The Virgin Islands Activities...
Visitors ask all the time, what to do in St Thomas so we tell them there are lots of things to do in St Thomas as well as things to do in St John and all over the Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands beaches, coral reefs, historic ruins, and hiking trails provide hours of exploration. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities on the land such as hiking and camping in the Virgin Islands National Park. Visitors can also enjoy many water activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing and fishing. There are plenty of things to do St Croix, St. Thomas and St. John and the climate is perfect for outdoor activities because here rainy days are rare with rainfall being only 40 - 50 inches per year.
Island Fun…
St. Croix has many interesting things to see. Christainsted has crab races every Monday at Kings Alley and every Friday at Stixx. You can purchase a crab for $2.00 and winners receive prizes such as a sailing trip to Buck Island or a ticket on a seaplane shuttle to St. Thomas. Sunday is car-racing day! Two hundred plus people gather in the Junie's Barbeque parking lot in Estate La Reine. They race miniature cars made of metal and plastic. Each car pays $1.00 and the winner gets a trophy and a monthly award of a bike. The Crucian Christmas Festival is held every year at the end of December and the beginning of January. Be sure to check out the calendar of events for a comprehensive listing of activities. There is a crowning of Prince and Princess, Food Fair, opening of the Festival Villages, Children's parade, and Adults' parade. St. Croix has the ruins of more than 155 sugar mills and the largest concentration of baobab trees in the Caribbean. The trees are imported from West Africa and are considered sacred. The St. Croix Heritage Trail is one of the Caribbean's most notable sites. Established in 1999, the trail is 24 miles long and allows people to explore the whole island. The St. Croix Heritage Trail goes along scenic coastline, through cattle country, tropical forest and to historic seaport towns.

St. Thomas is home to The Reefer, a ferry that will take you out to the beach at Frenchman's Reef. If you are on Magen's Bay Rd., stop by St. Thomas Dairies. The dairy doesn't produce milk but serves milk shakes, ice cream, and juices. The Arts Alive Craft Fairs feature exhibits from more that 50 vendors and artists. Founded by Rhonda Tillet in 1980, the craft fair is a great place for artists in the community to participate.
