Shipwreck Landing-a MUST do!

After 5 yrs returbing to the same place on St.John, this was our best ever trip!Two weeks of 85 degree weather, 1 rain shower at night, and water temps like bath water. A real highpoint: our annual lunch at Shipwreck. I always order whatever quesadilla they have, but this time the cook outdid himsel...

roads!

Ok! Thanks so much for the warning about the roads! Good to know in advance.
Sounds like Smugglers is the place to cool off before taking the ferry back.
Thanks for the info!

We are on STJ and plan on taking the ferry to spend a day on Tortola. We'd like to tour the island,travel the Ridge Rd, do a little shopping, find a place for lunch with a view, and try a beach.
Any restaurant/beach/travel recommendations?
Taxi tour or rent a car? Thanks so much!!!!

from STJ to Tortola

Yes, I can see how confusing this question was. My brain is on island mode! We are staying on STJ and want to take the ferry to tour and enjoy Tortola, just for the day. I believe we dock at West End. What is the best way to see the sights, must-dos, lunch? We can rent a car from Hertz for about $83...

From STJ to Tortola

We decided to do Tortola this year and Jost next year. I think the ferry brings us to West End. How do we tour the island? Spend some timecruising Great harbor? Lunch ideas?
I thought I could get
"unplugged" here but I need the forum experts!!!

Jost van Dyke & Tortola

We are planning a day trip via ferry from Cruz Bay to Jost Van Dyke, and if possible, on to Tortola. Is this doable in 1 day? What is recommended we do on both islands?....tours, lunch, places to see? If we do go on to Tortola, is there a place for dinner that is recommended? I imagine we'd be at th...

Company to call to make a reservation?Any idea how much for 1 day? I think the cost of a driver's license is $10? If we take a taxi t...

The Baths

Thank you all so much for this wonderful information!
The link was so helpful! As my husband is a non-swimmer, looks like we may do Limnos, and will consider the ferry.
You guys are a treasue! Thanks again!
