With plenty of opportunities for adventure, Buck Island is a great place to visit. To access the island or reef, you will need a boat. Six National Park Service concessionaires offer trips to Buck Island from the St. Croix "mainland". If you wish to moor your private vessel permit applications are available at the National Park Service Visitor Contact Station at Fort Christianvaern in downtown Christiansted.

Whether this is your first time to Buck Island Reef National Monument or you are a regular visitor, please take some time to familiarize yourself with our park's rules.

Enjoy your visit!
