A Whirlwind Tour of St. Croix

Touring the island is quite an adventure, since it's 82 square miles.

Rental cars are available. You can also rent a taxi/tour car and have the guide show you the island. The cost varies; it depends on the number of hours. Your guide will know where to take you, what to see, and where to have lunch (which is extra) outside of town.

Through your hotel you can arrange for a twilight sail or a cocktail cruise or a Buck Island cookout and much more. Sightseeing tours can also be arranged through your hotel. Ask for literature to find the range of programs offered. All photos provided by Carol Lee.

Sites to Look For:




In Christiansted

Christiansted has been called the picture-book harbor of the Caribbean; a natural reef just offshore assures a haven for yachts and smaller pleasure craft.

In Frederiksted

Here's where many cruiseships dock, approaching the palm-fringed town from the open sea. Frederiksted is known for its continuous shoreline.
