There are an endless amount of US Virgin Islands vacations that
can be planned so it helps to narrow down the possibilities to a few
things that you can really enjoy. First choose from one or more of the
three islands that comprise the territory. These are St. Croix, St.
Thomas, and St John. All US Virgin Islands will allow for a wide array
of popular activities such as hiking, diving, fishing, kayaking,
golfing, and snorkeling. Still, you can make things easier on yourself
by choosing which island to visit first and what spots to come back for
on your next vacations.
To narrow down your choices of Islands,
consider that St Croix is the biggest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is
located about 40 miles south of the other islands and is a great spot
for people interested in the diversity of Mother Nature. On the south
side is a fertile plain where sugar was the main agricultural product
and this has become the signature spot on St. Croix, giving it the
nickname "Garden of the Antilles". Some amazing Danish colonial
architecture and a wide array of activities makes St. Croix an island
that is big enough to satisfy any number of vacations.
The two
smaller islands to visit on your vacation are St. John and St. Thomas.
St. John is also known as the "Wild Virgin" and is the smallest of the
U.S. Virgin Islands. It has a National Park that encompasses two-thirds
of the entire island. The steep slopes of Bordeaux Mountain and all of
the beautiful flora and fauna are a big attraction on St. John. Throw in
the 40 world renowned beaches and you may end up visiting here for
every one of your vacations. Of course, St. Thomas often attracts
visitors as well because of its mountainous terrain and the historic
port town of Charlotte Amalie.
Enjoy lots of hiking, snorkeling,
diving, and fishing on any of the three main islands and you will know
you have planned one of the best vacations possible.
