Biggvee Selfie Tour — St. John's Photo Walk: Fort, Natural Arch & Caribbean Shore
Spend four easy hours framing St. John’s — from a 17th‑century plantation and an 18th‑century fort to a wind‑carved sea arch and a calm Caribbean beach. This guided selfie tour balances quick history and local color with photographer‑friendly stops and practical service like selfie sticks and onboard Wi‑Fi.
The Experience
Before You Go
Charge your phone
Bring a fully charged phone and a portable battery — you’ll take dozens of photos and video, and selfie sticks are provided but not extra power.
Wear comfortable shoes
Cobblestones, short stairways and sandy shorelines appear at different stops; lightweight closed‑toe shoes keep you steady for posed shots.
Time for light
Choose morning or late afternoon for softer light and fewer cruise visitors; midday sun is harsh and reflective off white buildings.
Hydrate and protect
Carry water and apply reef‑safe sunscreen to avoid sunburn and protect marine environments during beach stops.
