St. Thomas (Charlotte Amalie), U.S. Virgin Islands

Scenic Island Tour & Mountain Top

SUBLIME CARIBBEAN VISTAS FROM A MOUNTAIN PEAK Take a scenic drive along one of the most breathtaking routes on St. Thomas. Much of the island’s beauty lies in its endless undulating hills spilling down to stunning bays shining in a hundred shades of blue connected by a curving ribbon of roadways hugging emerald-green slopes—affording paradisiacal Caribbean views. Drive with your local guide, making frequent stops to take it all in. The pinnacle of your excursion is the world-famous Mountain Top, 2,100 feet above sea level. Browse the shopping area amid festive Caribbean music and purchase a tot of fine locally produced rum or try the original banana daiquiri, said to have been invented here. From the observation deck, enjoy spectacular views of Magens Bay and the British Virgin Islands. If you would like, your driver-guide can drop you off in downtown Charlotte Amalie, where you may peruse the shops before returning to your ship on your own. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
