4.00Kenneth was very informative and the scenery is breathtaking. More spots to stretch the legs would have been nice for someone with a bad knee but overall a nice overview of St. John.

1.00Advised driver that was having difficulty getting off ship - phoned multiple times but only answered twice once after he had. Already departed. Made no attempt to return my call- very disappointing Eric Moody

2.00In my booking, it says that drinks and food were included… that meant we could purchase them at the snack bar at trunk Bay… we left late due to late arrivals. We basically got a one hour tour, then dropped off at Trunk Bay for two hours on our own, then picked up and returned to Cruz Bay.
Beautiful beaches

4.00On time and pleasant. Beaches were beautiful. Minimal time at lookouts. Trunk beach was beautiful. No life guards or anyone to assist you with the snorkeling . Staff renting equipment were very nice. Bring your own towels since they are not available to rent.

Not much time at beach...

3.00Not much time at beach because our cruise ship docked at later time causing us to catch later ferry. There are cheaper ways to get to Trunk Bay if that is your end goal.
