The same situation with the usurpation of the beaches occurs in Puerto Rico.

@@davidlapla963that’s why they didn’t bother to help on the Islands with the hurricanes that pass through. They want the locals to move stateside/mainland and redevelop the existing neighborhoods, probably into newer luxury homes or condos for the wealthy Americans. What they did to Hawaii recently and the fires.
Can you name specific properties that practice what you describe? Don’t get me wrong, I look out over Villa Montana (Shacks) which used to be cattle and mango trees, but i can still walk on/to the beach. Same with Copamarina in Guanica thats been there for decades. I can still walk on “their” beach, no problem. Do I wish my view was cattle, coconut, and mango trees? Absolutely. You are spot on about government corruption in PR. A glaring example is the round condo constructed directly on top of Playa Santa. That project reeks of corruption. As a wise radio personality once said…”follow the money.”
St. Thomas is a really nice island. However it is the most developed and “westernized” island out of the 3 main islands that makes up the USVI. St. John’s has all the nature, views, and trails. St. Croix is the more laid back island, it has some mountain ranges but you get the real Caribbean vibe there.
That sign is so weird, it seems like it’s just a ploy by the locals to not let people ruin the beach! That beach is so beautiful and you proved that walking that secret passage is worth it! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to see so many beautiful beaches. Thank you for your efforts in sharing everything about U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS! Congratulations on turning 35. I wish you happiness every day and reach one million subscriptions this year! 👍🥰🙏
A little wilderness but a picturesque bay in lush greenery.Chris,on your birthday,I wish you mostly health,happiness and lots of travel experiences with your beautiful wife.Enjoy life,you two!❤
You missed out on St Croix the 3rd USVI. Sort of a cross between St. Thomas and St John in terms of development. Also much flatter and easier to drive around. Take a short ferry there. 2 main towns Christensted and Frederiksted
Yeah we didn’t have time, sounds great from what we have heard. We actually liked the mountainous terrain though, on Tortola it was amazing because the roads were quite high
Appreciate all the good footage. You both do a rad time staying positive. I lived on Maui for five years and property owners would put up the no trespassing signs just to decrease liability if someone gets hurt. They didn’t mind locals hiking on the land, but tried to reduce their risk by allowing it. Speaking of which, do the kalalau on Kauai one day. Top three hike in the world and hit me up if you want some secrets on Maui.
The ease of access to beaches of the British Virgin Islands vs the American Virgin Islands, may be due to British common law where the Crown owns most of the coastline, permitting broad rights of access to the foreshore
Happy Birthday Chris, sometimes you just have to make the best of a cloudy day ! Great video, saved some time for people that will be traveling there with the closed off beaches and such. I always enjoy your videos...
Happy belated Birthday Chris!! Good celebration with the lovely Carol. Keep the good work coming!! Thank you for entertain us with the great videos!! Much health and success for both!!
Check out Hull Bay sometime! Great little Cafe there and Ricky Gonzalas is a great fishing guide out of there. He will take you out to go do whatever you want too. Snorkel, spearfish, trolling, etc. There's a decent surf break out there to the left too a ways that his daughter and friends surf.
Chris, Happy Birthday to you today’s in great joy & peace January of 2024❤❤❤I wish you many years to come @ the aged of 35 years old in January of 2024❤❤❤
We took one weeklong trip to St. Thomas with a day trip to St. John. After experiencing St. John we never went back to St. Thomas! That was 15 years ago.
Happy belated birthday man! Love y’all’s channel, been following you guys since 2019 and your videos were super helpful navigating through 🇵🇷 our first time 🙏. Keep up the good work, cheers to more life and adventures!
Congratulations to you guys for your new remarkable video this week to shows this amazing island in January of 2024❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journeys always in peace 2024❤❤❤
Happy 🎊 Birthday ! Really enjoyed your videos. I really gonna skip St Thomas and go straight to St John. St Thomas gave me the same unpleasant vibe that I got when visiting The Cayman Islands. No Caribbean soul.
Currently staying on St John, I've never actually had the chance to explore st thomas much, besides the taxi ride to the ferry. What is your favorite virgin island? What is your favorite caribbean country?
I believe it is time to do a video on your tips and tricks of using a GoPro and what accessories are needed. You do an amazing job with GoPro. Thank you both for the hard work. Information on what apps and creator tools you recommend also.
The trail was closed because too many people would get injured going through there, and nobody knows where they are to get help. It's for safety reasons.
So nice to see more of St Thomas with you guys! I totally agree with Carol about not getting the real Caribbean vibe there. That is one thing I like about cruising- we get a sense if it is an island that we would return to. Was it the Mountain Top that you were showing in the last clip? It is the main tourist spot but it does have beautiful views and all the cheap tourist stuff plus the daiquiris 😅 Easier to rent cars and drive there (except for traffic) I would not even think about it in some of the other islands. Happy travels
The ginger beer you tried is from Bermuda. It's one of the two ingredients of the classic Bermudian drink: Dark & Stormy. The other one is Gosling Rum. I think it's sign. You need to visit Bermuda.
Sailing a boat in USVIs and BVIs- Catamarans are very popular and make up 80% of the charter sailboats. The BVIs have 4-5 charter co's, big name ones plus smaller co's. Most catamarans have 4 cabins (charter layout), start around $9K/wk in low season and 30% more for high season (Jan-April). This is for "bareboat" (you are the captn and no provisions). You need to have considerable documented experience in sailing a boat of similar size/characteristics and or have taken certain hands on courses from sailing schools and have earn a certificate. Otherwise you will need to hire a captn at around $200/day. Most sailboats rented/chartered in USVIs- stay in USVI's as there is considerable extra expenses to sail the boats in BVIs. To sail the BVIs, much better to rent from charter co's in BVIs. There are per day per person gov't fees in BVIs. A co called seabatticals, rents in BVIs for a bit less for a week and also for 28 days for much less on a per day cost. The boats are a bit older. Best to have 2 or 3 other couples to share the cost. You might be able to crew on a private sailboat sailing in USVIs or BVIs- there are websites for boat owners looking for crews, but you need to get some experience sailing (or be a good cook) to be considered.
Sailed BVIs as a kid with parents, took tall ship cruise there 20 yrs ago. Stayed at Maho Bay Eco Resort on St John 20 yrs ago (no longer exists). I follow some Ytube cruisers who have gone to BVIs both in their own sailboats (Sailing Doodles, Sailing GBU) and charters. I considered seabatticals for 26 days on a 4 cabin cat, but required entire extended family doing staggered 1 week trips but logistics and vacations didn't work out. The cost was like $100 US per cabin per night before food/drinks ,so really affordable for BVIs. @@JumpingPlaces
Happy Birthday Chris! Have you been to Mentawi? So appreciate all the great info that is so useful!! Will give St. Thomas a pass, was there years ago but not appealing with all the contstraints.
Try St thomas on May when the weather is just right and check out Magens Bay,Cocki beach ,Linquist beach and even Sapphire beach the water colors come alive then.
We were in the Virgin Islands in December as well. I've been watching RUclips videos because I miss it so much. I've been binge watching your channel since I discovered it. Carol, what products do you use on your hair. Mine is just like yours.
Great stuff guys....thanks. Only the backround music could be changed more often and choosing some better one tthat combine with each destination better...
Well as far as the breakfast price as they say in Australia “ mate they saw you coming “ .Try Dominica and also Martinique but I did go there in 1992 hopefully neither has changed much they were both very beautiful Martinique in an arrondissement of Paris so it’s expensive if you buy things imported from France.
Watch all our US Virgin Islands Videos here:

Mountain ranges on St. Croix? 🤔 It’s the flattest of the three main islands.

Thanks! We loved the jungle trail to the first beach :D
@@JumpingPlaces I love it also! 👍🥰👌❤
Not a ploy, just the truth of how land grabs are happening
Happy birthday 🎉Chris soz bit late. Thanks again for amazing video 😅
If anybody is going to ruin a beach it will be the locals.
Happy birthday Chris. What man wouldn't be happy with such a beautiful life partner! Hope you and Carol have many happy years together!
Thanks so much
A little wilderness but a picturesque bay in lush greenery.Chris,on your birthday,I wish you mostly health,happiness and lots of travel experiences with your beautiful wife.Enjoy life,you two!❤
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Chris; thank you both so much for bringing us with you on these gorgeous islands !
Thanks!
Yes chartering a Catamaran in the BVI’s is the best way to see the Islands. We did it a few times before and was always the ultimate Vacation
Can definitely imagine!
Happy Birthday Chris 🎂
Always a pleasure watching your videos 👍🙂
Thank you so much 😀
Happy 35th birthday Chris 🥂🎂🍾 Let you and Carol travel for many years to come!
Fingers crossed!
Been here 3 times, loved the small villas w/private pools!! Love the nature/wildlife, chickens running around..Love your videos.

What a wonderful birthday present to be in the virgin Islands.
i have noticed from all your videos that wherever you go that has sun, you bring the clouds and the rain with you.🙂
It’s sunny in basically all our videos lol
well done to Carol for running along the sand and spinning around, if I did that I would fall flat on my face 😆
Check out Hull Bay sometime! Great little Cafe there and Ricky Gonzalas is a great fishing guide out of there. He will take you out to go do whatever you want too. Snorkel, spearfish, trolling, etc. There's a decent surf break out there to the left too a ways that his daughter and friends surf.

I hope more new videos are coming up soon this January of 2024 from Saint Thomas to shows these amazing beaches in peace 2024❤❤❤
Most of the tourists go to Megan’s bay beach! You pay a small fee and there are lots of emmedities
We took one weeklong trip to St. Thomas with a day trip to St. John. After experiencing St. John we never went back to St. Thomas! That was 15 years ago.

Glad you enjoyed it
Happy birthday Chris, thanks for the videos. Always be happy with Carol.
Thanks 👍
Go to St. John and enjoy the beach, hikes, national parks hikes and relax HB🎉
Happy Birthday Chris! I enjoy Jumping Places so much.
Happy belated Birthday Chris; travelling like you makes one look at least 5 years younger😉 Can't wait to find out where you guys are going to next!
Thanks🎉
It’s freezing cold here in Philadelphia and this is the perfect video to warm me up.
Happy to hear it :D
Happy Birthday Chris…Awesome video…Loved St Thomas when I was there
Awesome thanks for sharing… Happy birthday Chris and many more.
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Chris! The. views and beaches are gorgeous anyway! 😊
Thank you! 😃
Happy birthday Chris, there's some expensive prices out there, more expensive than the UK, looks a lovely set of islands though, enjoy!
Thanks! 😃
The housing prices in the BVI are considerably more than the USVI. Generally, 20-30% more for the same property.
Happy 35th birthday Chris! Thanks for all the great videos. Maybe I’ll run into you and Carole one day soon
Thanks!
Congratulations to you guys for your new remarkable video this week to shows this amazing island in January of 2024❤❤❤I wish you guys safe journeys always in peace 2024❤❤❤
Stunning. ☺ That cruise ship at the end, is huge as a small village 😂 Take care you two, from almost minus 20C Norway 😄 ♥♥
Wow -20 :O
@@JumpingPlaces Yes, its crazy cold. Will get warmer over the weekend 😊
💕Amazing Vlog 💕
12:06 That's cheaper than in Bermuda, where it's made (though bottled overseas). It's pretty good, especially with rum.
Gracias por compartir el diario de vuestros viajes. Felicidades a Kristian por su cumpleaños 🎉. 🎉🎉 saludos desde 🇧🇻❄️🌨🌧
Yes, the flag with the eagle is the USVI flag. Very nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the info
Happy Birthday Chris.
Thanks for the show….

Happy 🎊 Birthday ! Really enjoyed your videos. I really gonna skip St Thomas and go straight to St John. St Thomas gave me the same unpleasant vibe that I got when visiting The Cayman Islands. No Caribbean soul.
We went there a few years ago but never saw any of that. Nice! Only saw what the cruise line area was like
Love seeing the Virgin Islands through your videos! May I suggest you plan a trip to Bermuda? I think it would make a great video!
Would be cool!
Happy 35th birthday Chris! I love watching your videos 🎉
Thanks!
St John has some of the best beaches in the world !! (Trunk Bay) 🔥
Happy Birthday,Chris ! 🎈
Currently staying on St John, I've never actually had the chance to explore st thomas much, besides the taxi ride to the ferry.
What is your favorite virgin island?
What is your favorite caribbean country?

I’m from there and I’ve never been on that trail nor have I heard of it lol
Nice vid❤ thx
They are not cheap those islands 🤣🤣 I’ve booked Jamaica 🇯🇲 for 3 weeks from 23 August, can’t wait 🍺🍺
We loves Jamaica, amazing vibe there
ASSISTI O VIDEO E CURTIR PRINT ❤❤❤
Happy Birthday Chris💥💥💥many more from Arizona!
Thanks!
The trail was closed because too many people would get injured going through there, and nobody knows where they are to get help.
It's for safety reasons.
what a jungle out there! Happy Bday youngster!
The jungle trail was great :D Thanks!
The best way to explore all the islands is to charter a boat for a month.
Loved the video. Happy Birthday Chris.
Thanks so much!
Happy Birthday 🎈 🎂 🥳 The rain ☔️ can be very very beautiful though
Happy Birthday Chris!!!! 🎉
Happy Birthday Chris, greetings from The Netherlands.🤗

Paradise point, definitely the best view we saw on the island
If you haven't been I recommend the Island of Grenada. Sweetest people on the planet and beautiful. I can give you a list of places to visit there.
The ginger beer you tried is from Bermuda. It's one of the two ingredients of the classic Bermudian drink: Dark & Stormy. The other one is Gosling Rum. I think it's sign. You need to visit Bermuda.
For sure, We have no idea how it would be there at all. Looking at pictures it looks like quite similar to the caribbean?
I enjoy your videos. Have a Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Chris from 🇨🇦
Thanks!
Great stuff guys....thanks.
Only the backround music could be changed more often and choosing some better one tthat combine with each destination better...
The majority of the time there isn’t specific music available for us to use that is copyright free, so just got to work with what’s available
Well as far as the breakfast price as they say in Australia “ mate they saw you coming “ .Try Dominica and also Martinique but I did go there in 1992 hopefully neither has changed much they were both very beautiful Martinique in an arrondissement of Paris so it’s expensive if you buy things imported from France.
the water looks really clean.
It is 😀
Happy birthday. I hope your day is as awesome as u are.

Bom dia tudo bem ❤❤❤
