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

Wave to those back home. If you’ve got a trip to the USVI planned, give this link to your friends and family. Make arrangements for a specific time for them to log-on when you know you’ll be on the beach (or prepare them to be awaiting your text). Then, stand in front of the camera and wave from Paradise! Bonus points if you get a Painkiller from Bikinis on the Beach Bar & Grill first to raise your glass and cheers them with your toes in the sand.

Surprise someone from afar with a special message. Bring papers or poster board with your message written on it in large print. Whether you’re wishing your special someone a happy birthday, congratulations, or just letting them know you wish they were here with you, your message will be all the brighter when sent with one of St. John’s most stunning beaches as your backdrop.

Check for rainbows. Wondering what the weather’s like on St. John? Consider this your moment to moment weather report (though let’s be real – it’s 80 degrees and sunny 98% of the time!).

Look for boats in our harbor. Have a favorite USVI charter boat? Watch the moorings out in front of the beach to see when they come and go.

Watch the sunset. Pour yourself a sundowner at home and watch the sun go down each evening.

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:
