- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- We took a Caribbean vacation with our dog to St Croix Virgin Islands. This video was filmed late January 2021. We spent the week visiting the top sites like the tide pools, sunrise (the first sunrise in the USA!) at Point Udall and enjoy the St Croix beaches!
Traveling in 2021 is not easy, but it is worth it to travel safe. We are documenting and sharing on our channel how to safely travel in 2021.

ABOUT US: We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic.
The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

Where did you rent the keep from?
I think the one and only thing that is missing is some kind of interaction with local people! We (the people) are what makes St.Croix so special...Please visit again 🤞🏾🇻🇮
They only came to get the vaccine that they can’t get in the mainland brethren 🇻🇮 I don’t respect any of this shit right here!!
THANK YOU!!! They didn't come for st. Croix. They came to get likes. Disrespectful.
I heard reference to the various European languages/dialects with history on the island, but even when you referred to the local Creole dialect, it seems like you neglected to acknowledge that the majority of Cruzans are Black, i.e. of African descent. The word Creole typically refers to the fusion of African and European cultures, and let’s be real, it’s the African part that makes Creole a thing.
You guys went to my hometown. I was born in the Virgin Islands on St Thomas. The Virgin Islands are beautiful and the food is amazing.
What a beautiful hometown!
@@timandfin it is. I’m heading to St Thomas to se my momma in March God willing so I’ll be enjoying the beaches and mommas home cooking.
St.Thomas is your home town..not St.Croix. St.Croix is my home town not yours. They didn't travel to St.Thomas..They traveled to St.Croix. Don't confuse the ppl. Get it right.
@@samuelnanton3946 V. I. is V. I. There is no segregation it don’t matter which one all 3 islands is home Bredda.
Croix is Best for: Culture, history, and food. Although it's the largest of the three islands, St. Croix sees the fewest tourists, making it a great destination if you want a less commercialized Caribbean experience.
Agreed!
@@KarielGranger nice seeing you here lol
@@JazmineAnika 😂😂 I try to find my way to all the vi vlog comment sections
When she comments about your driving experience! A woman that respects her man! You guys have always been so fun to watch!
Been there done that. Lived in STX for 40 years. Left 5 years ago. My home enjoy!!!!
My dog was from St. Croix. We adopted her and she now is eating so much and loves life in Florida.🏖💗
That’s my homeland ❤️❤️❤️
Wow those cottages are truly by the sea with those waves coming in so close.
This is one of the best blogs coming from a local that left for the army and now settled in San Antonio TX.
Jeep Life is the best life... we bought one for all of our adventures it’ll take you anywhere !
beep beep - jeep wave!
So true. This looks like a blast guys
Thanks for brightening up my very cold Monday morning in Hungary. Enjoyed your beautiful footage as always. I love the way you guys are interacting with each other and taking little Pepper with you on your adventures.
Cruzan Rum is made down there and is my absolute favorite!
Cruzan coconut rum!.. awesome!
@@jou2166 hahaha!! Let's go!
Absolutely lovely vlog. ❤️
Wowww! This is amazing my home! What are the odds the first time seeing you all channel it would be this one. Happy you all enjoyed! Definitely got a new subscriber. Thanks for shining a positive light on the island.
Happy Valentines Day Tim and Fin enjoy
Thanks Robert, same to you!
You three bring a smile to my face every time. Hi Peppuuuurrr
The tides were crazy around the same time the winter blizzard hit Tx! Lovely video btw, cant wait to visit.
Nice cliff-hanger ending. Loving the videos. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Valentine's to my dear Tim and Fin, always stay happy and healthy my lovely person.💐😍😘😘so wonderful sharing and thanks a lot 💐😍😘
A smile sat on my face the whole video! You guys are an awesome couple to watch! Thank you for this treasure of a video. Definitely subscribed and turned on notifications and hit that like button!
Hi Tim and Fin! We recently subscribed to your channel and loving it! Thank you for taking us along!
🤗🤗
I was laughing my hat off!.. yes stcroix is never ending fun, I've travel plenty places...but stcroix is my favorite!.. Its so easy to get around and play!.. the sunny weather and gentle breezes all year..irresistible
1. Whatever you got to do to see those views is worth it. 2. Driving jeeps have been on our bucket list because they look so fun. Great video!
Onl 20-25 cruise ships per YEAR. Not much tourism income for St. Croix. STX is the chill out island. St. Thomas gets 3-8 cruise ships per DAY. STT is mostly tourism and way, way busy. Best to chill on STX, 🇻🇮❤️
Agreed- Don't tell anyone but STX is best. Shhhhhh.
Be sure to dive with St. Thomas Diving Club if you can get to dive site Cow and Calf. It is like Disneyland ! Weather conditions must be right, though. Waves and surge can be an issue this time of year.
What an intro! What you do for us! Fun!!! 🙏
Thanks for watching! 🤗
Incredible Tim and Finn. Love St. Croix. I have always been in love with the US Virgin Islands. Looks like you had alot of fun and your puppy dig is the best. Thanks you guys. I really enjoyed this video but I love all your videos. Be safe and have fun.❤
Amazing how excited city people get when they are driving off the pavement. Also funny listening to how dramatic they make it appear. I really enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Nah driving to the tide pools is quite the off road experience. On side of the road is a cliff. They didn't show you that but if you rent a jeep you have to sign off that you won't go to the tide pools.
My wife and I totally made that drive in a Toyota Corolla
That's because nothing can stop a Corolla.
Great video guys nicely done thank you
Love you guys! Love your videos of fun trips & beautiful scenes. Nice cameras (Panasonic GH5 is great) and great videography skills make your videos so easy to enjoy!
Another awesome video!!!
Jeep goes anywhere and great thumb placement.
You two are hilarious , look forward to more tim and fin adventures
Totally worth it!
That was so fun! We'll have to put this island on our travel list! 😀 - Trevor
🤙absolutely!
Really enjoyed your video. You were in my neck of the woods. I mt.bike down to the tide pools quite frequently and ride on scenic road as well. Glad you enjoyed your time on the island. Hope you come back.
Hello and good day to the both of you I just want to thank you guys as a virgin Islander for doing a video like this finally my home st. Croix is being recognized for its tremendous Beauty and naturalness and I'm so glad you guys enjoyed yourself the US Virgin Islands is the greatest place in the world to be🤔
Thank you for having us! 🥰🥰
@@timandfin you're welcome and please visit us again when we all can come together as a people and as one is what makes the Virgin Islands so beautiful👋😃🏝❤
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Awww your dog is the best! Our dopey Lab would have been hanging off of the roof drooling. Or driving.
Happy V day guys ❤️ the views on those beaches are fantastic 😍 we're in snowy France right now and although we're loving the snow, we are seriously missing some beautiful tropical weather and the beach! 🌞 Thanks for giving us a slice of the tropics in this video ☺️
sending you warmth this V day!
The tide pools is a must if ur going to vacation on st.croix, when I was younger we would go almost every weekend however the road to drive down has gotten pretty rough but yes it’s definitely worth it 💜
The hike to get there is really nice quick workout too if you don’t want to drive!
@@KarielGranger May I ask where the trail head is to go to the tide pools?
@@DD-ry3zg the easiest way to get there is to drive to the Renaissance carambola resort. There is a trail starting outside the premises near the guard gate and another trail on the resort property.
@@KarielGranger Thanks a lot!! :)
Tim walking in the rain so casual🤣😃
looks like you guys had a good time :)
As a jeep owner, this made me so happy 🥰 *jeep wave from afar 👋*
Beep beep! Our first Jeep wave! 👋
Great job! You made it look so much fun...maybe you should consider a guided tour travel of all your experiences. I would come!
Always dedicated to getting the shot! Love it! Loved this half hour of escapism whilst I had my breakfast here in Australia 😍😉
🤗🍳
Yey new video! Hello there! Greetings from Singapore. Happy Valentine's to u two! ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Valentines day Tsina!
I love you reporter on the scene!
loved the news reporter bit at the end 🤣 always look forward to your videos 👍
Great fun:))
Great video
Hi you two, great cliff-hanger ending. I'm going to be wondering all week about the high-tide. 🤔
I Love St Croix we visited during pandemic in vloged it on RUclips 2020. Great food and culture!
Omg once you've seen stcroix you have lived!.. I've stayed in the fred and cottages..both next to the sea and the road...good location. I could smell the fresh clean air just watching this video..some really easy getting around. The people speak English..its just heavily accented lol.. then your ears adjust after a few minutes..( fun) .I loved this video so much
PS the newscast at the end is so true & even better than that!
hahahah that intro :) :) load of fun and crazy accents :) hahaha Loved it :)
🥰🤙
: )
You guys are awesome, thanks for sharing your life travel's. We are heading out and down the road soon also... be well.
Happy Valentines Day 🎊🎉🥳
Same to you Andrei!
We found $76 flights from Chicago back in December, so we will be in St. Croix in a few days! This was very well timed for us 😅
yes i did
That’s where we got our vax. I live in st croix and you guys showed me stuff I hadn’t seen. The waves were especially big while you were here.
Aww this was so funny .. did you stay warm and cosy
I just live fallowing you both. I have live on Isla Mujeres I lived in Playa Del Carmen.. 2016 17..
I am planning on returning in September to start my next Caribbean adventure.. So thank you for this AMAZING video..
Thanks for watching! 👋
Pepper is the best dog ever. Our dog would not be amused by those shenanigans. Lol
Happy Valentines Day to you all.
Thanks guys same to you!
Haha that intro voice over. I don't think I'll be able to do the next voice over for our videos without remembering that and laughing. The good thing about traveling with kids is that you always have baby wipes on hand for any muddy mishaps! Fingers crossed for next week on the high tide situation!
The language is called patois. A very melodic blend of many languages. In the 1970's I spent six months in St. Croix. A beautiful island with very welcoming people once they get to know you. Back then is was much more primitive, but charming.
I hope you are doing the cooking, she didn’t seem thrilled about the shopping. I’m new and so far I love your channel.
Glad you're here now!
Lotsa fun virtual hangin with you guys on the island. We were there before the last hurricane. Loved it. Stayed in Christiansted. Cane Bay was cool. Sunset at Pt Udall was fantastic on a clear day. Scary wave action...bet you had a restless night. Keep on truckin...your vids are the only travel I’m gonna get for a long time, while I regrow my ruptured achilles tendon...ugh 😢 ...gonna start my vlog about that crazy challenge. Anyway..thanks for doin the vids...interesting, one sided, dynamic where we feel like your close friends, but you probably haven’t seen more than a handful of subscribers.
Oh wow my only night mare is the big wave when at ocean 🤣🤣 keeping me in suspense all week guys thanks I love traveling with and oh that pepper such a cutie pie have a great week be watching for you❤️😂
Leaks are called Jeep Life! It is part of the charm! lol
You will now have to come to Maine - to Cadillac Mountain in Mt. Desert Island - the first place in the continental US to see sunrise. We have been several times and it is beautiful!!! Loved watching your video (as usual LOL) - it's nice to see the "not as much photographed" places. I think we may need to plan a trip to the USVI! Thanks again - it was great!
Thanks for saying hi again Susan! 👋
You should check out the Very Large Array in Socorro NM
We took that trip to the tidepool in March Jeep overheated but I never told hertz where we took it lol
We made the trip down in the Jeep yesterday. It is definitely a tricky terrain. If you've never gone off-roading or driven a Jeep, you might end up in a tough spot.
mantap tim n fin ....i'm from indonesia , I am one of the subscriber
We just went to the Tide pools this week!…granted we did the hike instead of a Jeep, but it was still great fun. The bouldering to get from the shore to the pools is no joke, especially if the tide is rising.
Did you notice the sound the surf made on the smooth rocks? Sounds like a huge round of applause with the way the tide babbles off the stones.
Lol. NO ONE DRIVES THERE! We hike🤣🤣👏👏👏 thanks for the adventure
Hey KC! If you're the same KC we met at Caribbean Breeze, hello! Bummed we never made it to the tide pools with y'all. Let us know if you ever make it to the Carolinas.
Enjoyed your vids from STX! I'm from there, left many moons ago and it was nice seeing the island again. In reference to the telescope you saw, if you want to see some really cool ones check out the VLA (Very Large Array, giant telescopes) in New Mexico. That is beyond facinating! Very Sci-Fi!
Yes Pepper is the greatest ever!! If she can handle Tim’s off roading skills and hang out in the tide pools.....wow!!!!!
we were a bit worried when we drove a rental jeep down to the tide pools only to run into a Subaru Forester coming down when we were going back up. Felt like a bunch or pansies then. The hike in is also great. Park at Carambola resort and hike in.
Was that a one way road with the jeep? You all are so brave!
Awesome video! Made me want a jeep, though I'm not sure it'd be much use in England 🤣
The shops in Christiansted don't open until 10. They have the heavy hurricane doors that make it look like a ghost town when still closed. We eat breakfast somewhere then head out to the shops (some don't even open until 10:30-- Island time!). When you go back, make sure you check them out!
Good tip!
Absolutely beautiful 🌹❤️
Thank you Cheryl! 😊
good job guys, from sonny.
CRUZIAN MASSIVE 🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮🇻🇮
Best places to grocery shop on island: costUless, plaza west( market place west)
Hey guys I like your vidz. I'm heading to St Croix next weekend. Any help with what the offroad road you took to the tide pools was? I want to see if I can drive it too. Thanks. Anthony
Ah! My husband and I were in St. Croix 2 weeks ago we could not get our hands on a jeep and like you guys had no clue the drive to the tide pools would be That scary! We panicked .75 miles and turned around (somehow that was scary too T T ) a little relieved to know we were on the right path sad we didn’t make it to the end!
Do the hike next time! It’s worth the trip 😁
Gazillion camera angles.
Tim and Fin, I normally don't leave comments but do enjoy your channel and the different things you guys do. First, The jeep can handle a lot more then what you guys put it through. I go to jeep rallies and could send you pictures of stock and modified jeeps and some of the things they can do. Second, when my wife was doing work on the island the people she was working for told her to stay away from the Fredericksted part of the Island. Because of the cruise ships the locals gather there to pan for money and the crime is bad on that side. This was 20 years ago so can you comment on your experiences there now and your personnel (gut feelings) during your stay. Keep enjoying life and stay safe.....
Crime is not bad in Fredriksted. As long as you don't go looking for trouble you won't find it☺️ Enjoy the island you two!
Yes, I think Jeep owes you an endorsement fee! What I loved most about that road is... I wasn’t on it. 😂. Looked like a blast.
😂🥰
You guys are very steadily taking the #1 spot of our favorite travel vlog haha. Also, heading to St Croix because of you! Do you know what their rental policy is for those of us under 25? (we're still children evidently)
I received a message that you will be welcoming a baby soon. Congrats!
Hi! Great video and love the helpful tips. Can you please share the resort names you stayed at? Thanks
gotta love x files
me and my family went down that off road in the big kai we rented and got stuck and had to walk the rest of the way
💘 my home , VI for lyfe
Cottages by the Sea did it for me. Food will always be expensive at tourists destinations. Hopefully this virus will be over soon.
