Things to do
Get Ready Mango Lovers…For the Mango Melee St Croix
What is Mango Melee in St. Croix?
Mango Melee is a place where the community celebrates a festive time to introduce types of mangos, learn about the island culture, taste the mango recipes, quadrille dance, art, music, and fun. Mango Melee was created in 1997 as a family tradition. Foremost, the heritage of the botanical garden is a collaboration of the three USVI islands St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John, that propagated different plant species. To navigate native awareness and education on the type of plants that grow on the islands. The event also gives you the opportunity to learn about nature’s cultivation of plants and trees.
Soaring! Flying! It’s Ziplining!
Want to see St. Croix from incredible heights? Want to feel the breeze rush past you as you take in incredible sights? The Carambola Zipline is perfect for people looking for thrilling ways to explore the island. The ziplines were easily some of the highest and longest we have ever been on.
There’s An Underwater National Monument?
We have heard nothing but rave reviews for the Buck Island tour, so we knew we had to do it. A quick walk on the Christiansted Boardwalk led us to Caribbean Sea Adventures and their beautiful powerboat. Booking a tour to Buck Island was one of the best decisions of our trip yet.
Making Friends = More Adventure!
One of the advantages of Melanie and I visiting St. Croix was that Melanie’s cousin, Anthony, lives in St. Thomas. Since he travels back and forth from St. Croix to St. Thomas, he has friends in St. Croix that we’ve gotten to know. A couple of days ago, Anthony told us he was coming to St. Croix for the weekend. We never would have expected the adventures we had with him.
The East to Our West: Christiansted Boardwalk
Zane and I have stayed on the West of St. Croix for most of our time, but we realized it was time to venture past Frederiksted. The other side of the island was calling our name. After some deliberation, we chose our first destination: the Christiansted Boardwalk.
Bucket List Adventure: Exploring the British Virgin Islands from St Croix
In previous articles, I wrote about ways to island hop from St Croix to St Thomas via the Seaborne Seaplane and the new routes being offered by Fly The Whale Airlines. There are also plenty of routes offered by Cape Air. They are all fabulous options to hop islands quickly for a reasonable price. But looking further, I really want to explore beyond just the US Virgin Islands. So, I decided to do a little research and share my findings.
Golfing on St. Croix is Always a Par-ty!
Recently, I have become obsessed with the glorious sport of golfing. When my partner, Melanie, and I found out we were heading to St. Croix for a couple weeks, my instant reaction was to find the closest golf course to where we were staying. My heart leapt for joy when I saw that St. Croix has not one, but THREE main golf courses that visitors can play at. After weeks of bugging Melanie with my excitement (and asking her to be my caddy), I booked a tee time at Carambola Golf Club and got ready for one of the most beautiful rounds of my life.
“Sea” St. Croix from a Totally Different Angle: a Dazzling Sunset Cruise
My partner, Melanie, and I are new travelers to St. Croix. After a long day of snorkeling and soaking in the beauty of the island, we couldn’t imagine that our adventure-filled day could get any better. That was until our local friend told us about the most relaxing way to end such an exhilarating day: the Lyric Sails sunset cruise. St Croix is known for having one of the most beautiful sunsets in all of the Caribbean. From what we experienced, taking a sunset cruise may be one of the best decisions we made on our trip!
Put Fort Frederik On Your Travel Bucket List: History, Beautiful Views, and Cannons!
Zane and I had the opportunity of visiting Fort Frederik, or Frederiksfort, early this morning. As new travelers to St. Croix, we were eager to learn more about the island and its history. A mid-eighteenth-century fortress seemed the perfect place to submerse ourselves in St. Croix’s story. As we walked over to the fort, its blood red paint and massive cannons facing the ocean drew us in. We knew we were in for an adventure before we even made it through the door.
