9053 Perimater Rd, Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas 00802, USVI

Saint Thomas is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands and has a colorful history. It was considered a haven for pirates in the 17th century when the governor made sanctuary-for-fair-trade agreements for several pirates. It also, like many islands, capitalized from slavery until it was abolished. Clearly, the island has experienced a layered history but now has a sprawling culture and welcomes more tourists than the other U.S. Virgin Islands per year.

Things to See in Saint Thomas

  • Mountain Top

    OK, this is definitely a tourist joint but it’s worth visiting for the views. The highest point of Saint Thomas offers expansive panoramic views of the surrounding islands, bays, and landscape from the viewing deck. There’s a duty-free shop and you might be remiss if you don’t suck down a famous banana daquiri at the bar. Again, a tourist attraction but, hey, so is the Empire State Building yet it’s still worth visiting when in town.
  • Blackbeard’s Castle

    Another popular hotspot to check out is Blackbeard’s Castle which highlights historic buildings as old as 17th century, hilltop views, and classic mahogany furniture which all provides a proverbial window into the settlement of the Virgin Islands. Now considered a National Historic Landmark you may find value in visiting the site.
  • Coral World Ocean Park

    Located on the northeast dynamic peninsula on Saint Thomas is a water park dedicated to unique wildlife interactions. There is a plethora of activities with which to engage including SNUBA, shark encounters, seahorses, and various presentations which will address tropical bird species and wildlife conservation.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
