Yes, it is St. John Antigua, not USVI. I didn't want to post in multiple forums so I just picked the one associated with the first stop. Sorry for the confusion!

Thank you both! I'll definitely check out the Hassel Island and kayak tours.

Our NCL cruise is going to St. Thomas one day and St. John the next (early June). I've checked a few different sites with port schedules and we're the only ship scheduled at both places. Not sure how accurate that is but I'm excited that it might not be as crowded as I feared! I am sooo lost with what to do at these ports. I don't mind doing an official excursion with NCL but they are somewhat limited for these ports. They're mostly shopping and all-day beach breaks. I'm looking for any excursion (NCL or not) or private tour company that y'all could recommend that would have more to do. AND wouldn't leave us in danger of missing the boat! We have an 11-year old daughter and we're fairly adventurous. I definitely want to snorkel at some point, but I don't want to just hang out at a beach all day. We love kayaking, history, and stuff that is off the beaten path. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
