The Best Of St. Thomas

Board your open-air safari bus and travel along the scenic east coast of St. Thomas where you can take in the views of the neighboring islands. Then it’s on to Beacon Point, which offers breathtaking island views from the observation platform. Stop at Skyline overlook to see the historic harbor of Charlotte Amalie 800 feet above your cruise ship. Next, enjoy views of heart-shaped, palm-fringed Megan’s Bay (one of the top 10 beaches in the world) from Drake’s Seat before continuing to St. Peter Great House and Botanical Gardens, once the haunt of the rich and famous. This is a magnificent Caribbean estate, featuring stunning views, classic Caribbean architecture and vintage furnishings in a beautiful, tropical setting. Enjoy a refreshing complimentary rum or fruit punch and stroll the lush grounds, perched 1,000 feet above the ocean that is home to more than 100 varieties of tropical fauna. This is a ‘must see’ in the Caribbean. Choose a complimentary souvenir gift as a remembrance of your excursion. Travel to Mountain Top for the most stunning and panoramic vistas in the Virgin Islands. Note: Guests ending the tour in Charlotte Amalie are responsible for their taxi fare back to the ship. Tours departing in the afternoon do not have the option of remaining in Charlotte Amalie for shopping. There are steps at St. Peter Great House. The Botanical Nature Trail includes two flights of stairs down and two flights of stairs back up. Mountain Top has a flat entry and easy access for those who are mobility impaired.
