Etiquette

Visiting the Virgin Islands is like stepping back in time, although we just call it island time around here. Grab a cool drink, take a deep breath, and imagine yourself in a quaint 1900's, rural town. Manners and patience are very well received around here. Greet the residents before getting down to business. "GOOD DAY" is the preferred acknowledgement before requesting information or services. Another very important consideration is attire. While we love soaking up the sun on our beaches, please remember to show respect by wearing shirts and cover-ups once you've left the beach and especially before entering business establishments. Finally, it is very likely that these islands may not have the same amenities you might be used to at home. The island of St. John is 70% national park and just about as remote as you can get, that is why we are here!
