Ready for a Day of Hiking? Check out our sister Island - St. John. A quick 20 minute ferry ride away - you can take the people ferry or take the car barge!

Some popular hiking spots on St. John in the US Virgin Islands include:

Reef Bay Trail: a challenging hike with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the rainforest. Danish sugar plantation ruins, stone walls from cattle grazing, and ancient rock carvings left behind by the pre-Colombian Taino can be found along the trail. During rainy season the waterfall can be spectacular.

Cinnamon Bay Nature Trail: a short, easy hike through a lush tropical forest. Cinnamon Bay Plantation was established in 1717 and was one of the earliest and most prosperous sugar plantations on the Island. In 1903, the Danish West India Plantation Company bought Cinnamon Bay and began growing bay rum trees to produce bay leaf oil, which was used in popular colognes and lotions known as St. John Bay Rum.

Ram Head Trail: a strenuous hike that offers panoramic views of the southern coast of St. John.

Mary Point Nature Trail/Francis Bay Trail: a moderate hike through the lush tropical forest to a beautiful beach. Francis Bay Trail starts at the Francis Bay Sugar Factory. It continues past the Mary's Point Estate house and around a salt pond. The dry tropical forest and salt pond provide an excellent opportunity to view birds. The lower portion of the trail is an accessible boardwalk that continues through the mangroves to the two viewing platforms.

All of these trails offer unique and stunning views of the island's natural beauty, making St. John a great destination for hiking enthusiasts.
