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

Did you know that VI EcoTours has a beach bar & grill on St. John? It’s called Bikinis on the Beach, and here’s some exciting news – it just got a sister location!

For visitors arriving to our Mangrove Lagoon on St. Thomas, there haven’t been many food options up until now – but we’ve just changed that.

Bikinis has just opened a St. Thomas location in time for the coming season. Get hungry island foodies, because this location features a Caribbean favorite: roti.

Roti (pronounced row-tee) is an island-style wrap. It looks like a burrito, but the flavors are distinctly Caribbean. The thin, yet strong, roti shell wraps around a savory curry stew – typically one made of either beef, chicken, fish, or veggies. It is popularly served with hot pepper sauce and/or mango chutney. It’s an incredibly satisfying meal, particularly after getting active with us on a hiking, kayaking, or snorkel tour.

For Virgin Islands locals, we wanted to make sure our food was also available to grab n’ go. We look forward to providing hearty lunches for islanders on the run on St. Thomas!

Bikinis on St. Thomas also has a bar offering tropical favorites such as painkillers, rum punch, local beers, and more.

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:
