Hi all, I'm just here for one more day and it would be super amazing if I can score some waves before leaving. It looks like there might be waves at Hull bay beach, but I've had no luck finding a surfboard. If anyone has one I can rent or use, please lmk. I mainly ride a 8.6 back in New England but usually ride 7 or 7.6 when I visit places like costa rica and nica

Wondering if Dengue may be going around? 3 coworkers of mine (and their families for the most part) are experiencing all the symptoms. I woke up this morning- body aches , bad headache, low grade fever (so far ) and I’ve thrown up but not too bad. I’m also wondering if going to the hospital would even be worth it? There isn’t a treatment correct ?

Worth it? I saw the ferrys are open again (weren't last time I was there) and now I have a passport!

Pretty easygoing couple. Beach drinks, shared taxis, couple tourist spots. And its a good day. Anyone have advice?

I'll be beach hopping a few days on St Thomas & St John but like variety.

TIA!

Hi all

I am going to the US Virgin Islands for my birthday and I am having trouble deciding between these two places. Prices seem comparable but I want a nice luxury relaxing experience. Anyone know much about these two and which would be better.

I'll be in St John Friday for a week . How accurate is the weather forecast. Looks like a lot of rain

I'll be in St John Friday for a week weather not looking great. How accurate are the forecasts

My family and I are staying in St. John at the end of December and we’re looking for some trustworthy cab companies to use for several nights going into Cruz Bay. Does anybody have any recommendations? We won’t be going far - our place is less than 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. There are also 7 of us, so we would likely need 2 cabs or a large van.

Staying at Bolongo for a short 4 days. Signed up for a swim with turtles/snorkel tour one day and a sail to st John on another day. No idea where those take off from (trying to find out). On my other 2 days im likely to sit on the beach. Can anyone offer a tip - car or taxi in that situation?

Hi,

We're visiting next week from Sunday to Thursday. 3 full days, one evening and one morning to explore. This will be our first time there, and our first time traveling as a couple so I want to make it as magical as possible. We are flying to St Thomas and then planning to ferry right over. Staying in a VBRO about 15 mins inland from Cruz Bay. We will have a jeep... I would LOVE to hear your must do's/sees/eats!!

Here on vacation for the week. I know it’s legal here now, I’m on st Thomas. Anywhere I can go to get a disposable cartridge? Could be delta 8 or actual thc…prefer a cartridge and not actual flower. Thanks in advance.

Just moved to St. Croix, I live mid-island (near Centerline and Cliff Hill Road) but I live down a long, windy dirt road with no actual address. Where do I take my garbage and in what form (bags, etc.)? Or are there collection services? Would I have to leave it on Centerline in a bin or would there be anyone that picks up at my home? Cheers.

Hello all. I'm looking for a cab driver on St. Thomas to schedule trips for the week of 11/3-11/9. Including airport pick up for a family of 3 and trips around town. I see someone posted info for Norman but his number does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Traveling to St Thomas with an arrival on Christmas Day. Are there any stores or restaurants open in Red Hook on the holiday?

Mine got damaged in my suitcase on my flight from St Croix.

Looking to have a wedding of around 100-150 people in St Johns but struggling to find a venue.

A few places we've heard of are Gallows Point and The Hills. Has anyone been a wedding at Gallows Point and enjoyed the experience, food, venue? Would love any insight on weddings in St Johns or any islands USVI or BVI.

Hi there I'm going to st thomas for my anniversary and would love a recommendation for any high end restaurants, no budget restrictions. Thank you!

Good day everyone, My name is Tir and I am a Presenter/Journalist. We are currently making a 3 part documentary series for the BBC, about the disappearance of British Citizen Sarm Heslop off the island of St. John on March 8th 2021. I'm currently on St John, and looking for people to speak with who were either involved in the search party for Sarm, or knew her. If you would be willing to speak with me initially for a research chat - please WhatsApp me on: +44 (0) 77 181 08400. Thank you!

I'm traveling to Christiansted next week (last week of October 2024) and would love to hear how the sargasso seaweed situation is currently? I hoped to stay on the west end, but plans didn't pan out so I'm nervous about being closer to the "hot spots" of Christiansted....

Where’s the action at on STJ this weekend? I’m an old 40+ dude and it’s kinda quiet lol

Anything goin on, or everybody just keeping to themselves? It would nice to jam to some reggae or 80s tunes past 9 pm

If not, that’s okay, me and the bosslady can watch big bang theory and go to bed haha

I have friends coming to visit and I'd like to take them on a driving tour of St Croix. One day to explore East and lunch, then another day to explore west and lunch. I'm not that great at planning these things. What would be your itinerary for each and where would you go for lunch on both days?

Good evening! My spouse and I have been in STJ for a few days for our 20th anniversary and it has been incredible. We stayed near Cruz Bay for the first few days, and now I am in our new villa, near Coral Bay and I’m looking out my window at Tortola, wondering: “would it be worth a day excursion?” Or maybe we are better off enjoying more of these incredible STJ beaches? Anyone care to weigh in? Thanks in advance!

We have a party of 6 traveling to St. John. Should we rent 2 jeeps or one larger SUV to carry everyone? A family friend told us the larger SUV would be difficult to maneuver on the twisty roads. I find this hard to believe, but I’m a very experienced driver and don’t get phased by much on the road. We are staying at an Airbnb near Coral Bay for reference. We are planning on renting in St. Thomas to load up on groceries before taking the ferry.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to rent a dinghy in JVD and go over to Sandy Spit? Where can you go with a dinghy off JVD? I’ve only been able to find one group charter that seems to spend some time at the spit, the others just seem like a drive by. There’s only two of us so the cost of a private charter, which I know would be optimal, is just a lot. I have only been able to find info that is pretty old. It seems like water conditions are the biggest factor. TY!

Our trip to St John is due to begin this Saturday.....and our airbnb host just reached out saying "We are potentially expecting a strong storm, very likely a hurricane to pass close to the Virgin Islands. At this time it is expected to pass from Friday to Saturday. I would like to know if you would like to alter the dates of your reservation due to the possibility of not having electricity for the first day or so of your reservation as utility crews may be working to restore regional power outages. This is common here after a strong storm." 

So, my question is this....would this also impact the car ferry from St Thomas on Saturday? How bad would it be to come anyway? Our dates are not flexible on the backend of the trip. I just don't know enough about the "power outage" and how much it might impact the traveling. Anyone have any tips or insight?

EDITED to add: We did purchase trip insurance for accommodations and flights but really do not want to cancel.

We will be traviling to St John for the 4th time coming up. This will be our first time with our two girls, who are 9, and turning 7 in january. What are recomendations for children and cars on island? We are planning on not bringing any child related car seat stuff. We figured the van taxi in stt they’ll be squished on a bench seat between us, (and the same if we were taking taxis on stj). And we’ll be renting a jeep for the week on stj. Currently in the states, one child just uses the bottom part of a booster seat and seatbelt, and the younger uses a 2-1 high back booster with seatbelt. They are older, but im not sure if there are any specific laws, or just go with what we as parents feel comfortable with.

Hi All!

Similar to the post below mine - but we're honeymooning in St John!!

We have a quaint little Airbnb, renting a Rav4, and got our flights with miles. We are going on a budget, so we'll be avoiding any high end restaurants except for maybe a dinner.

Best places to visit? Activities to do? Fun restaurants or beach bars? Places to avoid?

We are planning to scuba dive - he's never been and has always wanted to. I'm sure we'll do some hikes, spend a lot of time just relaxing on the beach, snorkeling.. Gimme your must-dos! If there's anything we should see in St Thomas, drop it as well!

We cannot wait!!!

Looking for recommendations! We will staying in St. Thomas for a week at Marriott Frenchman’s Cove in December. This is also our first big vacation without family, so neither of us have any experience with the planning/logistics of vacationing. Restaurants, bars, hikes, water activities, island travel, spas, romantic things for couples to do- help us plan the best week!!

Hi I want to travel dance to VI and work at tootsys. Does anyone know anyone who has done that or knows what their housing accommodations are like ? Thank u just want the tea lol

In this article, there is a massive round up of where the wapa power outages have been discussed, the reasons why it's happening, and a list of businesses that have invested in alternative power www.islandrootscharters.com/charter-blog/wapa-power-outages-st-john-usvi
