Caribbean Challenge Dive a wall, a reef, a wreck and a pier all in the same day in St. Croix.
The US Virgin Islands is comprised of three main islands, St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas, each a magnificent tropical environment offering a unique array of experiences. St. Croix, the largest of the three islands, lies entirely within the Caribbean Sea and is characterized by cultural diversity. Pastel buildings and charming shops can be seen in the historic towns of Christiansted and Frederiksted, while the island’s emerald waters, powdery sands and rolling green hills remain just as Columbus first discovered them in 1493. Two-thirds of St. John, the smallest of the three islands, is a protected US national park with hilly green land and an underwater reserve. St. John’s world-renowned beaches include Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay and Maho Bay. The liveliest of the US Virgin Islands is cosmopolitan St. Thomas, with sophisticated dining and tempting duty-free shopping. Charlotte Amalie is a bustling harbour town full of fine restaurants and quaint shops while St. Thomas’ picturesque Magens Bay is ideal for a relaxing afternoon retreat. The US Virgin Islands promises top-tier accommodation, ranging from eco- friendly lodging at the Maho Bay Camp Grounds on St. John to the glamorous Ritz-Carlton on St. Thomas.
