10 Day Trips from in St. Thomas That You Shouldn't Miss

February 28, 2022 Matilde Konrad

Like all of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas has plenty of opportunities to lounge on the beach, splash in the sea, or amp it up with watersports. It also boasts a bountiful duty-free shopping scene – just be prepared to brave the cruise ship crowds. Charlotte Amalie swells with Danish colonial architecture and pirate legend. Shiver ye timbers at Blackbeard’s Castle, then work up an appetite by climbing the historic 99 Steps, constructed from the ballast bricks of 18th century Danish ships.

Sven was incredibly knowledgeable of the local area, vegetation, and the best spots for seeing rare sea creatures and an incredible isolated beach for kayaking! He found octopus, rays, turtles, and every type of fish you could imagine for us! This was an incredible experience that you do not want to miss!

We were picked up promptly and on time from the airport in a large passenger van, and our tour of the island began with some shopping in Charlotte Amelia, followed by some site seeing of the beautiful island. Slightly disappointed as I was hoping for a lunch stop or a bite to eat. Otherwise, the tour and our driver Mr. Sunny was great! Our tour ended being dropped off at our resort in time for a late afternoon check-in.

The day before my tour, I reached out to make sure the tour was still on as I hadn’t gotten any confirmation. They texted me late in the evening saying they would be picking me up 15 minutes early. The morning of the tour, the pickup time came and went. I reached out to them and they were like “Oh yeah, we forgot you. We didn’t have time to come get you”. What??? The tour guide told me to get a cab to meet them at a location downtown. The whole pickup experience was ridiculous. I was able to connect with the group downtown and the guide reimbursed me for the cab, but it was not a good start to my day and I missed an hour of the experience. The same had happened to other people as well. If you don’t have time to pick someone up, tell them earlier, don’t offer it was part of the tour, or leave enough time to pick everyone up. I do not recommend this tour.

We did a sunset sail, but wish we would have done a longer duration! It was the perfect way to spend our last night on the island. Hunter and Jamie were super chill, nice and had the best rum punch! We loved sailing around, sipping drinks sitting on cozy bean bags on the bow, and having the sea all around you. Book this now!!!

This was the best money I have spent on vacation!! Definitely do the whole day trip and make sure to bring lots of sunscreen. We had a group of 12 on the catamaran and our crew made sure all of our accommodations were met and more! We got to visit other beautiful islands and they took us to the best spots for snorkeling where we were able to see lots of sea life. Captain Splash and first mate Osay were absolutely outstanding and made sure we had the time of our life. Our first mate gave many tips and fun facts about the island, landmarks, and history which was very interesting, and also made sure we always had a drink in our hand and a smile on our face. I would definitely recommend booking with seas the day and will absolutely be back again!!
