Skyline Drive & Island Overview Shore Trip

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.

Catch a ferry to Virgin Gorda to gaze on a natural architectural wonder of The Baths and more on this exciting tour near Romney-Pier Park.

Begin your epic tour by hopping on the ferry and be transported from your cruise ship pier to the British Virgin Islands' third-largest island: Virgin Gorda. Here, you'll get to take a journey along a winding trail that takes you to see The Baths, which lies just south of the sandy white beaches of Spring Bay. Some of the most massive granite boulders in this collection of oversized rock formations boast a 40-inch diameter. Traveling through The Baths' system of hollow structures, sandy beaches, and enormous granite boulders, is like moving through a maze thanks to the position of its rock formations.

As you follow the trail of The Baths, you'll also come across its cavernous structures. Molten lava helped forge these hollow rock formations over time to create the geological wonders that they are today. You'll travel along a rope-handrail trail that takes you up a series of ladders to help you climb the oversized boulders, where you'll get access to the white sandy beaches along Devil's Bay, a favorite for beachgoers and snorkelers alike to swim and go underwater to discover vivid coral and marine life. Take a break to enjoy soaking up the sun before heading back to your pier.

From heading up ladders of oversized granite boulders to witness the breathtaking views of secret coves, this visit to Virgin Gorda offers much for the outdoor enthusiast to explore.
