The Westin St John Resort
St John Condos helps travelers from Tununak, Alaska, plan a week of snorkeling and beach days at villas near the Westin St John Resort, and answers questions from our local team before you book.
Tununak sits in western Alaska, where the air is cool for most of the year and the coastline is shaped by open water. Many people who live there spend long stretches of the year bundled up against wind and gray skies, so a week of warm water and sand can feel like a real change of pace. The islands of the US Virgin Islands offer that contrast, with clear shallows and reef life close to shore. On St. John, a rented villa gives you room to set your own rhythm. You can start the morning with coffee on a terrace, head to the water when the light is good, and come back for a quiet afternoon. Villa Rentals through St John Condos are arranged by the week, so you can settle in and let the days stretch out without packing up every evening.

Planning a snorkeling week from Tununak
- Reaching the island. Most visitors from Alaska fly to St. Thomas, which has the airport code STT, and then take a taxi to Red Hook. From there you board the passenger ferry to Cruz Bay on St. John. Plan a little slack in your travel day, since connections from a remote Alaskan town can be unpredictable, and keep your gear in your carry-on bag.
- Choosing your timing. Leaving Alaska for the islands makes the most sense when you want warm water and a clear break from long dark months. Think about when you can be away from work and family, and remember that the Caribbean stays warm year round, so the choice is mostly about your own calendar. Book early enough that your preferred villa is still open.
- Planning the stay. Build your days around the water. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a good mask, and a dry bag for your phone. Keep a loose plan for beach mornings and calmer afternoons, and remember that on St. John you drive on the left side of the road, so think about whether you want a car or prefer to get around on foot and by taxi.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need special gear for snorkeling in the Virgin Islands if I am coming from Alaska?
A basic mask, snorkel, and fins are usually enough for the shallow reefs near the beaches. Many travelers from colder places bring their own so they know the fit. A rash guard helps with sun, and a reef-safe sunscreen is a good idea. Our team can tell you what the villa already provides so you know what to pack.
Can St John Condos help me choose a villa for a week of beach days?
Yes. Tell us how you like to spend your days, whether you want to walk to the sand or enjoy a quieter spot, and we will talk through the options. Our local team answers questions before you book so you can pick a villa that fits your plans for swimming and relaxing.
