Trip Navigation
Dive into St. John’s 3,000 years of human history! Go beyond Virgin Islands National Park’s stunning white-sand beaches. Hike to historic plantation sites to learn about a challenging past when sugar and enslaved labor dominated life on the island. Visit the Indigenous Taino’s ancient petroglyphs. Snorkel coral reefs to discover hidden marine life. Two-thirds of the island of St. John is a national park, making it a unique destination for visitors!
The volunteer trail crew’s scope of work includes trails maintenance, clearing of historical sites, native tree planting projects, invasive species removal, and trash/debris removal. Common tools on the crew are loppers, weed whackers, hand saws and shovels. Volunteers will need to be physically capable of hiking up to 5 miles on uneven terrain while carrying 20 lbs and performing manual labor in hot and humid conditions for up to 6 hours a day. The maximum elevation gain is around 800ft.
There is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction, tool demonstrations, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks, at your own pace.
