The Allure OF ST. JOHN USVIDiscover the Natural Beauty & Cultural Highlights of St. John

In addition to ample on-site opportunities for a fun and relaxing Saint Thomas vacation, Secret Harbour offers convenient access to St. Thomas' sister island of St John USVI. Ferries depart from Red Hook (five minutes from the resort). Our knowledgeable concierge team is available to help guide your Virgin Island explorations, including suggested itineraries, schedules for the ferry to St. John and transportation options.

PASSENGER FERRY TO THE US VIRGIN ISLAND OF ST. JOHN 

Guests wishing to explore the neighboring island of St. John can hop on the ferry (see link to schedule above) from Red Hook located just one mile from the resort ($5 each way), and reach Cruz Bay on St. John in approximately 20 minutes. Home to the Virgin Islands National Park, which makes up two thirds of the island, visitors to St. John can enjoy a jeep safari, go for a hike, visit the island's specialty shops, or simply enjoy the world-renowned beaches of Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay and Salt Pond Bay.

THE ANNABERG RUINS

In its heyday, the Annaberg Plantation produced sugar, molasses and rum. Now, if you swing by this ruined (but partially restored) plantation and mill, you can learn about sugar production in the 18th and 19th centuries. And depending on the day, participate in a demonstration on basket weaving or bread baking. Down the hill from Annaberg is Leinster Bay, a perfect spot for some impromptu beachcombing.

The Annaberg Historic District, which includes the plantation, is run by the Virgin Islands National Park service. The Cruz Bay Visitor Center is open from 8 am to 4:30 pm, and rangers lead tours throughout the day.

TRUNK BAY & VIRGIN ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK

Trunk Bay is considered one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Known for its soft white sands and aquamarine waters, Trunk Bay is protected by the Virgin Islands National Park and features the Underwater Trail, a snorkeling path of coral and fish with underwater plaques that guide you along the way. Trunk Bay's water is calm enough for even young or inexperienced snorkelers. Admission to Trunk Bay is $4 per person and the park closes every day at 4 pm.
