Planning the Perfect Itinerary for your stay in St. John

Welcome to St. John, a paradise island filled with natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. With St. John Car Rental, you have the freedom to explore this Caribbean gem at your own pace. Here’s a detailed five-day itinerary to help you maximize your visit.

Day 1: Arrival and Relaxation

Upon arriving in St. John, pick up your Jeep or SUV rental from St. John Car Rental and head to your accommodation to settle in. After unpacking, take a leisurely drive to Maho Bay. Enjoy the calm waters and spot some sea turtles swimming nearby. In the evening, dine at a local restaurant in Cruz Bay, such as The Longboard or Morgan’s Mango, to taste some authentic Caribbean cuisine.

Day 2: Beach Day at Trunk Bay

Start your day with a drive to Trunk Bay, one of the most famous beaches in the Caribbean. Arrive early to secure a good spot and snorkel the underwater trail while enjoying the crystal-clear waters. For lunch, have a picnic on the beach and spend the afternoon soaking up the sun or walking along the shoreline. Return to Cruz Bay for a sunset drink at The Beach Bar in the evening.

Day 3: Hiking and History

Drive to the Reef Bay Trailhead in the morning and hike the Reef Bay Trail, exploring the petroglyphs and the Reef Bay Sugar Mill ruins. In the afternoon, visit the Annaberg Sugar Plantation for a glimpse into the island’s history. Relax at your accommodation or explore some nightlife in Cruz Bay in the evening.

Day 4: Water Activities and Boat Tour

Begin your day by driving to Cruz Bay for a half-day boat tour. Explore nearby cays, snorkel in pristine waters, and maybe even see some dolphins. After returning to the main island, have lunch at a beachside café and spend the rest of the afternoon at Hawksnest Bay, another beautiful beach for snorkeling and swimming. In the evening, treat yourself to a fine dining experience at Extra Virgin Bistro.

Day 5: Souvenir Shopping and Departure

Finally, spend time shopping for souvenirs in Cruz Bay on your last morning. Visit local markets and shops for unique finds before enjoying a final lunch at a local favorite spot.
