Ferry entering Cruz Bay Harbor

Ferry Service

Passenger ferries run between Cruz Bay and St. Thomas (and the British Virgin Islands). The Red Hook ferry runs hourly (departing St. John) from 6 a.m. to midnight (departing Red Hook). The Charlotte Amalie ferry leaves from the downtown dock less frequently.

Vehicle ferry service is also available, departing from Red Hook [approx. schedule], arriving at the new vehicle ferry dock located away from the downtown area.

Land-based Transportation

Open-air safari taxis leave from Cruz Bay to island-wide destinations. Two and three-hour tours are available by the taxi drivers. 

Several agencies rent a variety of vehicles, ranging from Jeeps and mini sport utility vehicles to the larger sport utility vehicles. Although the standard left-hand driver’s position is found on all vehicles, driving is on the opposite side of the road, with vehicles keeping to the left at all times.
