By Tiffany Gill


Visiting the warm and sunny Virgin Islands is like a dream come true. The beaches are a dazzling white, the ocean waters are pristine and warm and guests are guaranteed a great welcome. The people of the islands are some of the most welcoming anywhere in the world. They will arrange for visitors to enjoy any number of St John shore excursions.

Visitors to the island have been thrilled by the beautiful beaches, warm ocean waters and lush vegetation for many years. The population is around 3,500 people, many of whom work in the tourist industry. They offer the typical warm welcome that visitors have come to expect from these islands. The lush tropical landscape is home to more than nine hundred difference species of wildlife. The selection of plants and flowers is also quite astonishing.

Some people opt to rent a Jeep and drive around by themselves. This is also a fun way to enjoy the amazing scenery and views. The island is home to a population of around three thousand five hundred residents. Many of them work in the tourist industry and do a great job taking care of the visitors. They can give recommendations on the best restaurants and directions to the best beaches.

One of the outings that is considered a must by most tour guides is a snorkeling trip. There are a great range of beaches to choose from but the most popular is called Trunk Bay. The sands are a glistening white and the water temperature is around eighty degrees all year round. Snorkeling and scuba diving equipment can be rented from local surf shops and there are many experience professions on hand to help.

Exploring the beaches is really a must on St John. The trade winds provide enough breeze to ward off intense heat. The waters are warm and perfect for swimming. The sand is almost white in many places and the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Many people also try snorkeling and scuba diving with an experienced instructor.

Those looking to spend a day or two on the island will find themselves spoiled for choices. The more energetic folks may want to rent kayaks for either a full or half day of exploration. They can paddle between the bays and beaches, enjoying the warm trade winds and spectacular scenery.

For most people it is also important to leave some time for a little shopping. Despite the size of the island there are still some outstanding shops and art galleries. On the last Saturday of the month, known locally as St John Saturday, there is a wonderful food and craft fair. This is the perfect opportunity for visitors to meet and mingle with the local people and enjoy freshly prepared foods and beverages.

St John shore excursions offer a wonderful variety of things to do and see. Those who enjoy shopping will not be disappointed. There are two main shopping districts withing five minutes of Cruz Bay. They have plenty of art galleries, upmarket boutiques, jewelry stores and studios. Visitors will have more than enough chances to pick up something really special to remind them of this fantastic island.
