Come and see for yourself the beauty and culture of the unique islands of St. Croix, St. John, St. Thomas and Water Island. The largest of the U.S. Virgins, St. Croix has a remarkably diverse and beautiful landscape ranging from a lush tropical rainforest to desert vegetation. St. John is the smallest and remains the most non-commercial and low key of the islands. Over fifty percent of its total area is preserved and maintained by the National Park Service. St. Thomas has busy ports with an abundance of duty-free shops, historic buildings, waterfront views and some of the best beaches in the West Indies. Water Island offers seclusion, privacy, peace and quiet, but with easy access to St. Thomas. Called "Last of the Virgins" it's so secret that some official maps don't include it. Sometimes referred to as "America's Paradise", they remain some of the most sought after destinations in the world.
