Day Sails

Go sailing for a day of sun and snorkeling aboard one of the many charter boats that head to St. John or an offshore cay.
Day Sails

Book a day sail to an offshore cay at your hotel or through Connections or Adventures in Paradise in Cruz Bay.
Day Sails to Buck Island Reef National Monument

Charter boats leave from Green Cay Marina and the Christiansted waterfront for day trips to this marine park. Includes snorkeling and a few hours anchored off a fine white sand beach.
Dolphin

Dolphins usually live in deeper water, so look for them a bit offshore as they arc in and out.
Donkeys

Used as transportation until cars became commonplace in the 1950s, the ubiquitous donkeys now roam island byways. The largest population lives in St. John’s Virgin Islands National Park and its environs. Their braying can keep you awake at night. Don’t get up close and personal with them; they can deliver a mean kick.
Drake’s Seat, St. Thomas

Stellar panoramic views of Magens Bay and the BVI highlight this overlook. According to legend, the 16th-century explorer Sir Francis Drake kept watch on his fleet from this spot. A seat on the inland side of the overlook commemorates this event (seeDrake’s Seat).
Fishing

Fish in the North Drop and other locations. For bonefishing, Caribbean Fly Fishing is the best.
Fishing

Fish for the big ones on a saltwater trip off St. Croix on a charter boat.
Fishing

Charters depart from marinas at the island’s east end for the North Drop, located off St. Thomas and St. John and home to wahoo, bonito, kingfish, black-fin or yellowfin tuna, and marlin.
Fishing

Charter boats leave from the Cruz Bay waterfront on fishing trips to North or South Drops. Captain Byron Oliver also offers trips closer to St. John.
