The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos can help travelers from Big Delta, Alaska plan a week of snorkeling and beach days in the Virgin Islands, with villas at the Westin St John Resort and answers to your questions before you book.

Big Delta sits in the interior of Alaska, where winters are long and cold and the summer light lingers well into the evening. Many people who live there dream of warm water, soft sand and a week spent mostly in the ocean. A stay on St. John, one of the US Virgin Islands, offers exactly that, with clear shallows for snorkeling and beaches close to the villas. Because the islands are so different from home, it helps to think ahead about what a week of snorkeling and beach days really looks like. Plan for sun, pack light layers for cooler evenings, and expect that most of your time will be spent outdoors. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a home base with room to rest between swims.

Getting from Big Delta to St. John

  1. Reaching the islands. Most visitors reach St. John by flying to St. Thomas, airport code STT, then taking a taxi to Red Hook and the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay. From Big Delta you will likely connect through a larger hub before that final leg, so build a little slack into your travel day and keep your snorkel gear in your carry-on if you can.
  2. Choosing when to leave. Alaska's coldest months are a natural time to head south, and many travelers from Big Delta prefer to leave during the darker season. Consider your own calendar, school schedules and the weather you want for swimming. Ask the St John Condos team which weeks suit your plans before you lock anything in.
  3. Planning the stay. Book your villa for the full week so you can settle into a routine of morning swims and slow afternoons on the sand. Remember that driving on St. John is on the left, so think about whether you want a rental car or prefer to walk and use taxis. Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well.

Frequently asked questions

Is St. John a good place for snorkeling if I have never tried it before?

Yes, many visitors who are new to snorkeling enjoy the calm, clear water around the island. Bring a mask that fits well, practice breathing through the snorkel in shallow water first, and consider a fin set for comfort. The St John Condos team can answer more questions about what to expect before you book.

How should I prepare for going from a cold Alaska winter to a warm island week?

Start getting used to the idea of heat and sun a few days before you leave, and plan lightweight clothing, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen. Keep a light layer for air-conditioned rooms and evenings. Your villa stay will feel more restful if you arrive with a plan for sleep and time to unwind.
