Adventure Vacations: Overview

The perfect vacation for anyone who WORKS HARD AND PLAYS HARDER.

Take your next vacation on St. John, where 95% of the island is preserved National Forest, so of course it has the best beaches in the world, but also much more….Hiking in the National Forest, SCUBA, boating, fishing, kayaking, island-hopping, swimming, trail-running, and sailing.

• meals and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic),
• luxury villa accommodations,
• on-island transportation and airport transports
• gear rentals.

Retreat leaders will provide a multitude of activities to keep you moving until you're ready to relax on the deck and soak in the Florian Villa sunset with a cocktail in hand. You work hard all year, reward yourself and let us plan it all for you.

Activities are led by Villa owner Scott Wahlen, Boston Firefighter, former Marine, world traveler, taxi driver, bartender, and marathon runner. Daily activity(s) will include treks through the national forest, boating, SCUBA, snorkel, kayaking and more. Some days may include "triathalons" - 3 activities in one day - a sure way to burn off all the Pina Colodas! Costs of ALL planned activities are included in your vacation. We'll deal with all the hassle of renting gear for you (snorkel gear, boats, etc.) All you have to do is show up at the water and hop in - no lines no deposits, no payments....it's all included in the cost of your vacation at Florian Villa.

The intensity of the hikes/snorkels will depend entirely on your preferences and in some cases multiple levels of activities will be offered.

This is YOUR vacation and YOUR retreat, so we invite you to participate in as few or as many of the activities as you like. There may be days when all you want to do is rest by the beautiful villa pool and indulge in the view of the islands - that's totally cool!
