Estimates based on the tour's longest published duration, our researched travel times and typical pier queues. Confirm the departure time on the booking page and keep your watch on ship's time.

Our verdict

This tour fits a typical St. Thomas call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs up to 45 min; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:35 am and be back at the gangway around 9:35 am — 5 h 55 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 10:35 am or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

The operator offers pickup, but the listed pickup points are hotels, not the cruise port. Choose "I will meet at the departure point" when booking and allow 15 min each way by taxi — that is what we counted above.

Among the 100 St. Thomas shore excursions we track, this is one of the shorter ones (the median runs 4 h); 82% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical St. Thomas call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.
