We are going to STJ soon what should we do?
We have already been para-sailing and have hiked many trails. What is there left to do?
Do you mean you've hiked the St John trails? Have you been to St John?
If you're looking for something to officially do, you probably picked the wrong place. People going to St John should be very very excited at the prospect of relaxing, exploring the island, losing track of the day and time, visiting beach after beach, snorkeling, seeing ruins, eating, shopping in town, and doing all of this spur-of-the-moment. My father-in-law would say that it's the kind of place where you wake up in the morning and your only decision for the entire day is "which beach to go to".
Unfortunately when you say "what is there left to do", I want to shake you (okay, not really shake you)! The allure of this amazing little island is that even when one does everything he can possibly do, one is excited with anticipation to do it all over again!!! Hopefully you'll head down there with that attitude and not the one I'm perceiving from your post. Sorry if I misread your attitude; I realize it's difficult to read on "paper".
Okay, I just figured out that you've been going since you were 3. I don't know how many years that it, but I'm assuming quite a few. My husband has also been going since before he was even conceived. His parents vacationed down there for the first time in the 70's.
So I've decided that you're a crazy person (joking)....why are you asking everyone else what you should do...you should be telling people what to do.
I'm assuming you have explored every single beach on the island, probably by foot or by car (and by snorkel). How about renting a boat and seeing the island from the "outside". Or head over to the BVIs. For those of us whose families have been visiting for decades, I don't think we're going to come up with any crazy new ideas at this point. Just go enjoy the vacation away from humanity.
I suggest going to every bar you can. Or, stick with one and attempt to sample all of their "wares". 😉
Or snorkel.
I suggest you get the snorkeling done before doing the bar thing.
