St. John
We will be sailing on the Adventure of the Seas in a few weeks and are
trying to decided between the St. John Eco Hike and St. John Beach Tour shore excursions out of St. Thomas. Would anyone who has taken either of these shore excursions please let me know what you thought of them and if you would take them again. Thank you. Haran Rashes Ann Arbor, MI |

We went on a St. John Beach Tour last January. It was nice, did a little
snorkeling but we were in a large group. If you like to snorkel, you might be better off trying it at another stop. I think if my wife and I had it to do over again we'd choose the Eco Hike - but I really don't think you'll go wrong with either.

I think that the St John's Eco hike is the better choice. Unfortunately, mine was canceled, so I ended up on a St Thomas tour. Snorkeling in Megan's Bay was nice. |

We have done the eco tour twice and loved it. Had the same guide both times
and he was very knowledgeable. "Haran Rashes" wrote in message ...

I have heard that the St. John Beach tour typically is a little
overcrowded. The benefit of the St. John beaches is that they are pristine with that deserted isle feel...until 8 tour busses of flip-flopped tourists arrive. Given the choie having seen the beach while on a tour...Eco Hike. I've tried to work out the details for just going over there on my own to go to one of the more secluded beaches, but I always get a little concerned abouyt making it back to the ship. If you must do beach and want lots of nice surf but amenities to go along with it, catch a cab to the Sapphire Beach resort on St. Thomas. Very few tourists there and the beach has everything you need to a relaxing day in the sun.

Eco hike is no big deal unless you absolutely love walking.It is tropical
woods and downhill - not like Costa Rica or Peru.Fairly routine. Beach thing is OK - sometimes large crowd but you can swmi out by yourselves and get away from the mob. You will likely go to Trunk Bay which is pretty but not a snorkel haven - ok for snorkel but not huge variety of fish, etc. If you want isolation, grab a cab in St. John dock (Cruz Bay) and go to any of the north beaches - you can get cab back any time you want. Meet up with your group when they return and you'll do fine. St. John is small - no reason to get lost or get far behind. Former TA in MN and St. John visitor -- John D. Bradford wrote in message ...
