Top travel experiences in the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands
1. Hiking in Virgin Islands National Park The edge of the Virgin Islands National Park is covered with bare trees and spiked cacti, which covers three-quarters of St John's Island. In addition to cool snorkeling, wild asses, and eco-camping, this national park offers travelers an unparalleled hiking experience. There are many winding trails in this wilderness that take hikers to clifftops, rock carvings and sugar factory ruins. Some trails lead to beaches perfect for dancing with turtles and spotted eagle rays. These trails are short and most of them are not difficult, suitable for hikers to choose within their means and feel the magic of nature.
2. Dive to see the RMS Rhone Wreck RMS Rhone is the most famous wreck of a shipwreck in the Caribbean. The brig, a royal mail ship, sank off the coast of Salt Island in a hurricane in 1867. Today, the ship is a national park, and its wreckage lies quietly in the sea, serving as a bizarre habitat for marine life, with octopus, eels and squid swimming among them. In fact, many Hollywood films have been featured here, including Cameron's "The Deep." Since the stern of the ship is in shallow water, snorkelers can also view the wreckage.
3. Explore the Outer Islands The British Virgin Islands' Out Islands are a fantastic mix of uninhabited wildlife sanctuaries, luxurious retreats for the rich and famous, and sailor food depots. There are more than 30 small islands to suit all travel tastes. Cooper Island has budget cottages. Norman Island has buried treasures and a noisy floating bar. There are countless other small islands – Ginger Island. Dogs Island and Fallen Jerusalem – both are paradises with turquoise beaches. If you don't have a yacht, you can join a yacht day trip and feel the beauty of the outer islands.
4. Beaches As we all know, the highlight of the Virgin Islands is the beaches. There are secluded beaches, family beaches, beaches for snorkeling and beaches for walking while watching the sunset. Loblolly Bay, Flash of Beauty, Smuggler's Cove – have you seen hammocks hanging among coconut trees? Jost Van's famous White Bay got its name from its insanely white beaches. There are so many beaches in Tortola that many are renamed – there are beaches called Long Bay to the east and west.
5. Historic Christiansted This 18th-century town is the culmination of historical heritage preservation. The cannon-mounted fort is flanked by golden, pink and brown neoclassical buildings from the West Indies. The sight is reminiscent of the glory days of Christiansted, the capital of the Danish colonies, and the large estates of St. Croix. It is adjacent to Kings Wharf, where for more than 250 years ships laden with slaves docked, filled with sugar or syrup, and set off again. Today, Christiansted's boardwalk is home to numerous bars and dive boat operators. Galleries and taverns take a walk in the laneways of this town.
6. Bass Beach The most popular tourist attraction in the British Virgin Islands is Bass Beach on Virgin Gorda. Giant granite gravel dots the coastline messily by the sea. The rocks intersect to form various caves filled with seawater, reflecting the sun like a kaleidoscope. You can snorkel among these marvelous boulders or walk between them. You'll suddenly find yourself swimming into shallow puddles, squeezing into narrow passages, or "stranding" on sugary beaches.
7. Jost Van Dak Jost Van Dak is located in the northwest of the island of Totola. Thanks to a local Calypso musician named Foxy Callwood and his legendary bar of the same name, Jost van Dack has become more famous than the 4-square-kilometre island. Even though celebrities like Keith Richards sometimes stop for a drink, Yost remains an unspoiled oasis with dazzling white sand beaches dotted with lush hillsides. There are a number of restaurants, beach bars and family hotels on the island. That's pretty much it.
