St. Thomas Island Tour with Mountain Top and Magens Bay Beach

Samantha_F, Mar 2026

St Thomas tour and beach

The tour and beach were wonderful! Such a beautiful island. Magens Bay beach is busy but a great beach for swimming with sea turtles. Mountain top has a great view but was very busy. Transportation was in a typical St Thomas taxi which made the tour guide difficult to hear. Hamblet was a punctual and helpful guide.

St. Thomas Island Tour with Mountain Top and Magens Bay Beach

Jamie_S, Mar 2026

Ride to beach with few stops

The tour was easy to find after getting off ship. It was basically a ride to the beach and few places to take some nice pics. You could not hear what the driver was saying about the area while riding in the open air bus because the intercom on bus was quite faint. We stopped at mountain top and that was ok. A store for souvenirs, you can get a daiquiri, and take pic overlooking Magen’s Bay.

Great tour

Hamblet was a great tour operator. Very clear instructions and easy to communicate via WhatsApp. We decided after the beach at Magens Bay to take a taxi back. Aw just WhatsApp him told him the plan and we were on our way.

Great trip but prepare to be on island time.

Beautiful island and beach. Would be 5 stars but the driver was on island time and we had to race back to the ship. We were 45 minutes later than the time it said we would be back. We have visited and done this tour twice. Same issue both times. Just give yourself extra time

St Thomas

Know before you go

If you want to avoid cruise-ship crowds, head away from the taxi drop-off point, which is near the concession stand, and walk to more distant parts of the beach.
Parts of the nature trail are moderately steep, but there are steps and handrails.
The Mountain Top shop and bar is the purported birthplace of the banana daiquiri, so be sure to try one if you visit.
