Thanks Parker for Watching!

​@IslandHopperTV how would you compare St Croix with Key West when I was in Key West I didn't like it I got into an argument with someone the thing is I didn't know I was on his property

[@TimothyZakaria]

​@@IslandHopperTVI was constantly bothered when I was in Key West I was there last January or February

[@c.flowers9755]

Please do not rent a car if you are not comfortable driving on the left side of the road. The roads are very narrow steep and hilly. I've gotten around just fine in a taxi

[@lwarteman]

Well at $170/day, I think I would pass. 😮

[@symrahchristopher9738]

The airport name is Cyril King not Cecil!! Thanks 😊

[@johnbosch1839]

Lived here almost 8 years, seen soo many tourists causing wrecks driving around on the wrong side of the road

[@Wait---What]

Yea get around just fine on a safari

[@LivinginArizona]

Nice to get a break from the desert every once in awhile...

[@GeorgeSawtooth]

Been to St. Croix in 2008 and it was beautiful and had gorgeous evenings that were magical. I want to go to St. John someday and enjoy the crystal clear water.

[@alansun70]

US Virgin Islands is smaller than Rhode Island. It'd be the smallest state as the 52nd state.

[@1707sherry]

Does st. Croix not have clear waters?

[@GeorgeSawtooth]

@@1707sherry Yes it does but St Johns clear waters are in calm protected coves where strong ocean waves are not really present.

[@mentlinc]

What was nice about the night life in St Croix?

[@GeorgeSawtooth]

@@mentlinc The boardwalk in Christiansted with its many restaurants and bars and just a wonderful atmosphere and admiring the ocean as you stroll.

Love how informative your video is. I'm planning a trip for my bday n may.

[@Mochiboba90]

I have been wanting to go to USVI and you’ve just lit a fire under me to go 👍🏼

[@HondoSauce]

Good review. I was on all three islands in 2019 during the hurricanes and all the people I met were amazing. I’ve wanted to go back but prices are astronomical for lodging. I don’t make a lot of money but I’d save for the experience that I had on St. John. Totally laid back and people help one another. No wonder why they call it Love City.

[@charleswagenseil5496]

Great tips! We’re looking forward to our trip to St. Thomas this spring.

[@DB-mz5sd]

Lived and worked on St Thomas for many years! Remember use extreme caution as crime is often and you won't see it reported in the paper!

[@TonyaTime118]

Hi have you been to Saint Croix recently? It's currently December 2022 my husband and I are thinking about going there sometime in January 2023 kind of a last-minute trip because I probably won't get to take another vacation until April. Anyway I read a lot of articles right so think white is not safe. Did you feel safe when you were there? Thank you

[@fatmayo2293]

Nice video with helpful information. Thank you.

Hello 👋

[@dearyvettetn4489]

Communications or data is good in the USVI as well. I recently took a week-long Caribbean cruise and the only time my phone received a signal was in St. Thomas. I don’t know how limited you are based on you service provider, mine is Verizon, but it was nice to get caught up on messages and download another audio book while we were in port.

[@dylanshaffer2184]

I was there for a week. It’s absolutely beautiful and I’m glad that the islands are a part of the USA. The people are really friendly, the ice cream is delicious, and the views are beautiful. You can fly into St. John via a seaplane from Seaborne, which is owned by Silver Airways. Do not drive if you are not comfortable with driving on the left as it is the only part of the USA that drives on the left. Kinda wish the BVI joined the USVI and became one large US territory or state.

[@dylanshaffer2184]

@N3V1KO because i experienced the video. But I want to go back

St. Croix has the best beaches hands down. Better cuisine on St. Croix and the history is richer. However St. Thomas does have its charm. Party goers go to St. Thomas but the relaxers go to St Croix.

[@tose917]

Awesome video. Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@80sbreaker]

driving in the islands is like nascar thight turns every 30 40 feets even in rainy down pouring rain very skillfull island driving thing

[@resin420]

more like rally 😂 but yeah st thomas driving is not for the weak

[@Txwealthygift]

St John: Trunk Bay best overall beach with clear water and snorkeling trail bright fish🐠 & good bar, Maho Bay (always packed,good bars) is a good beach for snorkeling with turtles(free too, turtles on right side facing looking outward) but the sand is rougher, Cinnamon Bay is good beach choppier water if windy & great photo opportunity as soon as you walk in with window sill beach in background, Hawksnest beach is good beach, Oppenheimer beach is great secluded beach(get there early), Francis Bay Beach is like Major gritty sand. There's lots more beaches but those are some off top of head.

[@jesseludwig8202]

Much more research needed Sir. You did not do these Virgin Islands justice.

[@QueenB-el7yk]

Plus he did not pronounce Magens Bay correctly.

I have been to all 3 islands. St. Croix is by far my fave for the landscape the mountains. St. John would be a second for exclusivity

[@zagyz1675]

Going there end of June any recommendations for places to check out?

[@timhendel8256]

Same here, St Croix is it! If you LOVE Disney, you won't like St. Croix

[@bullseyepewfessor6393]

I've been debating on which island to go to. Think I'm deciding St. Croix, simply because there isn't alot of information about it on here as much as St. Thomas, and St. John. The mystery of St. Croix has got me lol

Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening! Always say that out of respect, goes a long way!! Recommend going to St John very early to get a parking spot on beaches! If you go early enough you can beach hop, like two or three beaches a day. Although the beaches are close, each beach is dramatically different!!

[@lifeskater9899]

Opening shot, looks like you were at John Brewer's Bay (beach). Grew up there, would swim and watch the airplanes land. That runway was extended back to the sea years ago due to a plane crash I believe in 1975. Pilot overshot the runway, went into a gas station that was at the other end of the runway. Some died.

[@Rasworth]

It was actually April of 1976 was an AA flight from JFK to STT my uncle and his wife was supposed to be on that flight and they missed it … 1st flight he said he ever missed lol

We always stayed on Water island when we go.

[@traviscriddle7743]

I was in St. Thomas when Fiona hit. Got stuck for a few days. Before the storm hit it was great. We stayed at Margaritaville. They upped the price for the room for the extra 2 days. No one could come or go due to the storm. Very shady business practices in my opinion. Moved to a different place by the airport when we could.

What do you mean Medical clearance? Is that still required

Hi there! What's it like to live there? I was thinking about working there as an attorney for a couple of years (for fun). Thanks in advance!

[@lifeskater9899]

Visit first. Get a feel of the atmosphere and environment, talk to the locals. Visit the Superior Court. Always say "Good morning" or "Good night" to any local first ,before conversing, otherwise it's considered rude not doing so. Apts are expensive, as well as houses. Same for electricity (WAPA), food and clothing. Some foods are imported, plus expensive for doing so, some are home grown you can by at Market Square, or supermarket. Some people, when moving there, have their cars shipped there. Expensive. Also, and very important, consider hurricane season, June-Sept. The Islands can be hit hard and depending on your location and in which direction the wind/rain blows, you could lose either your apt, or house, or be lucky and not lose anything. Luck of the draw. Water is considered gold-it's literally valuable due to low rainfall. Not trying to discourage you, just giving you the facts.

[@staceyrschwartz]

It's the opposite of visiting. Very expensive horribly expensive

[@tbreeze79]

I lived in Hawaii for 6 years. I work in the federal field and I am thinking of transferring to the Virgin Islands.

[@Caribbeanking365]

The way he pronounced Tortola is disrespectful lol. Also, I’m tired of mainland Americans minimizing St. Croix and it’s beauty! Edit: St. Croix definitely has the best food. And the island is a bit more spacious so you won’t feel cramped. Saint Thomas and John are significantly smaller. Don’t let the fact that the capital being on Saint Thomas fool you. The capital is only there for logistical reasons.

May I ask you a HUGE question...We want to fly into St. Thomas from California and stay for about 6-7 days, then take ferry with our 2 luggages to St. John and stay for 6-7 days, and then take another ferry to British Virgin Island and stay for another 6-7 days, and when it's over take ferry back, and then fly back to California (round trip, set dates coming back from British Islands). Is that doable? Thanks for your help!
