St Croix Snorkelling at Buck Island with Caribbean Sea Adventures
During my Caribbean Cruise on Viking Sea, I took my first snorkelling trip in St Croix. It was the first time I had seen those incredible blue Caribbean waters and it was like a dream come true to me. When I came out of the water I was actually moved to tears by the beauty and calmness I experienced underneath the water. It truly was like another word.

In 1948, the Government of the Virgin Islands established Buck Island and its surrounding reefs as a territorial park. In 1961, control of the island was transferred to the National Park Service, and later that year President John F. Kennedy, in recognition of the need to preserve for scientific and educational interests “one of the finest marine gardens in the Caribbean Sea,” established Buck Island Reef National Monument by Presidential Proclamation (No. 3443). Finally, on January 17, 2001, President William J. Clinton expanded the Monument’s size by 18,135 acres. (excerpt from

Buck Island & Snorkeling with Caribbean Sea Adventures
We came to St. Croix for a family vacation..we were due to leave on the 13th, but our flight got cancelled due to the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max plane. We had originally passed on the thought of taking a Buck Island Cruise due to the cost for our large family. Thankfully, my Sister-in-Law back home saw a Facebook ad from Caribbean Sea Adventures offering half off prices for stranded travellers!! Lets go!!
Ultimate Travel Guide // St.Croix, USVI - hidden gem of Caribbean Americas // Christiansted
In this Episode our family got to the island of St.Croix, USVI. The first destination of ours was the old historic town of Christiansted, - the lively, bustling heart of the island. St.Croix is reach in history, charming and less crowded than other US Virgin Islands as it lays in splendid isolation, about 40 miles, from other Virgin Islands. The island almost completely surrounded by a coral reef barrier system and known by diving enthusiasts as an underrated place for diving!
Personally, for me it was pretty difficult to make this video as we had spent quite a long time on the island discovering it on land and underwater. We love so much about the island with its amazing the friendliest atmosphere, charming historical oblique and modern life, that it makes difficult to choose what to show... than I decided that this is our traveling diary and I’m not a professional film maker... I’ll just show you a little of everything! ;))
In this Episode you will find us:
0-2:22 - Sailing from St.Thomas to Ct.Croix, USVI, surrounded by clear turquoise water of Caribbean Sea, and seeing a playful pond of dolphins;

8:00-2:18 - wandering around historic district, enjoying peaceful and friendly vibes of old town, the feel given by charming courtyards, shaded walkways and stone arches. There are a lot of points of interest on the way, historical ruins and old churches. St.Croix is famed by its artists and we will be visiting couple of art galleries on the way. Also you will find many interesting small boutiques with assortment of truly unique goods, handmade jewelry and so on for duty free prices. And this is only a brief glimpse of the old town!
12:27-14:59 - Chilling by the white sandy beach of Buck Island Reef National Monument and snorkeling its sparkling clear turquoise water, discovering variety of rich marine life by following underwater marked trail;
14:59-16:14 - Having fun at St.Patrick’s Day Parade, - the joyful, colorful and loud event!
16:15-16:47 - Starting learning diving! That’s how the brand new hobby of our family was born! Known as diver’s paradise of the Caribbean, St.Croix is a perfect place to start your underwater adventure. There are a good choice of good dive shops, plenty of dive sites (your learning will never be boring!) and really professional instructors who you can trust!
16:15-17:46 - You will never forget your 1st dive! This is truly unique and amazing experience!

We flew from San Juan to St. Croix for a few days of fun in Christiansted. A boat trip to Buck Island with Caribbean Sea Adventures was the highlight! From St. Croix, it was on to the Spanish Virgin Islands of Vieques and Culebra and then back to the big island in Fajardo for a trip to Palomino Island. (next video coming up.)

St Thomas, along with St Croix and St John, form the US Virgin Islands (USVI). These islands are located in the Caribbean Sea. The USVI is a territory of the United States so individuals born here are US Citizens.
The Virgin Islands of St Thomas, St John and St Croix were previously Danish colonies during the 17th and early 18th centuries. The United States then purchased the island from Denmark for $25 million dollars in gold coins.
Tourism, trade and rum production are the primary economic activities of the US Virgin Islands. St Thomas is most noted for its lush vegetation, breathtaking views, and pristine blue waters which attract roughly 2.5 - 3 million tourists a year.
The capital and largest city of St Thomas is Charlotte Amalie with a population of 10,354 (2010, US Census). The city is named after Charlotte Amalie of Hesse-Kassel who was married to King Christian V thereby becoming Queen of Denmark. Charlotte Amalie is known for its Danish colonial architecture.
The island has a significant association with pirates. Castles named after the pirates Blackbeard (Edward Teach) and the mythical Bluebeard overlook Charlotte Amalie.
Points of interest in St Thomas include Bluebeard's Hill, Legislature of the Virgin Islands, Fort Christian, Vendors Plaza, Emancipation Garden, Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Memorial Park, Government House, 99 Steps, Haagensen House, Three Queens Statue, Crown House, Blackbeard's Castle, Estate Catherineberg, Drake's Seat, and Magens Bay. Breathtaking views can be seen from Mountain Top and Charlotte Amalie Overlook.

Best Things to do in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands
There are a lot of great things to do in St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands from snorkeling the Buck Island Reef National Monument to touring around Frederiksted or exploring the waterfront in Christiansted to enjoying some delicious tasty food. You can also go searching for scenes from The Bachelor's Sean Lowes season 17 episode 7 when they stay at The Buccaneer Hotel.
To learn more about my trip to St. Croix read this post from my friend Adventurous Kate:

Buck Island National Reef Monument, USVI
A visit to the United States Virgin Islands is not done properly without sailing to the one and only, Buck Island Reef National Monument. An iconic symbol of St. Croix and one of only three underwater trails in all North America. On the barrier reef side of the island, free dive the depths or snorkel the shallows with lemon sharks, giant barracudas, and tons of friendly angel fish!
Over to the other half of the island you will find Turtle Beach, but be careful of the deadly green apples (remember what happened to Snow White) and don't tread on the turf of the nesting leatherbacks, green, or hawksbill sea turtles!
A hike to the top for a 360 view of the island is a must, especially if you visit during humpback season.
Take your own vessel or one of the many charter boats out for a full day and you won't regret it. Stay overnight if you can :)
& remember to always bring your rashie.

8 Hours In The Royal Caribbean: St Thomas
This isn't just another last-minute vacation. This is a unique way to see a unique world in St. Thomas, whether you're eating the most delicious food on the ocean (literally) or you're rising above the ocean (again, literally). Because every conversation with a local, every step through the sand, every cheers over cocktails is more than just a chance for a selfie. It's how you quench that thirst for adventure, that thirst that keeps you searching for thrills all over the world. This is how Tyson spends 8 hours in St. Thomas. How will you?

Carnival Pride Cruise Vlog 2019 - Part 6: St. Croix, Caribbean Sea Adventures, Snorkel - ParoDeeJay
In this episode, we've reached our first port of call... Frederiksted, St. Croix! Join us as we catch the shuttle over to Christiansted for an independent tour with Caribbean Sea Adventures called Snorkeler's Paradise. We're headed to Buck Island Reef National Monument, which is a U.S. National Park, which also means that we can't film for commercial purposes without a permit, so there's no footage from the park in this video (see below on how one might locate that footage)...
Find Caribbean Sea Adventures on the internet machine here:
There may or may not be some Buck Island footage here:
We're back on the Carnival Pride for a 14-day Journeys cruise to the Southern Caribbean with stops in St. Croix, St. Kitts, Martinique, Barbados, St. Maarten, San Juan, and Grand Turk. We were slated to sail from November 3-17, 2019 but ended up with a bonus sea day, thanks to an unexpected storm at the very end of the cruise that delayed our return to Baltimore!
