Jet ski, kayak & SUP
Jet ski, kayak & SUP
The short list, verified.
St. Croix's motorized fun lives on the west end — jet skis off Rainbow Beach with the sunset coast for a racetrack. Its quietest magic lives on the north shore: Salt River Bay, one of the world's few year-round bioluminescent bays, where a night paddle lights every stroke.
Book the bio bay around the moon — the darker the night, the brighter the glow. The operators' calendars flag the good windows; aim for the new-moon half of the month.
