Was wonderful to see the island outside of the resorts. Beaches were beautiful. Scott handled everything for us and made the tour a lot of fun. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see the whole island.

Absolutely amazing! Scott was super responsive and tailored our tour based on our interests. He brought us to two stunning secluded beaches where we swam with sea turtles. We’ve done Jeep tours in other locations and this was hands down the best experience we have ever had! If you’re thinking about it, just book the tour. You won’t regret it! Our group included me and my husband, and our 6 year old son.

Had an absolutely fantastic day exploring with Scott in his awesome open-air Jeep! The private beaches were stunning—perfect spots for swimming and relaxing. Thank you, Scott, for making our day in St. Thomas so unforgettable 😊

Scott was amazing. He showed us so much of the island in a half day. He took us to secluded, hidden beaches, which were amazing, and he brought snorkeling gear, chairs, and pool noodles for us to use. What a great day in St. Thomas!

The communication was clear and concise and left no questions about our adventures. Scott was punctual and very welcoming for our first trip to St. Thomas. We experienced many local spots and some hidden gems throughout our tour. We highly recommend this experience to anyone coming to the island.

Scott, the tour guide was punctual, knowledgeable and well versed about the island. He showed us all of the unique parts of St. Thomas and ensured all of requests were met including immersing us in the island's culture.

Scott was very knowledgeable and friendly. Taking his Jeep tour on our first day gave us an excellent lay of the land! Plus he gave great suggestions of things we could check out in our rental the rest of the week. The hidden gems he took us to we never would have found on our own! It was worth it to spend some time in areas less traveled. If you’re looking for beautiful photos away from crowded beaches this is the tour for you! He had all the supplies in the jeep we could need - including the rum punch!! 10/10!
Jason_L, Mar 2026
Awesome adventure around the island and experienced two beautiful and hard to get to beaches. Also included a trip to the highest point on the island. Scott is an awesome driver and guide!
Jennifer_H, Mar 2026
This tour is AMAZING! I cannot recommend this tour enough! Scott gave an incredible tour of the island. The private beaches you explore with this tour make the vacation an experience you will never forget! You will not experience the island the same without this tour! Book it today before it gets booked up! You will not be disappointed!
David_C, Mar 2026
Best excursion we have ever taken. If you want a small private tour with secluded beautiful stops this is it! Scott is great! I am telling you, you can't beat this experience!
Marisa_B, Mar 2026
Definitely worth it to have this experience! We went early on our vacation and it was great to get to know the island better. Scott was so knowledgeable on the surrounding restaurants, attractions, shopping, etc. He even told us the best local spots and hangouts. He really personalizes the tour for you! We wanted to pick up some cigars so he took us to the best spot. He pulls off at overlooks to give you a guide on where the other islands are. We went to the most amazing beach! & Mountain Top was just so fun and gorgeous. But when I had a desire for that afternoon ice coffee, he had no problem taking us for the best iced coffee I ever had! Book this tour for sure! Can't recommend this enough!
Michelle_H, Mar 2026
We spent the day with Scott today and had an amazing time! He communicated well prior to the trip and was prompt to pick us up off our cruise ship. We were able to see many of the highlights of St. Thomas, including swimming with the sea turtles. He adapts the day to what you want to see and is very knowledgeable of the island. We felt relaxed and comfortable with him driving and enjoyed spending the day with him. I would highly recommend Scott’s tour and I’m so thankful we booked with him!
Amy_B, Mar 2026
We absolutely loved our day with Scott on St. Thomas. We went to various scenic places, and several were secluded. We had a peaceful day and loved snorkeling! Being in the open air jeep gave us the full St. Thomas experience. Highly, highly recommend this tour. Worth every penny!
Laura_N, Feb 2026
What a fantastic day with Scott! Loved the island info and the hidden beaches. I highly recommend to others!
Diane_R, Feb 2026
Scott is very informative and knows the island well. Took us to beaches and tourists attractions we couldn't of found on our own. Highly recommend!
Marissa_J, Feb 2026
Scott was amazing! So nice and took us all over the island we had the absolute best time! If you’re looking for great views and beautiful beaches this is the tour for you!
Lisa_P, Feb 2026
Scott was the best! It was so fun to travel the island with a knowledgeable local. We went to all the cool spots - not crowded.
Debra_W, Feb 2026
We decided on a private excursion instead of ship excursion because they are overly crowded. Scott picked us up and took us all around the island including a beautiful hidden beach. He was very chill. Very relaxing half day.
Ivy_C, Jan 2026
We loved this tour! This excursion was one of the best things that we did while on our trip to St. Thomas! I cannot recommend it enough! It was so worth it, especially if you don’t have a rental car/don’t want to drive on the island! Scott took us everywhere we wanted and recommended us great spots based on what we wanted to see! The tour was super laidback and nice! Didn’t feel rushed at all! It’s a great way to see multiple places in just a few hours, and Scott took us to a beach we would’ve never gotten to go to if we hadn’t booked the tour! We also loved the rum punch that was included! This tour was fun with friends but it’s perfect for any type of group!! The only thing that we wish was that the tour was another hour or so longer! Seeing the island with the open air jeep was a great and unique way to see everything. It was so beautiful! Scott was also a great guide and pointed out a bunch of areas of the island while on the tour. If you’re thinking of ways to see the island in just a few hours, this excursion should definitely be on your list!
Kristine_H, Jan 2026
Scott was a wonderful tour guide! A nice balance of history, sights, and beautiful beaches. I particularly liked the off roading to a secluded beach. Thank you for a great day!
Jon_H, Jan 2026
Awesome private Jeep tour. Scott was super friendly and knowledgeable, and he took us to a couple of hidden beaches and viewpoints we never would have found on our own. Perfect way to see a lot of St. Thomas in a few hours, highly recommend.
Nathaniel_W, Jan 2026
Absolutely incredible tour! Scott is so laid-back and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. First, he took us up into the mountains for some amazing photo opportunities. My husband couldn’t get enough of the breathtaking views. Next, he brought us to a private, hidden beach where we truly felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. I didn’t even know beaches like that still existed!
Then we headed to another beach to snorkel with sea turtles. We saw several turtles and even a giant stingray. After that, our tour time was technically over, but we mentioned that we wanted to watch the sunset from one of the scenic overlooks he had shown us earlier. He graciously took us back up, and we ended the day watching one of the most beautiful sunsets we’ve ever seen—all while sipping delicious rum punch.
Thank you, Scott, for such an amazing day!
Emma_R, Jan 2026
Brilliant trip! Scott was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to some amazing places we would never have got to see if we had booked a private excursion! He provided us with water and rum punch which was made by his fiancé which was soooo good & also a camping chair each on the beach, which was a nice touch!
My only negative is that I would suggest that meeting point instructions are clearer prior to the excursion, as I did not have wifi throughout my trip.
Would highly recommend this excursion to others!
Brian_L, Jan 2026
What a great way to see St Thomas! Scott was awesome and in 4+ hours showed us all over the island and took us to a couple of beaches we would have never had the opportunity to see. An incredible excursion.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing Tropic Sun. It was my pleasure to show y'all around our beautiful island
JJ_A, Jan 2026
This was a wonderful private tour in a cool Jeep. Great way to explore the island. We did a half day and even though we got a late start with getting off our cruise ship, our guide was awesome and we made several stops and he gave us great facts and history of the different sights. The highlight was checking out a small beautiful beach - the kids loved the water and we got great photos. We even asked about car seat for our daughter, and they were happy to have it all ready to go. Thank you are a great excursion and memory! Highly recommend.
Dennis_f, Jan 2026
Scott was very knowledgeable about the island. He was enthusiastic and friendly. He customized our tour based on what we wanted to see. Would highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors. This was our third time here, and everything we saw was new to us.
April_M, Jan 2026
This was a great tour. Scott was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the island. We went to several amazing overlooks. The beaches were something you would not see on your own. Very secluded and off the beaten path. The first stop we snorkeled with a sea turtle. Highlight of our trip to St. Thomas.
Susan_B, Dec 2025
This tour was the best tour we've taken. Being able to go to secluded beaches, swim in the breathtaking waters, hands down the greatest experience! Would highly recommend and I'd do it again!
Alexandra_G, Dec 2025
This Jeep tour was by far the highlight of our entire trip! Even though we only had a few hours in St. Thomas, booking a tour on our own was the best decision we could have made.
Our guide Scott was incredibly friendly and relaxed and shared lots of interesting insights about the island and local life. Since we wanted to avoid the typical tourist spots, he took us to his personal favorite places — beautiful, secluded bays far away from the crowds. You should be in good walking shape, as reaching some of these spots requires short hikes, but it is absolutely worth it.
We watched pelicans hunting, saw crabs along the beach, spotted turtles, and even walked through a small jungle area with old, overgrown buildings. It was hard to believe that several cruise ships were in port at the same time — we felt completely alone.
An unforgettable experience and highly recommended!

Communication needs to be addressed and company has no plan b for vehicle maintenance. Went a month with no reply to a request to adjust meet time. Took a 2nd prompt from me and one from Viator to get a response. Explained that we wouldn’t be able to communicate while on boat but finally confirmed meet location and time. Arrived to meet point with a message that Jeep was in the shop and they needed to cancel the tour. When asked what she suggested we do to see the island- her response was to take taxis. (On st Thomas- that is a mess for multiple stops). Bucket list stop turned into a day full of paranoia that we wouldn’t be able to get back to the boat on time. No tour of secret beaches as planned for months prior.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re very sorry you didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy your day on St. Thomas with us. We were truly looking forward to showing you and your family the island.
Unfortunately, our Jeep experienced an unexpected mechanical failure, which was not foreseeable and prevented us from operating as planned. We understand how disappointing that can be.
We hope you have since received a full refund. If you return to St. Thomas in the future, please reach out—we would be happy to offer you and your family a complimentary tour.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
