Mountain Top Tours and Tickets

Q: What is Mountain Top known for?

Mountain Top is the highest point on St. Thomas and marks the top of St. Peter Mountain. In addition to views overlooking Magens Bay beach and over a dozen other islands, Mountain Top boasts a restaurant, a souvenir emporium, and a bar—the birthplace of the banana daiquiri, no less.

Q: What is there to do at Mountain Top?

Most travelers spend their time admiring the expansive views, taking photographs, waiting in line to grab a drink, and browsing the kitschy souvenirs for sale. (This is no small feat, given the size of the shop.) Unsurprisingly, a banana daiquiri is the standard cocktail, although you’ll find other options, too.

Q: How can I reach Mountain Top?

Mountain Top is the most popular viewpoint on St. Thomas, so it’s no wonder it’s an indispensable spot on most sightseeing tours, including shore excursions for cruise-ship passengers. (Those typically include transportation.) Independent travelers can easily reach the tourist hotspot by taxi or rental car if you prefer to drive yourself.

Q: What kinds of souvenirs can I find at Mountain Top?

You name it, you’re likely to find it. This is one of the biggest souvenir shops on St. Thomas, and one of the largest duty-free stores in the Caribbean. It’s a great spot for picking up hats and t-shirts or other themed apparel, plus jewelry, magnets, pottery, and keepsakes.

Q: Is Mountain Top a good destination for families with kids?

Yes, while banana daiquiris are one of Mountain Top’s biggest claims to fame—they are said to have been invented here back in 1949—there are plenty of non-alcoholic refreshments that kids can enjoy, not to mention ice cream. Plus, the million-dollar view is a hit with travelers of all ages.

Q: What is the best time of day for visiting Mountain Top?

Mountain Top gets bustling when cruise ships are in port, usually around midday or early afternoon. If you’re staying overnight on St. Thomas and keen to beat the rush, consider coming in the early morning. Make sure to pick a sunny day as overcast weather conditions can damper the view.

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.

The tour was as...

The tour was as advertised. The Beach was nice but not as Great as it was hyped up to be. Our guide did a Great job with historical information and engagement with passengers. Good value for your $$.

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 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
