Snorkeling in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
St. John's shallow-water reefs make ideal snorkeling conditions (Corel)


St. John Snorkeling Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Pay up at Trunk Bay—underwater trails stretching 650 feet are fantastic for snorkeling, but cost a few bucks.
  • Ease into the waters at Cinnamon Bay, Honeymoon Bay, Gibney Beach, and Watermelon Cay.
  • Get your money's worth: three-hour snorkeling tours including gear begin at US$40 per person.

St. John Overview

A few miles east of St. Thomas, across a glistening turquoise channel known as Pillsbury Sound, lies St. John, the smallest and least densely populated of the three main U.S. Virgin Islands.
