Fun Facts
Coral Reefs
Keep your friends close & anemones closer
Coral reefs are found around all three main island: St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. We do ask that any sunscreen brought is labeled as "reef-safe".
Origin Story
Who's the Father?
The Virgin Islands were originally owned by the Danish. That's why everything looks so Dane good! The U.S. purchased the Virgin Islands in 1917 for $25 million in gold.
Rules of the Road
Life in the Left Lane
In the Virgin Islands, cars drive on the left side of the road. Got that, right? Stay left!
Island Hopping
One of each, please!
Day trips to the other islands are possible and encouraged. You can travel to either St. John or St. Croix by sea plane, ferry, or boat charter.
Take It Off!
