Here’s how you can explore St. Croix’s neighboring islands…

Fly the Whale
Fly The Whale is now offering nine daily trips on weekdays, and eight on weekends, between St. Thomas and St. Croix.

Fly the Whale uses Cessna Grand Caravans, known in the aircraft industry for its passenger comfort, safety, and flexible mission capability. This aircraft features a spacious, low-noise, air-conditioned cabin that is easily accessible and offers superior comfort. Fly the Whale also offers a program for frequent commuters, just ask about the WhalePak.

Bohlke International Airways
If you are looking for luxury travel, Bohlke International Airways offers private charter flights to neighboring Caribbean islands. A group of eight can charter Bohlke’s KingAir B200 and it will be more affordable, faster, and much more fun than flying commercial!

QE IV Ferry
If air travel is not your cup of tea, there is now a ferry running twice daily, seven days a week, between St. Croix and St. Thomas. Locally designed and built especially for island hopping, the QE IV Ferry’s innovative four-hulled design allows for a smooth and swift ride. The ferry terminal on St. Croix is located at Gallows Bay in Christiansted, and the St. Thomas terminal is located east of the Charlotte Amalie seaplane port. As with taking the seaplane over, you can take a ferry to St. John or the BVI’s after reaching St. Thomas. This is an affordable option to get to and from St. Thomas, plus you get to enjoy being on the water.
