Things to do
Great Cruz Bay's jungle trails
From your Great Cruz Bay vacation rental, you can hire a jeep to explore St John's rugged interior. Two thirds of the island is given over to the thickly forested hillsides of the Virgin Islands National Park. Great Cruz Bay is home to the Park's visitor center. Here, you'll be able to find out about the 20 trails around the Park. Some local tour companies offer guided hikes to explore St John's tropical forest. The visitor center can provide you with maps and leaflets detailing the island's historic sights, including sugar mill ruins and petroglyphs. These incredible rock carvings are another fascinating reason to explore the Park's trails.
Activities
Charter a boat in Great Cruz Bay
From your Great Cruz Bay vacation rental, pick up a sightseeing charter from Great Cruz Bay harbor then set sail to explore some of the secluded coves and beaches around St John. Dive into the crystal-clear turquoise waters and, if you're lucky, you'll be swimming alongside turtles and spotted eagle rays. A charter is also a great way to explore some of the other destinations in this Caribbean island chain; Charlotte Amalie is the place to head for the best of the USVI's duty-free shopping. Or some boat charters offer specialized angling excursions so you can try your hand at sport fishing for marlin, mahi-mahi and tuna.
Weather
Great Cruz Bay through the seasons
You can be assured of sunny days and warm temperatures hovering in the 70s and 80s whatever season you visit the US Virgin Islands, but the months of September through November can be wet as well. Peak season for Great Cruz Bay vacation rentals runs during the driest months of December through March but, on the idyllic island of St John, peak season never feels like peak season. With a national park covering two thirds of the island and the island accessible only by ferry or boat, you can always find a quiet and tranquil spot to sit back, relax and soak up some sunshine.
Natural features
Forests and Reefs near Great Cruz Bay
The Virgin Islands National Park is home to diverse hiking trails. Some of the beaches of the island, such as Salomon Bay, are only accessible by boat or by hiking trail so keen hikers can be rewarded with quiet empty sands at the mid-point of their trek. The area around Salomon Bay and neighboring Honeymoon Bay offers some of the finest snorkeling on St John's north shore. The reef is visible above the surface during extreme low tides so care should be taken when exploring this colorful coral landscape. Kayaking is another popular way to explore the coastline.
