Adventure Guide to the Virgin Islands

A complete update of this bestselling guide to the U.S. and British Virgins, this edition includes the changes resulting from last year's hurricane devastation. Focusing on outdoor activities, the author explores every island, each with its unique charm. He takes readers to all of the sights, especially those off the beaten track, telling them the best way to get there, how much the trip will cost and when they should visit. Maps.

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.
