Adventure Guide to the Virgin Islands (Caribbean Guides Series) (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix), the British Virgin Islands (Tortola through Anegada), and smaller islands (Norman, Salt, Guana, and the Dogs, among others) are there for the offing, hunkered in the Caribbean, with ubiquitous white beaches and coral reefs, and distinct island personalities awaiting exploration. To that end, Harry Pariser's guide is a great help, with hundreds of hotels (for all budgets), how to get around (ferries, taxis, sailing, chartering), dining options (native and foreign, budget and splurge), and the best spots for bird watching, hiking, golf, tennis, diving, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun.
