What to do and see in Christiansted, St. Croix: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

June 4, 2021 Karren Gelb

If you love the beach, but also want a little culture, you'll love Christiansted, one of St. Croix's two waterfront towns. Historic churches, charming courtyards, shaded walkways, stone arches, antique lampposts and rows of restored townhouses add to the city's appeal. Relax on a tranquil, white sand beach or float in the aquamarine water. Enjoy the many shops, boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants, or visit attractions like Fort Christianvaern, the Customs House and the Old Scale House.

Prince was awesome! He has so much knowledge about the islands. He was prompt on picking up the phones and returning calls. He picked us up and took us around the island (St.Croix). The journey was super fun. He made sure we were engaged all the time with this sense of humor and little surprises. He made sure we covered all the places on the island. Would definitely recommend him to others!! P.S: Beer drinking pigs are the best part of the trip!

We have done several tours including the night bioluminescence tour with Virgin Kyack as well as rented kyacking and self toured. The service iand guides are top notch as are the Hobie kyacks. The pedal mirage Hobie is used on most of the tours so even the most novice kayakers can feel comfortable. The rates are quite reasonable starting at $40 for a 3-4 hour tandem self guided tour. This is always a highlight of our trips to St Croix.

Fort Christiansvaern

An imposing yellow Danish fort built to defend the Christiansted harbor.

Reviewed By StefanieH443 - Lincoln, United States

We found the history of this fort to be so interesting, and although some exhibits were closed due to Covid and renovations, the park ranger told us all about the fort and gave us a binder to do a self-guided tour. The fort is beautifully maintained and includes a dungeon. The history of the fort and the island itself is very sad, but this is a great place to learn about it. Right now, there is no admission fee, but that will obviously change in the future. Parking is free in the small lot next door.

Buck Island Charters

Reviewed By V1527XJmichaelh - Raleigh, United States

The experience was awesome with Captain Carl and his first mate. The day (3/8) started out cloudy with a little rain, but Carl said it would clear up/burn off by the time we reached the island and he was right. We snorkeled the underwater trail for about an hour, being led by the first mate (young lady who also works at Duggan's Reef -- sorry I can't remember her name). Saw lots of fish of all kinds and a few good sized barracuda. Then we boarded the Teroro II to sail to Turtle Beach. Since my older son and I were ready to end the snorkeling, Capt Carl offered to let us drop back into the water at the buoys and snorkel back to Turtle Beach (about 1/2 mile). On the snorkel back we saw an eagle rays, a couple of green turtles, a large porcupine fish, and a 5-6 ft nurse shark (my first). We had a great time and the price was very fair for a 5 hour excursion.

We came back. 2nd stay at the resort. Nice small beach with views of Green Cay and Buck Island. Snorkeling with lots and lots of fish. Kayaking or SUP is also an option. All the gear you need is available for rent, or free if you stay at the resort. A little piece of paradise
