St. John Trunk Bay

[cruisehopeful]

I'm not going until 2027, but I like to research as much as possible. After looking at all the current port adventures for St. Thomas, I think I will want to visit Trunk Bay on St. John. I see a beach option and a snorkeling option. I love to swim in the ocean and I love to snorkel. Can anyone share their experiences with either of those? Would you recommend a different plan for adults who have never been to the Virgin Islands before (we don't like shopping or riding in a bus for a long time,)?

We've done the Secret Sands excursion twice and would absolutely do it again. It's been about 3 years since we last did that excursion, but it was so beautiful and wasn't crowded. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/...st-john-st-thomas-secret-sands-beach-getaway/
This is a picture I took there. There were people that brought snorkeling gear and maybe there were some snorkels available to borrow from the bus driver??

We did Magens Bay on St. Thomas to save time on travel and have more beach time. I had my own equipment and snorkeled there. Fish and turtles. Facilities and food. I love, love St. John, but by the time you get there, it is almost time to turn around and head back to the ship. I also snorkeled at Jost Van Dyke. Turtles there as well.

We did the champagne catamaran to St John. Recommend. The boat ride over was great and then you had time to snorkel and see the small beach.
