-Day Private Charter from St. Thomas or St. John will set you back at least US$1,700 per group of up to 10 people. That price includes a fuel surcharge, snacks, alcoholic drinks, and snorkeling gear.

Most St. John tours are water-based—as you'd expect on a Caribbean island. Excursions vary by duration and the level of fitness required for participants to take part. You'll find day-long charters focusing on sailing, island hopping, and snorkeling as well as shorter excursions for a couple hours of kayaking or diving. Beach-based activities include Jet Ski rentals and Jeep tours, while further inland, you can enjoy food-focused excursions and ghost tours.

Consider an all-day St. John tour to see and do as much as possible in a short time frame. On the 8-hour Circle the Island of St. John | Lunch stop at Lime Out (Taco Boat) tour, you'll get to snorkel at a shipwreck and coral reef, swim with sea turtles and manta rays, lounge at a beach club, shop at local boutiques, and refuel on a taco boat.

If you’re visiting St. John as part of a larger Caribbean vacation, 2–3 days is plenty. That provides time to explore the island while still having opportunities to lounge on local beaches. If St. John is your only destination, give yourself at least 4–5 days, so you can really relax without feeling rushed. This amount of time also allows for an all-day boat charter and another long day trip.
