THINGS TO BRING WHEN GOING FOR A ST. THOMAS TOUR So, you've seen some amazing photos of the US Virgin Islands, a classic Caribbean destination, and made the decision to take a St. Thomas island tour, too. Congrats on the decision! PACKING ESSENTIALS WHEN GOING TO ST. THOMAS • Essential Documents • Clothing • Toiletries & Medication • Sunscreen • Water Proof Bags And Cases • Backpack ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTS • Americans can travel to the US Virgin Islands (USVI) without a passport. However, it never hurts to have it with you, just in case. At the very least, it'll help you clear customs when your return. And, assuming you'll be visiting anywhere other than the USVI, then you'll need your passport and other verification documents like your driver's license and insurance information. CLOTHING • The island of Thomas is a tropical retreat; that's why the dressing there is mostly casual. So men can pack shorts and casual t-shirts, while women can dress in summer dresses, shorts, and tank tops. Just keep in mind that the US Virgin Islands weather can be humid, so pack lightweight, loose clothing that won't make you feel heavy. TOILETRIES & MEDIC ATION • Bring your essential bathroom supplies, such as shampoo, soap, and toothbrush. But, if you forget them or don't want to bring them in your bag, these things can be purchased on the island. Now, as for beauty supplies, ladies don't have to bring their whole collection of makeup and hair products. The island has a more "relaxed" look to it. So, you can bring some moisturizer, light makeup, and conditioner to keep your hair clean and smooth after snorkeling and scuba diving. SUNSCREEN • Along with the usual clothing and toiletries, sunscreens and lotions are an absolute must when going to the Virgin Islands. The tropical temperatures on St. Thomas mean higher levels of UV radiation, so proper skin protection is essential to ensure you don't get burned or suffer any long-term damage to your skin. WATER PROOF B AGS AND C ASES • Considering how much water you'll be exposed to – either by going to one of the fabulous beaches on the Islands or by enjoying the many water sports there are to check out – you'll want to protect your gadgets while not missing out on the excitement. That's where waterproof bags and cases come in. These simple yet effective must-haves will enable travelers to safely store all their items for a hasslefree beach visit or an adventurous day out. B ACKPACK • For solo adventurers, traveling with a carry-on baggage is the ideal choice. It's lightweight, spacious, and has lots of pockets to keep your stuff organized, but most importantly, it frees up your hands, which is especially useful when you're taking part in something athletic like hiking or climbing.
