St. Thomas SKYRIDE & Paradise Point
charlesracine Says: The St. Thomas SKYRIDE provides an excellent and beautiful view of the harbor. The view at dust is superb with all of the city and harbor lights, see the photo. The ride could be considered pricey but, we thought it was worth it. Be sure to try a "Bushwhackers’" a drink with...
Great tour guide in St. Thomas !
markporter66 Says: Can highly recommend Henry from EEE Tours as a guide to the beautiful island of St. Thomas !We travelled to St. Thomas in June 2010 and he was helpful, informative and took us to lots of places off the beaten track so that we could see the real island !Henry's a retired...
vabchtraveler Says: We disembarked from our cruise ship in Charlotte Amalie at the Havensight shops. We walked a few blocks to the taxis - safari buses - and asked the drivers congregated there where to find good snorkeling on St. Thomas (we'd already tried Magen's Bay and Sapphire Bay with...
Great Views at St. Thomas' 700 ft Sky Ride!
jumpingnorman Says: I got one of the best pictures I have of my daughter after riding the St.Thomas Skyride – a tram ride up to Paradise Point which 700 feet above sea level. My two year old daughter walked with us to a nice gazebo where she looked out at the sweeping views of Charlotte Amalie...
Shop for Bargains at St Thomas Duty Free!
jumpingnorman Says: The Duty Free Shops in Charlotte Amalie are probably one of the best, if not the best, in the world! The watches for men are just amazing with current designs, and my wife of course enjoyed her side of the store, hehehe…St. Thomas is widely known as the best shopping spot in...
Feed Shark in Caribbean's Coral World Marine Park
jumpingnorman Says: We decided to bring our two year old twins to the Coral World Marine Park & Undersea Observatory, a three-story underwater observation tower located 100 feet off shore where you can watch fish, coral and other sea creatures in their natural environment. The Predator Tank is...

Fatboys Bar, Grill, and Games: B4 - Beach, Burgers, Babes and Beer
worldsnow Says: This place has a small menu and everything on it's amazing. From the pulled pork to the succulent burgers, everything is amazing. Don't forget to ask about the fresh fish tacos, they will blow you away. The pulled pork sandwich is done in house, fresh soft bun, and koleslaw...
The Harbor Marina and Restaurant: "Excellent Black Angus Steak"
HarleyPyrate Says: The servers here are great. You never have to wait for a drink to be refilled be it soda-pop or rum and coke. The place is kept clean and the restrooms are well stocked. An attribute you wont find present in a lot of restrooms on the island. The food was cooked to order and...
vabchtraveler Says: As we disembarked from our cruise ship, we walked through Havensight shops to an area a few blocks away where open-air taxis, safari buses, were waiting. They have posted transportation rates - no meters - so you know exactly what you are paying before entering. Of course,...
Best way to go to St John by FERRY
jumpingnorman Says: There's no airport on this island...so best way to reach it is by FERRY.We were staying at the Marriott’s Frenchman’s Reef resort, so we just took the hotel’s very own ferry to St Thomas which I think was just a little over $10 ? But these 20-minute ferries can easily be...
Seven Wonders Gift Shop: How to buy best duty free jewelry and local stuff
slindberg Says: This was such a great shopping experience. In a place where there is a pushy salesperson at every corner, it was so refreshing to goto a place with great stuff and relaxed sales people that actually listen to what you want. Highly recommend visiting this "hidden gem" gift...
jsteven Says: On the island, the use of "Hi" and "Hello" are considered a little too informal. Most locals greet each other (and like to be greeted with) "Good Morning", "Good Afternoon", or "Good Evening". Use one of these, or just "Good Day" instead of "hi". It feels awkward initially,...
davidca Says: Island Marketing is a company that sub-contracts tours and excursions from many locations in the Caribbean. On Nov.8/11 we contracted a private tour of St Thomas from them at a cost of $500.00. They contracted our tour out to VI Taxi Assoc operate who left us stranded at...
HarleyPyrate Says: Like a lot of touristy spots, there are the downfalls. My greatest disappointment by far was to see small used drug bags along the sidewalks. There is a crack cocaine problem on the main island. St.John requires boarding the ferry to get to from St.Thomas so you see less...
Liquor prices not necessarily cheap
davidca Says: On our last visit we went to A.H.Riise to purchase our ten bottle (3 yr supply) of Crown Royal Rye Whiskey. To my amazement , they had the 1 liter bottles priced at $19.95 each.(This is the same price that local outlets charge here in Florida, when they are running a...
vabchtraveler Says: I can't prove that we were bamboozled (I so seldom get to use that word! Isn't it fun?), but I believe it. The Princess ported at the new docking facility - not Havensight - and we lit out for our destination of Coki Beach for great snorkeling. I'd wanted to catch a safari...
Transportation to Magens Bay $$$$$
webula Says: Magens Bay is a beautiful beach area but it was a minimum $8 per person to get there each way. Once you are there, you are stuck unless you pay $8 to get back down the windy hills on the buses. The locals weren't real friendly and one guy actually went off on us about how we...
Des64 Says: Take the ferry from St. Thomas to St. John....when you dock in Cruz Bay, walk around to the left to the National Park Service office/visitor center. You can get a trail map and do some great hiking....with great views....FREE! Of course, you'll want to head to famous Trunk...
jenval Says: Behind the beach at Magen's Bay is a 300 acre preserve co-owned by The Nature Conservancy and the V.I. government. There is a trail that takes you through tropical forest and mangroves in the preserve. It's quite steep at times so if you're going to do the whole trail, get...
HarleyPyrate Says: I found out why so many people are into the underwater scene after my stay. Once you submerse your body under the top of the water its like a world seperate from the rest. Its peaceful and quiet. Its movements are likened to a slow motion picture and every small creature...

She was only less than two years old when I took this shot from the highest point (1500 ft) on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. I don't even remember what she was looking at - maybe she's sleepy,...

St. Thomas can be a great place to visit, if you enjoy shopping and don't mind crowded beaches. I highly recommend a visit to Magen's Bay and a night out in Frenchtown. Be careful, as crime can be...

I've stopped in St. Thomas several times and find new treats each time. The first trip, I simply explored the world-renown shopping. In a few words, it's pretty spectacular. But I'm not the world's......

Just off the ship as you walk towards the ground transportation, there are many, many big iguanas on the rocks of the beach. Very cool!
