Skyride To Pardise Point & Pirates Treasure Museum

OVERVIEW

Take in the spectacular tropical views while riding an aerial tram to the top of Paradise Point, where you will browse a museum full of authentic artifacts from shipwrecks. As you ascend in a window-walled gondola on the Skyride tram, you will enjoy panoramic views of downtown Charlotte Amalie, your cruise ship in the harbor and the lush landscape beyond. If it is a clear day, you can spot Puerto Rico to the west. Free time at the summit will allow you to view St. Thomas from several other perspectives, including the Skywalk. While wandering through the hilltop Pirates Treasure Museum, you will see booty recovered from centuries-old shipwrecks. The collection includes pistols and cannons, bars of gold and silver, and rare items from ships lost in hurricanes. To better understand how the treasures were recovered, try to pick up coins using the remote-controlled arm of a replica deep-sea vehicle.
