Our
St Thomas Island tour will give you an opportunity to see all of the
highlights of this tropical paradise with stops along the way for photo
opportunities, and to experience the local culture and learn about the
history. Our professional certified guides and drivers will show
you the best of their Island home from the comfort and safety of air
conditioned vans or open safari vans.
Whether you are looking for a small group tour or private tour we can
offer an option that will meet the needs of your family or travel group.
With
an easy collection point close to your cruise line, your friendly driver
will meet you with a sign, and an island smile. (not to mention some
colorful vans!) One great aspect of this tour is that you can choose one
of St Thomas’s unique open safari vans, for the fresh air and sunshine,
or a 12 seat air conditioned van to stay cool and collected. The choice
is yours.
First, you will head out of St Thomas and up a winding mountain road to
an elevation of some 1,547 feet above sea level, to a famous location
called “mountaintop”. Awesome views of the British Virgin
Islands,
and the Atlantic Ocean are what stand out here, as well as being able to
see many of the beaches of St Thomas, and St John in the distance. We
highly recommend one of the banana daiquiris at this location. Its where
they were invented, and they are still as good as the day they were
first conceived, some 40 years ago.
From here, your tour continues to “Drakes Seat” (you guessed it, Sir
Francis Drake sat here all those hundreds of years before, enjoying much
the same view) to enjoy even more spectacular vistas of Megan's Bay
below, and the mahogany run championship golf course next to the blue
waters of the Atlantic.
Then, its off for two hours of relaxing and swimming, at the famous
Megans Bay, ranked one
of
the “top 10” most beautiful in the world, according to National
Geographic.
This distinctive heart shaped cove will indeed steal your heart. Apart
from peace, turquoise waters, and natural serenity, you will find
convenient showers and changing facilities here too. This beach is
rightly one of the most talked about on St.Thomas, and everyone should
make at least one visit here to see what all the fuss is about!
Next, you will board your van and head off towards Charlotte Amalie,
along the wonderful “Skyline Drive", high above the rest of the island,
with amazing views of the cruise ships, historical downtown, and
neighboring
islands. After all the sightseeing and beaches, its time to round off
your day with some serious duty free shopping downtown, and your driver
will wait 2 hours for you while you explore the narrow streets and malls
and grab all those bargains..
The great thing about the trip, is that if you get tired, your driver
can take you back to your ship after the sightseeing section of the
tour, after the beach section, or finally after the shopping section, so
it’s a really flexible day.
A full and interesting day in Americas Paradise, St Thomas USVI.
