Especially in this day in age and with everything happening in the world, it’s hard not to imagine a tropical vacation to get us out of our homes. Whether you or your family have been disrupted during this time or just need to get away, the US Virgin Islands are a great destination that the whole family can enjoy. Grab your sandals, pack your swimsuit, and let’s discuss how to plan a trip to the Virgin Islands that you won’t soon forget! 

Here are 6 reasons why we think you should book your next trip ASAP!

Family Trip To The Virgin Islands? Yes Please!

We could all use a family vacation every now and then, which is why we think booking a family trip to The Virgin Islands might be the perfect way to build some new memories. Read on as we give you some reasons why you will want to book your trip today.

Family Time Is So Important

The first, and maybe the most important reason for booking a family trip is to spend some quality vacation time with your family. Sometimes we all just need to get out of the house and out of our regular routines so that we can reconnect with our spouses and our children and create lifelong memories. 

A trip to the Virgin Islands is a great way to explore new surroundings and plan fun activities that you and your family can all do together. 

The Scenery Can’t Be Beat

The Virgin Islands are definitely one of the most beautiful destinations you can go to. They have dozens of national parks, preserves, and beaches to offer a stunning backdrop for your vacation. Across the national parks throughout all three islands are biodiverse reefs that you and your children will love to explore. There are loads of hiking trails, a butterfly garden you’ll love, and sunsets that can’t be beat! 

You Don’t Need A Passport To Get There

You know how stressful and complicated getting your passport can be - especially if you’re bringing children with you. From the timely process, the worry about taking a good photo, and the anxiety that comes with waiting for it to come - the whole thing is just a lot. Thankfully, though, the U.S. Virgin Islands is an American territory, which means that you and your children do not need a passport to come to this beautiful destination. 

If that isn’t a great reason to visit, we don’t know what is!

Snorkeling, Beaches, Scuba Diving, Culture

We are not kidding when we say that you can literally walk into the beach and snorkel with schools of tropical fish surrounding you. The beaches are like walking into a postcard. You’ll love diving and swimming and relaxing on the beach. 

You’ll find busy beaches and empty ones, but either way you’ll fall in love with the sand and the cool water. Plus the people and the culture are so different from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. Whether you’re hiking or snorkeling or scuba diving, there are so many fun and amazing things to do in the US Virgin Islands. 

The Food And Shopping Are Amazing

The US Virgin Islands is rich with culture and has a vibrant culinary scene. You’ll love visiting and trying local favorite places. Locally sourced meals, fresh food, and delicious food truck festivals, you and your whole family will have a blast. The US Virgin Islands has a $1600 duty-free shopping limit, which is the highest in the Caribbean. You’ll love shopping at the local shops and you can take home everything from artisan goods to luxury products.  

The Fishing Is World Renown

Fishing in the Virgin Islands is popular world-wide - especially during peak seasons. When you book a family fishing excursion with us, you get a fun and comfortable way to introduce your children to fishing. Give them an experience they’ll never forget - the joy of catching a vast array of Caribbean fish species. 

You’ll get a chance to fish inshore Caribbean species like Barracuda, Bonito, Kingfish, Yellowtail Snapper, Tarpon, Blackfin Tuna, and more! The fishing is mainly over reefs, wrecks, and inside the cays and lagoons so that you can admire all of St. Thomas and St. John’s attractiveness.
