YouTube Video Description

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. This vlog includes footage from a day trip exploring St John in the US Virgin Islands. We spent time on a beautiful beach, hiked on the island and checked out Mongoose Junction. 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: - Intro: 00:00 - Ferry from St Thomas to St John: 00:38 - Salt Pond: 2:10 - Ram Head Trail 2:53 - Ram Head Peak 4:34 - Maho Bay 7:10 - Cinnamon Beach 7:22 - Little Cinnamon Beach: 7:54 - Trunk Bay: 8:56 - Mongoose Junction, Cruz Bay: 9:30 *Ignore the timestamp in some of the videos.
