St. John USVI: Things To Do: US Virgin Islands Travel Vlog - Episode 2

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Jamie from Exploration Skyler details a day trip from St. Thomas to St. John in the US Virgin Islands. The journey begins with a ferry ride from Red Hook to Cruz Bay, where the creators navigate the challenge of securing a last minute rental car due to high demand from cruise passengers. The itinerary focuses on outdoor activities, specifically hiking the Ram Head Trail starting from Salt Pond. The creator describes the diverse terrain and views found along the trail, including the climb toward Ram Head Peak. Following the hike, the group visits Cinnamon Beach, noting that while some facilities remained damaged from a hurricane, the beach remains a beautiful destination. They also take a short hike to Little Cinnamon Beach to enjoy a more secluded environment. The day concludes with an exploration of Mongoose Junction in Cruz Bay, where the creators enjoy local food, drinks, and live music before taking the ferry back to St. Thomas. The video serves as a guide for travelers looking to explore the national park areas of St. John through hiking and beach visits.
