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

One fun fact about St. John that many new visitors are unaware of is that the island is home to its very own brewery.

Started by two friends who quit their jobs and moved to the Virgin Islands, St. John Brewers makes all of their creations onsite. While so many of the beers sold on island are imported, drinking St. John Brewers is a fun (and delicious!) way to support a local business.

They also opened a brewpub, The Tap Room, which is located in Cruz Bay, and a beer gift shop, located in Mongoose Junction. They’re must-eat/drink/shop stops when you’re in town, a favorite of locals and tourists alike.

We love how inventive they get with their beers, infusing them with tropical flavors while still maintaining the integrity of the brew. They have several different styles of craft beer, sodas, and even an energy drink. The most popular tends to be a tie between their Island Summer Ale and their Tropical Mango Pale Ale.

Have you tried St. John Brewers beers yet? If so, which one is your fav?

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:
