Getting to St. John is a three-leg trip: fly to STT (St. Thomas), taxi to a ferry, ferry to Cruz Bay. The whole thing takes about 90 minutes once you're on the ground, and the ferry portion is genuinely one of the best parts of the trip — open-air seats, twenty minutes across Pillsbury Sound, the island slowly rising in front of you.
These guides cover every leg, plus how to get around once you're here.
