Snorkeling & Sunsets: St. John Adventure


  • St. John Boatman Bay US Virgin Islands (map)

Sold Out … thanks adventurers!

Escape to the Virgin Islands with MYA on an extraordinary adventure to gorgeous St. John, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. Bring your snorkeling and scuba gear if you have it - let’s come together for some awesome island explorations!

Adventurers will stay on a hillside villa enjoying the vistas of foliage, sea and sky. The possibilities are endless with playtime at the beaches, a day trip to Puerto Rico, deck lounging & pool dipping, hiking, delicious vegetarian meals, plenty of yoga and more…

A ferry will take adventurers over to St. John (flights are into St Thomas!) and MYA will get you to our super fab private villa. A national park occupies more than half the island with its forests full of resident and migratory birds, including cuckoos, warblers and hummingbirds. The beaches are absolutely spectacular! Dolphins inhabit the island’s waters, which also host hawksbill and green turtles. The mangroves at Hurricane Hole, in the east, support corals and anemones.

The adventure villa is on the south shore in a quiet nature-filled neighborhood on Boatman Bay, a ten minute drive from the harbor. Owned by famous American Pop culture artist, Peter Max, the space is designed for both privacy and communal gatherings.

The lovely bedrooms have an en-suite bath and shower, sliding glass doors, and individual A/C units in each. Two of the king bedrooms have an extra full-sized twin in the room, great for adventurers that don’t mind sharing their space. To round out the group experience, Holly’s 12yr old son Augi will be adventuring with us!

The coral stone deck is expansive with a pool, lounge chairs, and dining area, of course, the views are jaw dropping! All will enjoy dramatic clear turquoise reefs below, pristine National Park coastline, and crisp horizon views of the vast blue sea, sunrises, and moonrises. The evening might be the perfect time to soak in the hot tub, one of MYA’s fav amenities.

We’ll break up the dining experience having four dinners served up at the villa and three meals out on the town being sure to take in the local experience. The MYA offerings will be vegetarian :)

Adventurers will be hiking, snorkeling (equipment is rentable if you don’t have your own), paddleboarding (another rentable item), and swimming. The floating bar might be an interesting excursion and we may get in some guided tours as well such as a leisurely kayak and snorkel adventure through the mangroves – an experience offered very few other places in the world! In villa massage and spa treatments will also be an option for adventurers as an add on. Sunset charters, a mermaid experience (yes, you can put on a fancy tail and pose for pics!), and a private dj are some other offerings :) MYA is definitely planning on a day trip to Puerto Rico - lets book a salsa lesson together and really have some fun!

Don’t miss out on a crazy good time on the island of St. John, a slice of paradise! Adventures will enjoy seven nights in sweet accommodations with breakfasts and four dinners included, yoga twice daily, private pool & hot tub, hiking, swimming, and snorkeling…
