Top 5 Adventures in the Caribbean, Multisport St. John

Only a few miles east of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. John has virtually nothing in common with its overdeveloped neighbor. More than sixty percent of the island and its surrounding waters are comprised of Virgin Islands National Park, a mecca in the Caribbean for the active traveler. Hiking trails weave through the arid and semi-tropical terrain past some 800 species of plants like the desert loving turks head cactus.  On the shore, white sand beaches lead to coral-covered bays (Trunk and Leinster are two of the best) where snorkelers spend hours mesmerized by the neon-colored fish.  Arawak Expeditions takes full advantage of this locale by featuring the St. John Inn-to-Inn Adventure Week. During the days, you’ll hike, snorkel, sea kayak, mountain bike, and dive St. John. In the evening, you’ll be staying at small inns without the crowds, like Sandcastle in White Bay, featuring six cottages on the beach, a beach bar, and a restaurant serving just-caught seafood. Cost of the trip is $1449 per person, including lodging, food, equipment, and guided service.
