A year ago we took a trip down to the U.S. Virgin Islands. It was GORGEOUS there and we had a great time snorkeling, relaxing on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and sipping Cruzan rum! I miss it and wish I was there now!
The U.S. Virgin Islands is located in the Caribbean and consists of three islands: St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. We stayed on St. Thomas and a couple of times took a ferry to visit the smaller island of St. John. Since most of St. John is a national park, it’s natural beauty has been well-preserved, and it’s easily one of my favorite places!
We also took a day trip to the British Virgin Islands to see the Virgin Gorda Baths (which are incredible!) and to grab a drink at the Soggy Dollar Bar (which you have to swim to from your boat). I’d definitely recommend at least a day trip to the British Virgin Islands.
Day 1: Explored the island of St. Thomas. There are iguanas roaming around everywhere. This guy was chilling on a tree right outside our balcony.
