The Westin St John Resort

St John Condos helps travelers from Hydaburg, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort, and the local team is glad to answer questions before you book.

Hydaburg sits in the far southeast of Alaska, where the coast is cool and the water stays chilly for most of the year. Many people who live there dream of a different kind of sea, one that is warm, clear, and easy to step into. St. John, in the US Virgin Islands, offers exactly that, and a week there can feel like a complete change of pace from the long northern seasons at home. Our villa rentals at the Westin St John Resort are built for unhurried days. You can spend mornings over the reef with a mask and snorkel, afternoons on the sand, and evenings on a private terrace. Because the rentals are by the week, you can settle in, stop checking the clock, and let the island set the rhythm of your trip.

Planning a snorkel week from Hydaburg

  1. Reaching St. John. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which uses the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there, a passenger ferry carries you across to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little slack in your day for the connections, since island travel rewards a relaxed pace. Driving on St. John happens on the left side of the road, so take that into account if you rent a car.
  2. Choosing when to go. Travelers from Alaska often choose the Caribbean winter, when home feels most distant and the northern dark is at its deepest. The islands stay warm and pleasant through the year, so the season is mostly a matter of your schedule and what suits your plans. Talk through your preferred weeks with our team, who can tell you what to expect before you commit.
  3. Planning your stay. Book a villa for the full week so your mornings on the reef and your slow afternoons do not need to be squeezed around a hotel calendar. Pack a good mask, reef-safe sunscreen, and a light layer for cooler evenings. Tell us what you most want from the trip, whether that is quiet snorkeling or easy beach days, and we will help you match that to the right villa.

Frequently asked questions

Is a week long enough for snorkeling and beach days on St. John?

A week gives you room to snorkel several times, rest between swims, and simply enjoy the sand without rushing. Many travelers from cold northern places find that the first few days are for unwinding and the later days are for the water. Our team can help you judge whether a week suits the pace you want.

Do I need to bring snorkel gear from Alaska?

You can bring your own mask, snorkel, and fins if you already have them, which many people prefer for comfort and fit. If you would rather travel light, check with our team about what is practical to arrange once you arrive. Either way, a well-fitting mask makes the biggest difference on the reef.
