Amazing views, donkeys and more! - Kenneth is an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and kind. He gave us plenty of time to take pictures on the overlooks and enjoy the sugar plantation. It was very relaxing. We enjoyed beautiful views of the British Virgin Islands, St John’s beach’s and even saw some wild donkeys!! Kenneth even included an extra surprise stop on our tour which we very much appreciated! Make sure to take this tour if it’s your first time on St John!

We met Kenneth our tour... - We met Kenneth our tour guide right in front of Cruz Bay Dock. Sugar plantation tour was a highlight and I’m not a history buff. Kenneth was super knowledgeable and sweet! Truly appreciated him!

Way to see beautiful National Park - There are probably several tour companies that do this tour, but it is a great tour, giving you a taste of St. John and the beautiful National Park. There are a couple of stops with overlooks and then a stop at a beach. The tour guide made it interesting and fun. Want to go back and experience more of St. John.
