3 things to do in St. John during your Caribbean cruise

If you are taking a Caribbean cruise that stops in beautiful St. John, Virgin Islands, you will have a plethora of activities demanding your attention. Visitors who have never visited this part of the world before can often feel a little overwhelmed, as they might not be aware of the best ways to occupy their time.

With cruises, there is generally a limited amount of time that you can spend in each stop, so you want to make sure that the maximum amount of time is being used well, instead of losing precious minutes or even hours deciding what to do. Luckily, this blog is here to help!

Here are a few sites to check out in St. John:

Cruz Bay: This is the central town on the island, and it is filled with tons for any tourist to do! From shops and restaurants to local bars, you can immerse yourself in the town for hours upon hours. All ferries and boats come into this town, so it should be your first stop. The walkability alone makes this place a dream.
