Seeing the Little Mermaid at the US Virgin Islands was fascinating to me. Half the size of the original statue, this replica is found at the Havensight Mall at the West Indian Company Dock, where most cruise ships dock.
Officially the Virgin islands of the United States, these islands is an unincorporated and organized territory of the United States. The Virgin Islands used to be known as the Danish West Indies of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, and then the independent Kingdom of Denmark. In 1917 through the treaty of the Danish West Indies, the islands were sold to the United States. This is Fort Christian, named after King Christian V of Denmark. This Dano-Norwegian fort is the oldest building in the territory and has served as a town center, a government building and a jail. Located at Charlotte Amalie, the capital and largest city of the territory.
The Virgin islands of the United States comprises of the main islands St. John, St. Croix and St. Thomas, and 50 other surrounding islands and cays. At 474 meters, the Crown Mountain at St. Thomas is the highest peak at the territory. The viewing point above offers a fantastic scenic view of the territory.
Selfie with an iguana? Why not. I am but a guest to its amazing islands. They may startle you but they are accustomed to people around them. They are found everywhere but do leave them alone because they are still wild animals.
Experience the highest point on St. Thomas for spectacular views and photo opportunities. You will have time to do some duty-free shopping and sample banana daiquiris, before you move on to explore and enjoy the world-famous Magen's Bay. Book now with GetYourGuide
