More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine hums and the road peels away from Charlotte Amalie as a compact Jeep curls up the island’s ridgelines, ocean spray daring the windows and sun chiseling the hills. In 90 minutes a private guide threads folklore and local color through sharp lookout stops — the view at Mountain Top where the Banana Daiquiri earned its fame, the wind-scoured ledge called Drake’s Seat, and the narrow, cobbled streets of the historic downtown.
