Help Plan The Trip With A St John USVI Travel Guide

By Kathrine Franks


Everyone wants to go on a wonderful sun and sand holiday to St. John. With a St John USVI Travel Guide, you will know just what to do when you get there. It will help you plan a memorable trip full of outdoor fun and ocean sports. No wonder the island is a popular vacation spot for Americans and visitors from around the world. Whether they want a vacation or are on a honeymoon, lovely St. John will fill the bill.

Travelers from around the world make St. John their destination, whether for a honeymoon or just a relaxing beach jaunt. It is valuable to note that peak season occurs from mid-December to the end of April. It is the busy season and as a result is the most crowded time on the island. Since it is winter is most parts of the world, people want to get away from sleet and snow. They welcome the sun and sparkling blue water. The climate is temperate if not warm, and it doesn't rain until later in the year.

Most people go, understandably, during peak season when it is winter back home - a time of snow and sleet. This falls between mid-December until the end of April. Tropical islands are warm and inviting at this time of year. It doesn't get cold and it is therefore a true escape.

Then there is the true off-season which is made up of the wet months of August, September, and October. If you hate rain, you must wait for early November. Also note that the hurricane season comes at this time between late summer and early fall.

It pays to know a bit about entry requirements before you take off for sun and sand. Visitors from the US do not need passports and they can fly direct or by connection through San Juan, Puerto Rico. The direct routes come from Miami, Detroit, Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and Washington DC. You land in either St. Thomas or St. Croix and then you can take the picturesque ferry to the area, which does not have its own airport.

Upon arrival, guests will enjoy a ferry boat ride to this area, as it has no local airport. This ferry can take them around the region including the British Virgin Islands. It is great fun and a solid tourist attraction. It has an ample schedule which is updated often. Listings appear in local magazines such as the St. Thomas/St. John This Week, which tourists can find at no charge around the area. Visitors also should not miss the lovely Virgin Islands National Park on St. John.

Vaccinations may be in order before you leave for this area of the US Virgin Islands, so be sure to check out the immunization requirements. A quick perusal of the island's official website will help you prepare in advance. They are routine and should not be of great concern.

Heading to St. John means a wonderful vacation ahead. The guide will enhance your holiday and make sure you see and experience the local culture. You do not have to worry too much about safety, but it is not recommended to stroll alone late at night. Keeping vigilant will prevent problems and help you enjoy your stay.
