St. Thomas Beach Guide

St. Thomas has over 40 major beaches along its sun-drenched coasts. There are strands with crystal blue water and swaying coconut trees where a beach bum can enjoy a lazy-lazy day. For more active beach goers there are sandy coves with activities like windsurfing and kayaking. Some shores are rugged and rocky offering beauty, solitude and the opportunity to daydream about castaway fantasies. And there are widely popular bay-like beaches with amenities such as restaurants, rest rooms, chair rentals and complete water sports centers offering a variety of rental equipment .

St. Thomas Weddings / Romance

DID YOU KNOW THAT... Many couples are opting to save the money (not to mention the stress and hard work) of a big wedding at home by escaping to a Caribbean island for a combination wedding/honeymoon. Upon their return, they can share the event by showing the video and photographs at an informal reception. All the islands are beautiful and, on some, weddings have become a major promotional tool. So why should you choose St. Thomas above others?

Moving To St. Thomas

St. Thomas, one of the three United States Virign Islands, along with St. Croix and St. John, St. Thomas is one of the most beautiful island destinations in the world, dressed with powdery beaches and sun-drenched weather. St. Thomas is located in the Lesser Antilles, 1,600 miles south, south east of New York City; 1,100 east, southeast of Miami; 70 miles of San Juan. St. Thomas and its nearby neighbor St. John, lay between the Atlantic and the Caribbean.

St. Thomas Cruise Ship Arrival

St. Thomas has two cruise ports - - The West India Company Dock (almost universally referred to as Havensight) and Crown Bay. Both are located on the south side of the island not far from Charlotte Amalie. Generally, the ships of Carnival Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, and Royal Caribbean (except Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas) dock at Havensight. Cunard, Princess, Holland America and Oasis and Allure typically dock at Crown Bay. This can change depending on the number of ships in port. Deeper draft ships such as Queen Mary 2, Oasis and Allure are required to dock at Crown Bay.

St Thomas Island Tour and Beach

St thomas cruise excursions and tours.

ST THOMAS ISLAND TOUR, SHOPPING & BEACH 

$45usd   Per Person

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.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.

This tour is flexible and can be modified for those who would prefer less time shopping or beach time depending on your requirements.

Please ensure to reserve early as space is limited  advanced reservations are a must!

Sven was our tour guide throughout the 5-hour snorkel and kayak excursion. To say that he is the best tour guide a person can ask for is not an exaggeration. He was very knowledgeable of the wildlife in the island, taking any opportunity to teach us about the plants and animals we encountered. He also made the effort to take great underwater pictures of us with the turtles, sting rays, jelly fish and sea eggs that we came across. He is an expert swimmer with a passion for wildlife, free diving, and photography, all of which add to his accolades as a tour guide. Respectful and professional and would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting St. Thomas.

Snorkeling with Sea Turtles

Michelle was amazing! She was incredibly knowledgeable and got us right up next to the sea turtles. She took so many photos that were all really great quality. We very much enjoyed our time with her. It was a very special day.

Private Tour

We did a private tour and it was incredible. Got a bunch of cool videos and pictures along with the experience and great lunch. The tour guide also showed us many different species in the ocean and was very knowledgeable on everything we saw. It was an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommend for anyone coming to St. Thomas

BOOK THIS!!!

Turtles and coral guaranteed.

I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the snorkeling was in St. Thomas. . Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable about the island and walked us through the flora and fauna, always asking what we were interested in to help tailor the tour. We were with just one other couple which made for a fantastic small group experience.

The turtles were friendly and the fish out in the ocean reef were beautiful. We even saw an octopus, sting ray and reef squid. Highly recommend if you want a little more adventurous of a kayak and snorkel tour as the ocean life keeps it interesting.

The Turtle Tour was great!

We saw turtles, a sting ray, squid, coral reefs and some other tropical fish. Sven was a great tour guide. He gave a lot of information about the turtles and their environment. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting St. Thomas. We arrived on a cruise and it was a short taxi ride to the resort where you will meet with your tour guide. I had an underwater camera that did capture a lot of pictures but, we also purchased the photo package St. Thomas Adventure Tours offered. They captured a lot of great pictures and video of us as well. Can’t wait to go back! 🙂

Amazing Experience

We had an amazing experience with Sven! He was able to bring us to two beaches and we saw so many sea turtles! He was personable and knowledgeable of the area and even took us on a nature walk around the area to get a better sense of the trees and environment. He brought us to many places along the island and was helpful in so many ways. The lunch was great and he was patient and kind when giving instructions for snorkeling. He even took pictures of the wildlife for us using his GoPro! Overall, we would book again with Sven any time he was incredible!!!

Toured with Connor and he was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the sea life and we got to see the sea creatures up close including a sting ray, squid, and of course the sea turtles! Connor took great photos as well!

Tuttle snorkel excursion

Did the 2 hour turtle snorkeling tour and had Conner as our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic! He had so much knowledge about the ocean life and was so much fun to be with. My sisters and I said we’ll definitely come back and to ask for conner to be our tour guide because we just had such a fantastic time. I love that they work with smaller groups, we felt like we got to experience so much more that way!

You need this trip

My husband and I went with tour guide Connor and we were impressed!!! He was on time, brought sandwiches from a local shop (the bread is incredible) and provided us with tons of water. On to the trip, we rode up to the first spot and saw tons of sea turtles and other incredible wildlife. Connor was a wealth of knowledge. He even grabbed a giant conch for us to see and hold! 10/10 recommend that you request Connor as you guide. He even pulled over and picked tamarind for us to try! We’ve done several excursions since we got here and definitely had the highlight of our time in st Thomas during this one!!!

The BEST vacation experience EVER

Our tour guide, Conner, was extremely helpful, friendly, and experienced in our snorkeling adventure. He took us to a secluded beach that was streaming with marine life. Conner taught us about the fish we were seeing, the coral reef, and various see life we were swimming with. We saw a lot of sea turtles (more than I expected). Our photo package was so worth the money and we will keep these visual memories forever.

Skyline Drive & Island Overview Shore Trip

This is a two-hour orientation tour of St. Thomas, with stops at some of the island's highlights and exciting views of the island itself.

St. Thomas is a mountainous island with one long ridge of hills running east and west through the center of the island, with smaller ridges branching off. The island is thirteen miles long by four miles wide, encompassing a little over 31 square miles. The highest point is Crown Mountain at 1,556 feet.

St. Thomas has a history that dates back to 1500 B.C. and the Ciboney people. They were replaced by the Arawaks and then the Caribes, long before Christopher Columbus first saw the island in 1493 on his second voyage to the "New World." Unfortunately, almost all signs of the pre-Columbus days have been lost to time.

Most of the structures and ruins that remain date from the 16th and 17th century and include Blackbeard's Castle (Skytsborg), Fort Christian and Bluebeard's Castle (Tower Fort). During your scenic orientation drive, you will be able to see them on nearby hilltops.

Riding along the crest of St. Thomas on "Skyline Drive," visitors are treated to vistas of Charlotte Amalie town, harbor as well as Hassel and Water Islands to the south; the Atlantic Ocean, Magens Bay, and Inner and Outer Brass and Hans Lollick islands to the north; and the chain of cays leading to St. John and the British Virgins to the east.

On this St. Thomas excursion, your driver/guide will make stops at various scenic overlooks as traffic/safety allows. You will pass by Drake's Seat, believed to be the spot where Sir Francis Drake himself watched for enemy vessels. A stop will be made at Mountain Top, where you will take in the most amazing views from the balcony of the shopping arcade, and if you choose, purchase a "world-famous" banana daiquiri.

At the end of the two-hour driving orientation, you will have the option of being dropped off in downtown Charlotte Amalie to experience its world-famous shopping or be taken back to the cruise ship dock.

Please Note: Guests departing from downtown will be responsible for their transportation back to their destination. Depending on the number of guests participating, tour will be conducted in vans or open-air safari buses.

HERE'S WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

I knew that a tour that combined food AND my favorite Caribbean island couldn't disappoint me. But this experience far exceeded my expectations. I'm not big on history, so I originally thought that the time between the food stops wouldn't interest me. The tour guide delivered the information in such a casual, interesting way that I never felt bored. I actually enjoyed learning about the island's rich history just as much as I loved eating and drinking my way through the tour! My favorite stop: E's Garden Tea House. We'll definitely be back.

"I loved this food tour! Our guide, Gerard, was friendly and had so many interesting facts about the history of St. Thomas and their food. I liked all of the places we stopped, and even went back to one of them for lunch another day when we were in the area. We did this tour pretty early on in our vacation, which was great because we got familiar with downtown Charlotte, and Gerard made some great suggestions on other things to do and see. Highly recommend if you are a foodie like me, or someone who appreciates learning more about the history and culture of the places you visit."

Jane DiCola

Jane has lived on St. Thomas for 33 years.  She LOVES the island and is always excited to share some of the off-the-beaten-path places, people and stories.  "We are so much more than our fabulous beaches, tropical climate and excellent duty free shopping!" she says.  "Our diverse Caribbean population makes this a culturally and historically rich place to live, and to visit again and again."  

"Jane was awesome, intelligent, knowledgeable and had great energy. We had our teens along and couldn’t have asked for a better time or experience. We met local business owners, had incredible food, and learned amazing things about STT. She patiently answered our (my) questions and gave a true “vibe” to the meaning of this beautiful territory which the U.S acquired. Do not look at any other tours - book this today. The early tour is guaranteed to give you a better, more private time - because nobody gets up at 8 to walk around an island. Thank you - Jane!!! Arno, Violet, and the kids. You know you’re awesome when two teens loved you."

She gave so many interesting tidbits about the history of the island as well as places we visited to sample food. We loved the tea room and enjoyed the conversation with the owner very much. Her salt fish quiche and bush tea were delicious. We are not even tea drinkers but ended up buying tea to take home so good. We loved the bakery my brothers workshop the concept behind the Non profit was great to learn about and such a wonderful concept to educate the youth. Great experience highlight of my visit to st Thomas."
