Reasons to Visit St. Croix
St. Croix offers a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and exciting adventures, making it a must-visit destination. As a U.S. territory, the island is easily accessible to U.S. citizens, and no passport is required to enter. Visitors enjoy perks like twice the duty-free allowance of other Caribbean destinations and the convenience of using U.S. postage stamps.
Explore Underwater Wonders
The Wall at Cane Bay
Dive into one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular underwater sites. The Wall at Cane Bay plunges 3,000 feet, attracting divers from around the globe. St. Croix also boasts the largest living reef in the Caribbean, along with five shipwrecks within 100 yards of each other. For certified and non-certified divers, options like Snuba (breathing through a surface-connected hose) make this an unforgettable experience.
Explore scuba options with:
Buck Island Underwater National Park
Snorkel through a unique underwater trail with markers at Buck Island, where underwater plaques can identify reef fish. For non-swimmers, a glass-viewing window (Caribbean Sea Adventures) offers stunning views. Choose a half- or full-day tour to the island from Christiansted (Big Beard’s Adventure Tours) or take a smaller catamaran (Jolly Roger Charters) or a trimaran (teroro@msn.com).
Salt River Natural Historical Park
This ecological preserve offers both daytime and nighttime kayaking tours. Paddle through mangroves by day or witness the magical glow of phosphorescence by night. This is also where Columbus landed during his second voyage to America. Tour operators include:
Rum Distilleries
Visit the Cruzan Rum and Captain Morgan factories for engaging tours and complimentary samples. Even on rainy days, the tasting bars are always open. Learn more:
Wharf Dining & Tarpon Feeding
At the Christiansted Wharf, feed tarpon with chicken wing bones after enjoying a meal at one of the restaurants or pubs. The fish are lightning-fast and can reach nearly four feet long, adding excitement to the experience.
Family-Friendly Fun

Don’t miss the Monday evening crab races at the Brew Pub. For just $2, you can buy racing rights to a crab, with prizes for kids regardless of whether their crab wins.
Celebrate with Caribbean Music
Experience the joyful rhythms of steel pan drums featured in local parades, holiday celebrations, and Sunday brunches at waterfront restaurants. Sundays on the island are relaxing, as most stores close except for major department stores, which never charge sales tax.
