The process is not different if you’re planning to visit St. John. This article will explain the best times of year to visit and reserve a St. John villa. Enjoy.

Tourism

The top tourist activities on St. John include hiking, fishing, snorkeling, and relaxing on the beach. They all require clear weather that is not so hot as to discomfort you.

St. John’s dry season is from December to May. It’s best at this time because the weather is bright, but not too hot. It rains a lot in September and November, and it’s hurricane season from July to September. So, for the best tourist experience go between December and May.

Villa rates and availability

Depending on the number of tourists around, villa rates alter. From December to April are the most popular tourist months in St. John. During these months, rates are higher and you have to reserve ahead of time.

If you’re on a strict budget, then it is wise to visit outside the popular seasons. Avoid December to April, Christmas, and Thanksgiving seasons you’ll be able to rent some amazing luxury villas in St. John.

Fishing

Some kinds of fish on St. John USVI are available all year. An example is Tuna. You find it offshore, anytime you go fishing.

Some are popular only during particular months. Kingfish are found from February to May, and Bonefish are found from March to September.

If you prefer clear weather while fishing, remember to plan your vacation to fall between December and May.

Crowds

Well, what if you want to vacation when there are fewer people around? As long as you visit St. John’s outside the popular months, you’ll find fewer crowds.

Keep in mind that months outside from December to June, are less popular for several reasons: rainy weather, hurricanes, fewer villas and restaurants open, fewer activities.
