Please click on the Hiking Trail links below to find out what a treasure Saint John, U.S. Virgin Islands is when it comes to Hiking!  Most of the trails are located within the Virgin Islands National Park with stunning views along the way unlike anything you’ve ever seen.  Choose a trail that’s right for you:  easy, moderate, or difficult.  One thing is for sure, you will be immersed in the natural wonders of this tropical oasis from history and ruins to the plant and wildlife surrounding you everywhere.  Some visitors need transportation to the many trail heads, so plan ahead for drop off and pick up.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS:  Wear closed toed shoes, reef-safe sunscreen, hat, and bring lots of water (lots).  Do not climb on historic ruins.  Be prepared for sun, bugs, and cactus.

If you are feeling like a dare devil, head straight to the Reef Bay Trail on the South Shore where you’ll hike down to the old Rum Factory ruins and the iconic Petroglyph carvings and waterfall, or take the Francis Bay Nature Trail on the North Shore for a meandering stroll on the Boardwalk along the beach as you will enjoy bird watching, tropical wild flowers, and unique native wildlife.

Many of the hikes are near the beaches, so remember your bathing suit and snorkel gear because there is nothing like jumping in the crystal blue Caribbean waters on or after a hike!
