CheckersMidwest Posted January 6, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have read in some reviews that there is a look out kind of place, up high in St Thomas that you stop & get out for photos but there is a booth with the world's best banana daiquiris. I think. Anyone have info on this ? How do we get there (taxi?).....price for 4 people....how long does it take.....etc. Also, are there any little side of the road type souvenier places along the way ?

Ms411 Posted January 6, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Mountain Top is the name of the lookout. It is included in most island tours that are offered at the dock for $30 to $35 pp which includes beach stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan Posted January 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Mountaintop is included on most ships' shore exes. It is supposedly the inventor of the banana daiquiri. It is worth the trip. Great view and killer daiquiris. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markntara Posted January 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I took this picture from Mountain Top and this one on the ride up, Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sns1009 Posted January 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I really want to go to Mountain Top. Last year, in St Thomas, we went to Magen's Bay first and then planned to take a taxi to Mountain Top from there but we couldn't find a taxi that was willing to take us there. Does anyone have any advice or do we have to take a ship excursion to get there. My 7 year old is very scared to try the sky ride up so that probably isn't an option.

Godfrey's tours includes a free drink. otherwise I think it's $9 pr $10. Great views too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanlovinmama Posted January 21, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I always use Bernards...his tours are fun!! You get the best of both worlds... a little shopping, the mountain top for THE BEST BANANA DAIQUIRI in the world!!!! and you can choose a beach. We went to Magens bay last year...hoping to do that in February. Google him It's like $40 but worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The view, shopping and banana daiquiri s are well worth whatever you pay. We girls passed out in the sun on Sapphire Beach after our drink.

ASolosailer Posted January 22, 2015 #13 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Bernard's Tours is in St. Maarten. I am sailing 2/1/15 and in St. Thomas 2/4 -can't find a tour. Air Force 1-Have Fun with Us Tours is fully booked. I have emailed Godfrey's Tours, but have not received a reply?? Guess it will have to be a taxi or ships tour.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidybabe Posted January 25, 2015 #15 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Just back from St Thomas on the Gem. Best tour in St Thomas is Godfrey tours. We have used him three years in a row. He picks you up at cruise terminal...you have time for shopping....(we visit the amazing synagogue there)...and Imperial Jewelers....back onto tour bus for a fantastic informative tour of the Island with numerous stops including mountain top...home to that wonderful drink.....then on to the botanical gardens for rum punch.....a stop at the beach (10 min or 2 hours) then back to she ship. It is truly an unbelievable tour for only $35- Godfrey tours is the best thing on the island.....we can't wait to go back to see him and his tour again.

Guess it will have to be a taxi or ships tour.:( Godfrey is slow to respond but they will. I had to pull their teeth to figure out if they had a tour to accommodate our noon arrival on Freedom of the Seas. Finally did and he will do a tour at 12:30. Beach, mountain top, shopping for $35.
