This book provided valuable information in preparation for my first-time cruise to the Virgin Islands. I would highly recommend this guide to anyone traveling to the Eastern Caribbean.

Best Available Book on the Virgin Islands

My wife and I just got back from our 3 1/2 week honeymoon in the Virgin Islands. We island hopped, starting in St. Croix, then moved on to St. Thomas, and wrapped things up in St. John where we spent a lot of time exploring Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and the other British Virgin Islands. We took several books on the islands, and this was HANDS-DOWN the best. Look no further, this is the best book available on the Virgin Islands.

Great !

This book covers all essentials for travel to the Virgin Islands. It is much more in-depth than Fodor's & seems more updated. Fodor's 2000 edition is a little outdated. The 1st time I went to the BVI, I took this book & it really helped. It is an excellent resource to the beaches, shopping, & places to stay. Even though I have been to the BVI several times, this summer I am taking this new updated 5th edition for reference
