Tours & Activities in Virgin Islands

The Virgin Islands were named by Christopher Columbus in 1493 after Saint Ursula and her 11,000 virgin martyrs.

The U.S. Virgin Islands are an unincorporated territory of the United States, while the British Virgin Islands remain a British Overseas Territory—they are two separate jurisdictions.

Coral World Ocean Park on St. Thomas houses one of the largest living coral reef exhibits in the world and an underwater observatory.

The islands sit outside the Atlantic hurricane belt's most active zone, making them statistically safer during hurricane season than many Caribbean destinations.

Maho Bay on St. John is home to one of the most pristine underwater snorkel trails in the Caribbean, where coral reefs begin just metres from the shore.

The Virgin Islands were a major hub of the Caribbean sugar and rum trade in the 17th and 18th centuries, with ruins of plantation estates still visible today.
