Then, enjoy a scenic ferry ride to St. John where a Nurtured Retreat Facilitator will escort you to the villa. To ensure a smooth journey, please book your flight to arrive in St. Thomas no later than 2 PM so all attendees can taxi and ferry together.
Departure: You'll need at least 3 hours to get from St. John to your gate. If you'd like to travel with the group, please book your flights no earlier than 2 PM. Nurtured Retreat facilitators will assist in getting you on the proper ferry to make your flight.
Your arrival taxi and roundtrip ferry transportation are included in your package. If you choose to arrive or depart at different times, you will be financially responsible for getting yourself to or from the airport, however, we will assist with travel coordination.
