Creator's Key Takeaways

I first visited this place in 2014 and now every time I go back to st. Thomas except once because it was closed for the hurricane I've been going back to st. John often

getting to st. John is pretty easy and definitely worth a trip

the ride to the Red Hook ferry terminal is approximately $10 per person each way and it takes about 20 minutes to get to the ferry terminal

the actual ferry ride itself from Red Hook to st. John is 20 minutes

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring plenty of sunscreen and carry cash on the island
Arrive at the ferry terminal about 20 to 30 minutes prior to departure each way
Get to the beach early when the cruise ship guests arrive to avoid crowds
Give yourself about two hours of wiggle room before the ship leaves when returning
