You Must Visit Trunk Bay US Virgin Islands National Park - St. John USVI : Ep.15
In this video I explore The U.S. Virgin Islands on my Princess Cruises Stop in St. Thomas. The original plan was to take a shuttle to Magen's Bay on the north side of St. Thomas but after over hearing a group mention that they heading to St. John to visit a place called Trunk Bay, I changed my plans.
One of the great things about the USVIs is that you have excellent cell coverage since you are in a US territory. It was easy to look up pictures of Trunk Bay before I committed to the trip. For those that plan to venture to St. John from St. Thomas you will want to take a ferry from Redhook to Cruz Bay. Round trip tickets will cost you about $18.00 USD. Upon arriving at Cruz Bay you will find several Safari-style taxi trucks that will get you to your Beach destination of choice. For around $10-$20 you can enjoy an open-air ride along the coast. Be sure to have your camera out as the views are awesome. After about 1.5 hours of travel from the cruise ship we finally arrived at the US Virgin Islands National Park. As we exited the safari truck I could tell this was a good choice. The park has lots of tropical plants and palm trees complete with a snorkel gear rental shop right at the entrance.
Don't be surprised if the first sight of the beach takes your breath away. This place is majestic... A true paradise. I was seriously in awe of the natural beauty and I couldn't wait to get in the water. This may sound lame but the warmth and natural beauty of this beach is almost spiritual. For any corporate 9-5'ers that grind away their lives in a stuffy office building, this place just really sets your soul free.
Once I entered the turquoise water I knew I was in for a great snorkel session. For the more experienced swimmers I highly recommend you swim about 200 yards around the bend to the right and explore the less populated reef by the cliff. There was no other swimmers over on that side, just pristine untouched reef with a huge variety of fish. I was in heaven. At one
point I just rested on the surface of the water looking down at the virgin untouched reef and I had to pinch myself. It was so surreal. The ocean was speaking to me and it was saying, Tyler, you need to leave those cold rocky mountains and come live close to me! LOL! I have not quite been able to make this happen but I'm working on it.
After a return to the beach I made the trek back to the cruise ship and arrived 5 minutes before departure. So glad I made it back. I hope to visit again soon. I really enjoyed my time in the USVIs.
I can not recommend this place enough. It was such a wonderful place to discover.

A Salty Passion: Hi! We are Ryan (RumShopRyan) and Crystal (Castaway Crystal), we document, photograph, and film the best the Caribbean has to offer. Whether it’s stunning beaches, relaxing hotels, friendly restaurants, or soggy beach bars…we want to share it and inspire others to explore the islands.
MEET US!
Who Is RumShopRyan:
Howdy! I’m Ryan and I hail from the land-locked, can’t get any further from the ocean, state of Kansas. I moved to laid back southwest Florida in 2001. I didn’t know a single person and didn’t have a job. Risky I know, but the ocean was calling and I had to answer.
I’m a huge fan of Kansas City sports, so you’ll probably see a lot of Jayhawks, Chiefs and Royals attire in my photos. Kansas City is a great town and I’m glad I’m from there, but the coastal life was calling. It’s kind of like Kenny Chesney’s “island boy” song. Check out the lyrics and you’ll see what I mean.
I write because I’m passionate about the Caribbean and the island lifestyle, and it’s my way to share it with you. If it has anything to do with the Caribbean, rum drinks, beach style music, or Caribbean culture, you’ll be able to find it on this site.
When in the Caribbean you’ll find a camera around my neck and note pad in my pocket. This is how I document the experiences in unique and interesting ways and bring it back to you, the Castaways.
Who is Castaway Crystal:
I was raised in Southwest Florida so it’s no surprise that I have a love for beaches, water and nature. As a child, most weekends were spent fishing in the warm gulf waters on the family boat. As an adult, most weekends are spent soaking up the sun on Ft. Myers Beach. Even though I have always loved the coastal life, I don’t think I fully appreciated it until I moved to Nashville, TN. I’m all about experiencing new things, and as a Licensed Massage Therapist I thought it would be amazing to massage some of Nashville’s biggest stars (a girl can dream right?). But I missed the sun and sand too much—and let’s not forget the rum runners! After a year I couldn’t take it anymore, this sun bunny moved back to her coast of somewhere beautiful.
I’ve always been passionate about photography and writing but my passions never really had a purpose until I met Ryan. I couldn’t be happier being Ryan’s first mate and sharing my photos and stories with you. May they inspire you to go after your tropical dreams and wishes. Make a plan…Set a date…Just go!

Plan a day trip to St John in the US Virgin Islands to hike in the national park and relax on amazing beaches!
St John is the smallest of the US Virgin Islands. Over half of this tiny island is a National Park. This means the island is not crowded and full of amazing adventures.

We witnessed more damage from the hurricane on St John compared to St Thomas. But most of the island was ready for tourists to return. Don't let this impact your decision of traveling to the US Virgin Islands too much - we fully enjoyed our trip and would love to go back. The island is still beautiful as you can tell from our footage. Highlights include:
- Ferry from St Thomas to St John: 38
- Salt Pond: 2:10
