Does anybody know where to rent kayaks on St John. Do you think we can fit two on a Jeep wrangler?

I am fairly sure that there is not a place that will let you take them with you, but I could be wrong. I know that Cinnamon Bay rents them and you have to use them there. I have never seen anyone with them on a car and I can not imagine how you would transport them on a Wrangler. None of the rental vehicles have racks for them.

Cinnamon Bay,Maho Bay camps,and Crabby's{East end}are the one that I know of.The first two will not let you take them.As for Crabby's i'm clueless.I've used Maho's last July to visit Whistling Cay.It was a nice trip out there.Cinnamon Bay has the better kyacks than Maho but you will have to add 10 minutes on to the trip to Whistling Cay. :D Parafins...

Thanks all. We will probably do one of the ecotours.

Try hidden reef ecotours. They operate out of Haulover Bay East End....Snorkeling and paddling in pristine water.

Thanks Sloop, I saw this one and it looks great! How far in advance do you need to make reservations?

I know I am dismayed that there are so many options & so LITTLE time. Though kayaking sounds like hard work. I think I am FINALLY for the first time comtemplating an actual hike. I think an easy one. It looks like it might be salt pond out to Ram's head. I think I can do 2.5 miles roundtrip. With frequent waterings :)

Flip-Kayaking is really easy, relaxing and fun. You should have no worries about it particularly because you will not be riding any waves. Usually the guides take you to very calm inlets or bays. I have been kayaking for a few years now and my husband and I finally bought our own kayaks and LOVE them!

We are so looking forward to the hikes as well. There is nothing like an ice cold Beer after a hot, sweaty hike!
