St John's Island

Despite its dark past, St John's Island is a beautiful spot that is teeming with marine life. Formerly a quarantine station for leprosy cases and a penal settlement, the island is now home to a wide range of recreational activities and all manner of sea creatures.

See the colourful coral right in front of your eyes or swim in one of St John's Island's many lagoons. You might also like to enjoy a pleasant picnic on the beach or go dolphin spotting by the water. More activity ideas include working on your tan, trekking around the island or you playing a game of soccer. 

To find out more about St John's Island, there are also guided nature walks conducted by the Tropical Marine Science Institute. A daily ferry from Marina South Pier goes directly to St John's Island or you can charter your own boat to get there. Chalets and camping facilities are also available on the island.
