The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Noorvik, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days on St. John, with villas rented by the week at the Westin St John Resort. Their local team answers questions before you book.
Noorvik sits in the far northwest of Alaska, where the winters are long and cold and the landscape is wide open. For many people who live there, a trip to warm water and sandy shores feels like a true change of scenery. A week of snorkeling and lazy beach days can be exactly the reset that a northern winter calls for, and the Virgin Islands offer that kind of clear, calm water. St. John is a small island in the US Virgin Islands, and it suits travelers who want quiet mornings in the water and easy afternoons on the sand. Villa Rentals at the Westin St John Resort give you a private base for the week, with room to unwind between swims. This page is meant to help you think through the trip before you commit, so you can enjoy the planning as much as the destination.

Planning your trip from Noorvik
- Getting to the island. Most visitors fly into St. Thomas, which has 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 your connections with some slack, since travel from interior Alaska can involve more than one leg and weather can shift plans. Pack light so the taxi and ferry feel easy.
- Choosing when to leave. Winter in Noorvik is cold and dark, so many travelers from the north look to the cooler months of the year, when the Caribbean is still warm and the trade winds are steady. Think about your own schedule, your work commitments, and how much time you want for snorkeling versus rest. A calmer week often feels better than a packed one, so choose dates that give you room to breathe.
- Planning your stay. Villa Rentals are booked by the week, which suits a snorkeling trip well because you can settle in and move at your own pace. Think about what gear you will bring, whether you want a rental car, and how you will get to the beaches you care most about. Driving on St. John is on the left, so take a moment to adjust before you head out. Ask the St John Condos team any questions before you book.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring my own snorkel gear from Noorvik?
Many travelers prefer to bring their own mask and snorkel so the fit feels familiar, especially if they are coming from a place without warm water. Check what you plan to use on the island and pack accordingly. The St John Condos team can tell you what is useful to bring for a week of beach and water time.
Is a week long enough for a snorkeling trip to St. John?
A week gives you time to settle in, find your favorite spots in the water, and rest between sessions without rushing. Many people from the north find that a full week feels like the right length for a true break. If you are unsure, talk it through with the St John Condos team before you book your villa.
