Missed Your Virgin Islands National Park Passport Stamp?

Missing a Virgin Islands National Park Cancellation? You Are Not Alone.

Virgin Islands National Park Passport Cancellation Stamps

Virgin Islands National Park has its passport cancellation stamp at the visitor center in Cruz Bay on St. John, located near the ferry dock where boats arrive from Red Hook on St. Thomas. The small visitor center is within walking distance of the ferry landing.

A missing national park cancellation from Virgin Islands is common because visitors arriving by ferry are often eager to get to the famous beaches — Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, or Maho Bay — and hop directly into taxis or rental jeeps without walking to the visitor center. The park covers about 60 percent of St. John island, and most visitors spend their time snorkeling or on the beach rather than at the small waterfront visitor center. If you took a day trip from a cruise ship, time constraints may have prevented a stop.

About Virgin Islands

State: U.S. Virgin Islands · Established: 1956 · Size: 14,689 acres · Iconic landmark: Trunk Bay

Virgin Islands National Park covers roughly two-thirds of the island of St. John in the sparkling Caribbean, protecting a tropical paradise of white-sand beaches, turquoise bays, and coral reefs. Beneath the water lie vibrant reefs teeming with fish, sea turtles, and rays, and the famous underwater snorkeling trail at Trunk Bay guides visitors past labeled coral formations. On land, forested hills laced with hiking trails climb past the ruins of colonial-era sugar plantations, telling the layered story of the island's Indigenous, colonial, and enslaved peoples. Ancient petroglyphs, quiet coves, and panoramic overlooks reward those who explore beyond the beaches. Warm, gentle, and stunningly beautiful, the park offers world-class snorkeling, swimming, and hiking in one of the most idyllic settings in the entire National Park System.
