What to do and see in U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

August 10, 2021 Malia Yoakum

Made up of St. Croix, St. John and St. Thomas, the laidback USVI offer sophisticated dining, turquoise waters and quaint towns. On St. Croix, Christiansted's colorful Danish Colonial buildings provide a lovely backdrop for dining or sailing. Underwater coral gardens are heaven for divers. On St. Thomas, shopping mecca Charlotte Amalie has hopping nightlife. Tranquil St. John offers quiet trails, secluded coves and lively Cruz Bay's shops and bars. Ferries and local air services link the islands.

Cow and Calf Rocks

At a depth of 40 feet, this shallow dive is a popular spot for novice snorkelers, which features twin rocks that pierce the surface connected by a labyrinth of swim-through tunnels, archways and caves.

We visited these two dive sites on 5/23/17. Visibility was excellent (60+ ft.) with little to no current and pretty calm seas (2-4ft waves at most). The sites are full of caverns and swim through holes in coral formations that are home to a wide variety of sea life. We encountered some of the largest lobster and hermit crabs I have ever seen along with a majestic lion fish, an eagle ray, and many, many more species. There are many nooks and crannies for some of the more shy creatures to hide in, so bring a good dive light along with an underwater camera for some nice pictures. This part of St. Thomas is protected, so you are not allowed to grab any of the large vacated conch shells you find, nor are you allowed to grab any of the lobsters you are bound to encounter. There are better sites if you are looking for turtles, but this is one of the better ones on St. Thomas.

Reviewed By leighi2019 - Greenville, United States

Awesome Hike with Awesome Views! I recommend tennis shoes or hiking boots. Best for early morning or late afternoon as it gets hot-amazing views. Landscape dotted with cactus along the way. Our favorite hike while in St John! Hit the Salt Pond beach afterwards! Others have provided information on where to park and how to get to the hike. Very cool to cross over the Blue Cobblestone Beach on the way up!
