Getting there

Use the closest major airport and a regional drive plan for Virgin Islands.

There are no airports on St. John so you must fly to the St. Thomas Cyril E. King Airport (code STT) and travel from there. From the airport you rent a car and drive or take a taxi to Redhook (west end) St. Thomas. From there you can either take a car barge to St. John or the people ferry. Once on St. John you can easily walk from the ferry terminal to the Visitor Center.

SERPRadio origin links provide flight-research entry points without replacing local route planning.
