On St. John: If you want to rent a car for the day on St John, you will need to pick one up when you arrive. The agencies do not take advance single day reservations.
Safari Bus - There is an open air safari bus that runs for $1-$2 per person each direction. It does NOT go to the airport, or Magens’ Bay, but it does eventually go to Redhook. You can get to two beaches via the Safari - Brewer’s Bay or Lindquist Beach (Smith Bay). It can be difficult to get back from Lindquist however. There are frequent stops and no time schedule and they stop running at dusk. If you want a quirky look into island living, try the safari bus. If you have a schedule and want to get to a specific location - skip it and take a taxi.
