The air tastes of salt and sun as a rugged Jeep rumbles over coral-strewn roads, windows down and reef-lined bays opening like chapters along the shore. On St. John, every sandy turn reveals a different water color — glassy aquamarine at Maho, deeper teal at Leinster — and the guide times stops for currents, visibility, and the best shallow reefs for snorkeling.
