Has anyone seen or swam with dolphins in St. John? We would love to see them in the wild, not in captivity.

Hello Kiki,

Some have reported seeing a dolphin (the same one each year) just off of Cruz Bay.

I don't know of any regular dolphin hang outs around St. John where you could be sure to find them and have the oppurtunity to swim with them.

There was a recent discussion on our relocation board about dolphins - check it out at http://www.vimovingcenter.com/talk/read.php?4,32539,32607

Kiki,
I've seen dolphins playing around with the boaters in White Bay on Jost Van Dyke (just a few miles north of St. John), so I 'spose it's possible they could visit the bays on St. John as well. I don't know of anyplace they hang out as a rule though, so seeing them is a pretty hit-or-miss proposition.

I've seen dolphins on numerous trips between STJ and Jost - they follow our boat surfacing and diving.
