When it comes to vacationing, the cost of living is an important factor to consider. Compared to the United States Virgin Islands, Hawaii is more expensive. This means that a trip to the USVI will generally be cheaper than a trip to Hawaii. Of course, this depends on the type of accommodations and activities you are looking for.
Generally speaking, Caribbean hotels and resorts tend to be more affordable than those in Hawaii. This is especially true if you want to visit the most popular islands like Oahu and Maui. So how do they compare? Both destinations offer warm and tropical climates, and U. S. citizens don't need a passport to travel to either place.
In addition, both destinations are made up of several different islands, each with its own unique personality and attractions. However, both Hawaii and the United States Virgin Islands have their own distinctive environment. We love both destinations, but which one suits you best? The United States Virgin Islands (USVI) are formed by Santo Tomás, San Juan and Santa Cruz, which form three peripheral territories that belong to the United States located in the Caribbean Sea. On the one hand, there are the USVI, which consist of three main islands (St. Thomas, St.
John & St Croix), where visitors can savor Caribbean style like nowhere else. While both destinations offer beautiful landscapes and lots of activities, the Hawaiian Islands are more diverse in terms of scenery and offerings than the average Caribbean island. If you're looking for a getaway without the crowds, consider booking your stay in the USVI between mid-April and mid-June. If you're looking for a getaway to the Caribbean Islands or Hawaii, either destination is a great option. With fairly calm waters and a variety of islands nearby, you can easily explore several islands on an excursion or by renting a sailboat or catamaran for a week. Some of the most spectacular sights we've seen are on the island of Kauai, one of which, the Wailua Falls, was used in the shooting of the opening scene of Fantasy Island.
Each island offers stunning white sand beaches surrounded by calm waters, perfect for snorkeling or diving near popular spots such as Virgin Gorda and Hassel Island's Reef Bay Trail. It's best to visit most Caribbean islands, such as the USVI and St Maarten, in these winter months. Island-hopping in the Caribbean and Hawaii is a great way to explore several islands without having to travel too far. The ferry system of the British Virgin Islands also offers great opportunities for going from island to island.
