Traveling to Virgin Islands, Should I Bring My Drone?

[Clare_G101]

I want to because it is an absolutely gorgeous place, but I am worried about going through customs going there and heading back, is there a likelihood that it will get taken? I am fine with being pulled aside for those "not-so-random" extra security checks, I just don't want it taken, has anyone else had any bad experiences? Or even good experiences to calm my nerves, thanks!

US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands? Which island? Be aware that St. John is mostly National Park territory. Getting caught flying in a national park can get your drone confiscated.

Guys, as i see many of us are kinda lost regarding to traveling with our drones. Since i did not found any good sheet regarding to this i created a sub page on my website. Drone owners like us can easily check and filter departure and arrival and check if anything to worry about or we should be aware before our trip.
