Things to do in  St Thomas

This gem in the US Virgin Islands welcomes visitors with sun, sand, and shopping—all the essentials. The capital, Charlotte Amalie, bustles with a jumble of small streets lined with colonial buildings, duty-free shops, and restaurants where you can while the day away. Take a private or group city sightseeing tour to visit historic landmarks like Fort Christian Museum and Hotel 1829, and also explore the lookout at Drake’s Seat for a magnificent view. Then get ready for fun on a water adventure tour, ranging from kayaking and snorkeling, to scuba diving and stand-up paddleboarding. Or head with a group to impressive Caribbean beaches, including pristine Lindquist Beach, popular Magens Bay, and tranquil Hull Bay. Get up close to the blue sea on a tour that takes you sport fishing on St. Thomas; snorkeling with sea turtles; or diving in French Cap, Cow and Calf, and Eagle Shoals. Or ease into a peaceful kayak excursion through the mangrove lagoons. Thrill-seekers can try their hand at a parasailing flight that rewards with spectacular views. Day trips to other islands allow travelers to easily discover St. John’s vast national parkland and the British Virgin Islands’ natural pools and exotic sea life.
