Creator's Key Takeaways

we have a 12-hour report day today and trying to make it to Saint John yes we've been wanting to do that forever but the timing just never worked out

this is a record-breaking day for the single highest number of different Turtles seen at one location absolutely for us

I would go back tomorrow and explore the town because I mean the park right there at Cruise Bay looked fun

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Allow 20-30 minutes for the taxi ride from the cruise port to Red Hook ferry terminal
โœ“Buy ferry tickets online in advance to skip the line
โœ“Bring water shoes for Maho Bay, but know that the sandy areas are comfortable barefoot
โœ“If snorkeling at Trunk Bay is closed due to surf, head to Maho Bay for guaranteed turtles
โœ“Have a 12-hour port day for this DIY excursion to feel comfortable with timing

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Making it back to the ship on time โ€” Do this excursion only on a long port day (12 hours) to allow buffer time for delays
Navigating multiple transportation modes โ€” The process requires a taxi, ferry, and another taxi, but all are readily available and easy to navigate
