Our verdict
This tour fits a typical St. Thomas call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 2 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:28 am and be back at the gangway around 10:36 am — 4 h 54 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.
Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 11:36 am or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.
The meeting point is at the cruise pier or a short walk from it — the operator's own directions are written from Havensight (West Indian Company dock, WICO). We allow 8 min to walk off and find them; usually no taxi and no transfer eating into your day.
Among the 346 St. Thomas shore excursions we track, this is one of the shorter ones (the median runs 3 h); 82% of them fit a typical call.

Itinerary
- 1Mountain TopThe overlook is located atop St. Peter Mountain–the island’s highest point–and has a vista of Magens Bay that rivals Drake’s Seat’s due to the higher elevation, which allows for a view of even more surrounding islands, including the British Virgin Islands. Visitors will find much more than just a great view at Mountain Top, however. The attraction is a good place to purchase souvenirs, clothes, and other gift items. Mountain Top is also famous for its signature drink, the banana daiquiri, which is made with a variety of flavors of local Cruzan Rum.
- 2Drake's SeatSt. Thomas is mountainous and offers beautiful views. The most popular lookouts are Drakes Seat and Skyline Drive Overlook. Drake’s Seat was built in 1933 by Arthur Fairchild. In those days navigating the hills of St. Thomas involved traveling by horse or foot. He thought the spot where he put Drake’s Seat was a nice place for a rest. You too can take a break and enjoy the fabulous view from the famous seat!
- 3Coki Point BeachCoki Point is a small, pretty, well-visited beach. It is loved by many for its lively vibe and easy snorkeling.You will not be disappointed! Coki Point Beach is a relatively small, very pretty beach located on Coki Point. The crystal clear water is usually very calm and deepens gradually. There is very little natural shade, but umbrellas are available for rent. Near shore, there is a rocky reef area that offers great snorkeling. After the Scenic Tour of sightseeing at Mountain Top, Drakes Seat and the Skyline Lookout, you will visit Coki Beach or any beach on island of choice. We will then pick you up from the beach at your preferred time and get you back to your final destination on time. Beach time can vary, just let your driver know. Admissions are not included in tour price. Magens Bay beach entrance fees are $5 per adult and kids under 12 are free.
- 4Skyline DriveSkyline Drive Overlook offers a panoramic harbor view including Charlotte Amalie, Hassel Island, Water Island and more! You will be able to take pictures and indulge in this popular view site. It is a popular spot, so bring your camera.
