Skyride to Paradise Point
A cable car from beside the cruise terminal to the mountaintop, overlooking Charlotte Amalie harbor and the giant cruise ships docked there. The sunset views are excellent.
The cable car departs from across from the Havensight cruise terminal and reaches Paradise Point, about 210 meters high, within a few minutes. The summit platform overlooks the whole of Charlotte Amalie harbor, Water Island and distant St. Croix. It has a bar, a souvenir shop and a small bird show, and its signature drink is the banana daiquiri. A round-trip ticket costs over $20. Cruise days mean long queues, so going up in the evening to watch the sunset is best.
