Red Point Blow Hole
on St. Thomas is one of the most dramatic eco-attractions in the US
Virgin Islands
It's just easier...
to be eco-friendly in the US Virgin Islands
Explore 'inner space' in the USVI by choosing
one of our world-class eco-resorts. Whether you want to vacation
'close to nature' in one of our campgrounds or ecolodges on St. John - or
help 'save our planet' by vacationing in a resort that follows
'environmental friendly' guidelines on St. Thomas or St. Croix - you'll have a great time discovering
the natural beauty of the US Virgin Islands.
No matter where you stay, you'll want to
explore the beauty of the new Magen's Bay Discovery Trail and the
Botanical Gardens on St. Thomas and visit Buck Island off
the coast of St. Croix. Since two thirds of St. John is covered by
the Virgin Islands National Park - it is an exceptional opportunity to
explore our pristine island environment.
If you're lucky enough to visit St. Thomas
from January through April, join us for the annual migration of humpback
whales along the north shore of St. Thomas. Whale watching tours by
catamaran can be arranged by your hotel. The South coast of
St. Thomas is endowed with the attractive and
protected Mangrove Lagoon Wildlife Sanctuary & Marine Reserve of
exceptional natural value and is filled with scenic contrasts: manglar
islands, rocky cliffs, shallow clear waters with sea grass beds, ponds
and panoramic ridge lines. These natural areas which provide a rich
nursery area for nearby offshore coral reefs and homes to nesting
egrets, pelicans, herons and terns, offer recreational and educational
opportunities for all.
On St. Croix, there are educational hiking
tours during the fall Leatherback Turtle nesting season at the Sandy Point
Wildlife Refuge.
For
Birdwatchers, there are over 160 species
of birds in the US Virgin Islands including brown pelicans, white cattle egrets,
brown booby, frigate birds, Mangrove cuckoos, yellow-breasted bananaquilts,
warblers, herons and more... The Virgin Islands National
Park on St. John is the center of most birdwatching in the Virgin Islands
and is easily reached by ferry from St. Thomas. St. Croix
has popular bird watching areas in The West End Forrest and Sandy Point
Wildlife Refuge.
Birdwatchers on St. Thomas
enjoy the Moonlight Kayak Tour in the Mangrove Wildlife Sanctuary to
view the prolific nesting birds at sunset.
The following hotels eco-lodges and eco-friendly resorts have
special programs that help preserve the environment and let you enjoy the
beauty of our islands in an unspoiled environment.
