Travelers from around the world make St. John their destination, whether for a honeymoon or just a relaxing beach jaunt. It is valuable to note that peak season occurs from mid-December to the end of April. It is the busy season and as a result is the most crowded time on the island. Since it is winter is most parts of the world, people want to get away from sleet and snow. They welcome the sun and sparkling blue water. The climate is temperate if not warm, and it doesn't rain until later in the year.

Most people go, understandably, during peak season when it is winter back home - a time of snow and sleet. This falls between mid-December until the end of April. Tropical islands are warm and inviting at this time of year. It doesn't get cold and it is therefore a true escape.

Then there is the true off-season which is made up of the wet months of August, September, and October. If you hate rain, you must wait for early November. Also note that the hurricane season comes at this time between late summer and early fall.

Entry requirements are not all that stringent for St. John. In fact, US citizens need to take passports. Furthermore, it is easy to fly in directly to neighboring islands like St. Thomas and St. Croix if you depart from Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Miami, Philadelphia, New York, or Washington DC. You can also connect from other cities through San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The ferry is a definite tourist attraction and it has an ample schedule. It is available in the regional magazines such as St. Thomas/St. John This Week, and it is updated regularly. It is something not to miss. You can also take it to explore outer regions such as the British Virgin Islands. Mention should also be made of the wonderful and luxuriant Virgin Islands National Park on St. John, which you can visit at no charge.

Vaccinations are required to go to this area of the US Virgin Islands, and it pays to find out which type ahead of time. Immunization is discussed on the island's official website. Consult it to be sure of what you need before you go. Overall, it is fairly routine.

Heading to St. John means a wonderful vacation ahead. The guide will enhance your holiday and make sure you see and experience the local culture.
