The experience

What makes this tour work is the flexibility. You're not locked into a set itinerary, instead, you tell the guide what you want to see, and the five hours shape around that. Beach hopping, historical sites, local restaurants, or a combination: the route is yours. The guide is a certified local who knows the island's Danish and American past and can steer you toward what's worth your time. You travel in an open-air or coach vehicle depending on the weather and your preference, which means you see the harbor, the port and the vistas without being sealed behind glass.

Pickup happens at your hotel or cruise port, and the guide times the return to match your ship's departure if you're sailing out that day. Light refreshments and complimentary Cruzan Rum come with the booking. The pace is yours. You're not rushing between ten stops on a schedule, so if a beach or a viewpoint holds your attention, you stay. Families travel together, and infant seats are available if you request one when you book.

Top questions

Can I customize the tour if I'm arriving on a cruise ship?

Yes. Cruise passengers book the same private tour and customize it the same way, but you'll need to provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time at checkout so the guide plans the return to get you back before departure.

What's included in the five hours?

Private transportation, a certified local guide, light refreshments and complimentary Cruzan Rum. You choose the stops and the pace, whether that's Megan's Beach, historical landmarks, local cuisine or a mix.

How does the open-air vehicle work in bad weather?

The tour uses either an open-air or coach vehicle. The guide will select based on the weather and conditions on the day, so you're covered either way.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

Yes, it's suitable for all fitness levels. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and infant seats are available on request if you let the operator know at booking.
