Visit Trunk Bay & the Virgin Islands National Park

Explore St. John with a longtime resident! This private tour is conducted in a four-door Jeep Wrangler, so it is limited to four guests. (We do not go off-roading; I simply use a Jeep due to the island's steep roads.) I do not combine groups, so this tour will be tailored specifically for you & your group. We will spend a considerable amount of time in the Virgin Islands National Park where we will sightsee, check out the beaches, historical sites & more. We will take a quick ride over to Coral Bay and will hopefully see some donkeys along the way. There is an opportunity to stop for cocktails at a tiki bar or the popular Windmill Bar, or even a little snack. I can also show you some secret spots where the sea turtles are commonly seen. I have a five-star rating on TripAdvisor & I promise this will be the best day of your vacation! *If you are visiting from St. Thomas, you can take the 830am ferry for the 9am start time, and the noon ferry for the 1230pm start time.*

St. Thomas Cultural Heritage and Historic Walking Tour

This is not a typical sightseeing or shopping tour. It is a structured cultural heritage experience connecting immigration, faith, trade, and resistance into one cohesive story. Rather than simply pointing out landmarks, we interpret entire neighborhoods—explaining who built them, who governed them, who resisted, and how their legacy shapes the Virgin Islands today. Designed for travelers who value depth and context, this small-group experience transforms downtown Charlotte Amalie into a living archive of Caribbean history.

Talking to the locals—the people who live and work in these historic buildings and have their own chilling encounters to share. This isn’t your typical tourist fare. It’s raw, rooted in Virgin Islands history, and filled with the kind of ghost stories and legends you won’t hear anywhere else.
