Is snorkeling still good on St. John?
Absolutely! While we all share concerns about protecting St. John’s pristine natural environment, and we strongly emphasize the importance of responsible tourism on all sides, the snorkeling remains incredible for all skill levels.

The calm, clear waters and abundant marine life truly make St. John a snorkeling paradise.
We encourage visitors to learn more about local conservation efforts and how they can help protect this beautiful ecosystem. It is up to all of us!
