jryansales Posted March 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hey CC’ers! Need ideas for things to do in St Thomas. It is the last stop on our April cruise and we’re looking for a break from the beach, so hoping for something a little unique. Thanks in advance!

Ms411 Posted March 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2018 What do you like to do? Are there kids in your group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jryansales Posted March 14, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 14, 2018 What do you like to do? Are there kids in your group? No kids! We’re a late twenties couple & up for just about anything. We will have excursions planned at 4 other ports and will have had plenty of beach time, so looking for something different on St Thomas.

Ms411 Posted March 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2018 You could do a local food tour with St Thomas Food Tours. Many non beach attractions have not yet reopened after the storm so your options are limited for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphinsc Posted March 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We are doing an ecotour in the mangrove swamps. Kayaking, hiking, and snorkeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms411 Posted March 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2018 The company offering the kayak hike snorkel is VI Ecotours. Their excursions are also offered through most ships, but you can also book on your own on a separate tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted March 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Blackbeard's Castle is just up the hill from the east end of town (above the flea market). Nice swimming pools and shops and great place for amber (amber waterfall and museum). Used to have a shipwreck artifact shop and rum making but didn't see these on our last trip. No idea if it is open, though. St Thomas is mostly beaches and shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCruzzing Posted March 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Blackbeard's Castle is just up the hill from the east end of town (above the flea market). Nice swimming pools and shops and great place for amber (amber waterfall and museum). Used to have a shipwreck artifact shop and rum making but didn't see these on our last trip. No idea if it is open, though. St Thomas is mostly beaches and shopping. Went up to the Castle in Feb and they said they will be closed permanently as they received extensive damage from the hurricanes and it would cost too much and take too long to get a return on investment. It’s a real shame as the place was great Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2PinaColadas Posted March 17, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 17, 2018 After several land vacations on St. Thomas, I would recommend parasailing then Red Hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphinsc Posted March 19, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Through what company? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Virgin Island Ecotours. We booked through them directly to pick a different time and different duration than the ship excursion (didn't want the added lunch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
