A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
You’re high up and behind the wheel of a four-wheel-drive vehicle, built for adventure. A seemingly endless jungle is to your left, while on your right is a view out to the Coral Sea. Heading toward a forest that’s existed for more than 150 million years, the view ahead as you travel the Great Barrier Reef Drive makes this an Aussie road trip of a lifetime — it’s where the rainforest meets the reef.
Buck Island offers an unparalleled experience, featuring one of the world’s finest beaches alongside an exceptional snorkeling site. Located just 20 minutes by boat from Christiansted, St. Croix, Buck Island represents only one percent of the Buck Island Reef National Monument. This unique park is designed to protect the fragile coral reef and marine ecosystem around the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Reputable dive charters operate under a special license from the U.S. National Park Service, providing a responsible and guided experience.
