The island of St John in the USVI is known as a boaters' haven, and as a place where people can get off the grid for a week without having to travel for days. From the quaint harbor town of Cruz Bay, to the beaches of the National Park along the north shore, to the relaxed back water vibe of Coral Bay on the eastern end of the island, the best St John activities revolve around natural wonders. Your WIMCO Villa Specialist can recommend things to do in St John, and then make the reservations for you.
