Ferry Ride From Red Hook (St. Thomas) to Cruz Bay (St. John) in US Virgin Islands
Ferry Ride From Red Hook (St. Thomas) to Cruz Bay (St. John) in US Virgin Islands - If you are looking to get an idea how the ferry ride is, this is the video to watch. We'll show you the ferry station, price for the ride and the type of ferry they use.
As we have described in our past videos, it takes almost a whole day to get from continental US to St. John, Virgin Islands. Taking a ferry is part of that journey.
We recommend for you to watch this video:
We basically flew from Houston (using Delta airlines), then stopped in Atlanta (their hub) and then flew to Charlotte Amalie airport in St. Thomas. Luckily, a friend picked us up from airport, so we can stay overnight at their house.
Ordinarily, you would take a cab from the Charlotte Amalie airport to Red Hook (the ferry station in St. Thomas), take the ferry to Cruz Bay on the st. John island and then take a cab or rent a car to get to your hotel/campground.
As you can see, this whole process takes a whole day. We are saying this, so that when planning for your trip, you allot enough time for a full day of traveling. Some people don't realize that it takes a whole day to get there.
The ferry station on the St. Thomas side is called Red Hook and the ferry station in St. John is called Cruz Bay. Note that you will also have to pay per bag that you bring, so just be aware of that especially if you have a tendency to carry many bags when you travel :-)

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.

St John, United States Virgin Islands
Passing the Battery at the entry to Cruz Bay, St. John USVI.
St. John, the smallest & most idyllic of the three United States Virgin Islands, is best known for its perfect white sand beaches, turquoise bays abounding in colorful corals & rainbows of tropical fish & endless vistas of green velvet hills.
Getting around the island is easy. Cruz Bay, the major town where the ferry docks, is on the west end of the island facing Red Hook in St. Thomas. The view from bordeaux mountain, Annaberg Plantation, as of 1780, was one of 25 active sugar producing factories on St. John. Other products produced at Annaberg were molasses and rum. Annaberg translates to Anna's Hill, Trunk Bay ato Cruz Bay and the Fortress.

Taxi Ride & Camping in Cinnamon Bay in St. John, Virgin Islands
Taxi Ride & Cinnamon Bay in St John, Virgin Islands - If you are looking for idea and basic information on how the ferry, the national park visitor information building, taxis and the Cinnamon Bay resort campground in St. John look like and how much they charge, you should watch this.
If you are a first time visitor in St. John Virgin Island like we were and have no clue what to expect, hopefully, this video gives you an idea how the campground and taxis look like, so you can plan better or make a decision if taking the cab or staying in Cinnamon Bay is right for you.
Cinnamon Bay campground (now being renamed Cinnamon Bay Resort and Campground) is the campground inside the US national park.
Also, as mentioned in our previous videos, it takes almost a whole day to get to St. John coming from continental US. Taking the cab is just a small part of this process.
We basically flew from Houston (using Delta airlines), then stopped in Atlanta (their hub) and then flew to Charlotte Amalie airport in St. Thomas. Luckily, a friend picked us up from airport, so we can stay overnight at their house.
Ordinarily, you would take a cab from the Charlotte Amalie airport to Red Hook (the ferry station in St. Thomas), take the ferry to Cruz Bay on the st. John island and then take a cab or rent a car to get to your hotel/campground.
As you can see, this whole process takes a whole day. We are saying this, so that when planning for your trip, you allot enough time for a full day of traveling. Some people don't realize that it takes a whole day to get there.
Plus, it's fun to watch this video :-). You can follow us to our journey of visiting all 59 US national parks. The US Virgin Islands is our first park! 58 to go! :-)
If you have any questions, feel free to comment down below and we will try to answer them for you (if we know the answer!). Good luck and enjoy the video!
