St. Thomas Excursion

Your journey begins with a 45-minute boat ride to the island of St. John.


Upon arriving in the charming town of Cruz Bay, you'll board open-air safari transportation for a scenic Island drive. Along the way, your guide will provide insight into St. John's rich history, lush, tropical foliage and its indigenous wildlife. You'll witness white-sand beaches and panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands.
On your itinerary are the ruins of the Annaberg sugar mill, an 18th-century sugar plantation with an abundance of greenery and flowers bursting among the stone ruins, and Whistling Cay. You'll also visit such scenic overlooks as Trunk Bay ( one of the most photographed beaches in the world) Hawksnest Bay, and Caneel Bay, overlooking the famous Rockefeller plantation. Next, you'll drive to Bordeaux Mountain. At a 1,277 feet elevation, it's the highest summit in the Virgin Islands, providing one of the most extraordinary vista points. You'll cap off your tour with a return to Cruz Bay before your boat ride back to St. Thomas.
