Girls trip
We had a blast! The driver was informative and so friendly. Take a chance on vacationing during hurricane season, beaches, restaurants, tours, other activities not crowded or busy!

Frequently Asked Questions
People Also Ask
Q:What is Mountain Top known for?
A: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?
A: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?
A: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?
A: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?
A: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?
A: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.
