While spending an hour at this first stop, you'll also get to enjoy duty-free shopping at local vendors.

From the mountain top, your private transportation will whisk you away to Crown Mountain to explore the iconic Villa Botanica, a lush garden located on a historic 5.5-acre sugar plantation that offers spectacular water views of Charlotte Amalie Harbor. After paying your entrance fee, you journey inside to admire exotic plants like colorful bougainvillea, birds of paradise, and frangipani as well as small bridges and bubbling fountains. While on-site, you'll also get to witness the ruins of the historic 18th-century estate and sugar mill of Plantation Crown and Hawk. Conclude your tour with another scenic drive back to your port as you reflect on the awesome attractions and breathtaking bay views of Charlotte Amalie.

If you're looking to shop duty-free or just enjoy the serenity of the gardens of Villa Botanica, then this tour is for you. Book this private tour now and see the highest point on the island and enjoy a historic estate the next time you visit Charlotte Amalie!
