Review
First published in 1996, when St. John was a still sleepy island, this updated version provides a respite from busy Cruz Bay. The guide offers an insiders view into the quintessential St. John with its hiking trails, scrambles and gut walks. Singer, a long time island resident, provides a framework for reference with lots of fast facts and an easy to read description of places of interest, flora and fauna, amidst a well laid backdrop of St. John s rich history and island legend. --Virgin Voice, December 2006 January 2007

GREAT Travel Book
Although I only went on one hike in St. John - the book described every possible hike in great detail. I wish I had time to do them all. Along with the hikes, Singer describes the beaches, snorkeling, and nature that you will encounter on your visit. The book also incorporated the history of St. John, which not only allowed me to impress my fellow travelers, but made me appreciate St. John's intriguing past. Very well written!

The only book to have when on St. John!!
Used this book extensively during our family trip to St. John in March 2007. Best of the bunch for finding the best places to see. I was particularly pleased with the information on snorkling since the photos in this book are great and the directions on how to get to these places were flawless. I really liked Lameshur Bay and specifically Beehive Cove around the point. Highly recommended for its detail and information. St. John was awesome too! This book was worth every dollar spent.

wonderful book
This book is packed with information. If you are going to be active - hiking, snorkling then this is the book for you. Read it before you go to plan your trip because there is too much to see in just a week.
