Virgin Islands Ecotours | Enjoy USVI Tours: Kayak, Hike & Snorkel

We’ll be honest – sometimes taking taxis in the USVI can be frustrating and confusing. For those new to the territory, rates and policies can seem unclear.

The US Virgin Islands Taxicab Commission seeks to provide better transparency regarding their rates and services. To help you in planning your trip in regards to budgeting and transportation logistics, we wanted to share their updated official rates.

Here is a copy of the rates you will see posted throughout St. Thomas, and in all official taxis you will ride in:

Here are a couple of extra notes to keep in mind:

If your destination isn’t listed on this rate sheet, you will be charged at the rate of the nearest listed destination.
Any pets/animals must be contained in a kennel to ride in a taxi, and will be charged an additional rate for the ride. (The only exception is for seeing eye dogs.)
Taxis in the US Virgin Islands are a shared experience. Most are large vans, and you will likely be riding with other passengers traveling to alternate destinations. If you wish to have a private ride, you will need to negotiate the rate with your driver.
Luggage is charged for by the bag.

Our Favorite St. John Photo Ops

By Chrissann Nickel • March 27, 2025

St. John is an incredibly picturesque island. Those white sand beaches, the sparkling aquamarine water, and those dramatic green hillsides… both locals and visitors alike can’t resist pulling out their phones to snap one more picture, again and again. And don’t get us started on those Virgin Islands sunsets! Whether you’re a first time visitor to the island, or will be coming back soon on your 36th annual vacation, every trip to STJ is special—and every trip is worth commemorating with fresh photos. One of our newest experiences that we’re excited to offer is our Private Photoshoot Tour . On it, you’ll be matched with a talented professional photographer who will take you to some of St. John’s most stunning photo ops and take photos of you that are 1,000x better in framing, lighting, and style than those your well-meaning taxi driver took for you off the side of the road (he tried his best, but… we said what we said ;) ). In celebration of this new tour, we thought we would share some of our personal favorite photography spots on St. John. Here they are, in no particular order:
