Smile "St.John Trunk Bay Beach & Snorkel" REPORT

"St.John Trunk Bay Beach & Snorkel"

Ships Excursion - 4 1/2 Hours

Ours was from 10:30 AM -- 3:00 PM and every minute was enjoyable!

A nice big tour boat picked us up directly at the ship ... actually, between our ship and another ... just steps away. The 45 minute ride to St.John was lovely as always ... various spots of interest were pointed out along the way. Bottled water, canned Cokes, etc. were sold.

Air-conditioned minibusses were ready and waiting for us when we arrived in St.John. It was a short pretty ride to Trunk Bay (about 15 minutes). We stopped twice briefly for "photo opts".

Trunk Bay was GREAT! White soft sand - "Fish-Bowl" clear calm blue water - Immaculately Clean!

Those who wanted to snorkel were given equipment and directed to the "Underwater Snorkel Trail" ... which we've done before and is quite nice.

This time we headed immediately for the beach. Chairs could be rented but no umbrella was needed -- ample shade. The snorkel trail area looked a bit crowded ... but the beach really was NOT. We were there for two full hours. The snack bar had beer, etc.

The return trip was fun! Everyone on the tour boat was laughing and talking. Also, they now had some very tasty rum punch for sale!

My DH loved this excursion because there was NO waiting for taxis or having to worry about the ferry schedule -- absolutely NO down time whatsoever!

We had a WONDERFUL day!
