Virgin Islands Tourist Highlights

June 19th, 2008 · No Comments

The Virgin Islands is an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. The Islands are divided into the British Virgin Islands, the US Virgin Islands and the Spanish Virgin Island (Puerto Rican territory). The US Virgin Island consist of St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Water Island, and many smaller islands. The British part consists of the islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke and many smaller islands and cays. Culebra and Vieques, and numerous smaller islands and islets form the Spanish Virgin Islands. Temperature is warm all year round, but during August and September a tropical storm is always possible.

You can enter the islands through St. Thomas, St. Croix or Tortola Airports (usually taking off from San Juan in Puerto Rico) or take a cruise to arrive in one of the main harbours on the islands. You can then take a ferry to the islands in the region. If looking for cheap flights searching at Expedia, Orbitz, Travel Zoo and Travelocity might be helpful.

The Islands have many cultural and historic sites to visit. There are also several national parks, wildlife and ecological reserves. Whether on land or in the water, a great variety of activities is possible: swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving; sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, hiking and bird watching; or just admiring the coral reefs, the turquoise sea, and the magnificent scenery. The Virgin Islands are a true paradise to spend your holiday.
