There is no better way to enjoy your visit to the island than being in charge of your own time and not being crammed into a vehicle with others and on a driver's timeline or having a guide rushing you. With Island Buggy Excursions, we will give you our suggested sites to visit on either the west end or east end of the island. Or we can customize your excursion based on sites you're interested in. It is then up to you to determine how long you stay at each stop. You'll enjoy driving one of the coolest vehicles on the island. Enjoy the fresh air and all of the beautiful sites. It will be a day you and yours will never forget. Please bring towels if you plan on dipping in one or more than one of the beautiful beaches.

5.00This was such a great time! We booked this as excursion for our cruise and it was flawless. They were in contact with us before got off the ship and directed us where to go. They met us with the buggy and gave us a run down of how to operate it, etc. The buggy itself was great and is able to connect right to your phone so you can use the GPS around the island. We had four of us and the back seats can get a bit tight if you're a bigger person but we made do and had room for our bags, etc. They even had four beach chairs in the buggy which was much appreciated for the beach. They start out by giving you addresses to go to and keep in contact with you all day. Their lunch suggestion was great! My husband drove the whole time as you have to drive on the left side of the road so the rest of us wanted nothing to do with that lol. He had a blast! Really we had such a good time and with four of us it was super affordable! We loved St. Thomas!
Amazing must do !!

5.00It was wonderful and fun to explore the island by ourself in our time and what we wnat to see and how long we stay . The host is amazing help us with stips aling the way with recommended stops and must see he guided us the whole way took us every told us where to get to everywhere. We wanted to just use the Maps on our phone Waze and we were able to see the entire island at half the price of the cruise ship excursions this is a must do if you wanna see the island on your time on your schedule and play by your rules.

5.00Liston and Jordan we're both super helpful. Best way to see St. Thomas in my opinion we got to see so much in our limited time coming off of the cruise ship.

5.00Absolutely recommend Island Buggy Excursions. This is a wonderful way to expolre on your own! As it is a self guided tour, you can take your time and explore the island the way you want. You will recieve destinations via text on what to see in the area you are in and based on when you need to be back to your ship, if on a cruise. The buggies are a ton of fun and do great on the narrow mountain roads. We got off the ship and the buggy rentals are right in the port. John and Liston are super friendly, helpful and have great recommendations for the tourist hot spots and local hangouts. We will definitely be renting again on our next visit!
Great Day With the Buggy

5.00It was great and easy to coordinate pick up. We loved being on our own schedule and not locked in and could explore the island at our own pace. The buggy's are cool and fit 4 adults including beach chairs and snorkle gear. Highly reccomend to anyone.
The Definitive Way to Experience St. Thomas!

5.00I've gotta say, this might be the best shore excursion we've ever had! As soon as we'd booked, Liston reached out to make sure he had the right contact info. Once at the port, he was clear about where we'd meet up, which was just outside the port, and showed us everything we needed to get going. He then told us he'd be guiding us by text message, which is something I'd never experienced before and wasn't sure what to expect. Let me tell you, this has got to be the definitive way to experience a new place, especially in the Caribbean! Liston gave us spots to head to every time we were ready, and since we were by ourselves, we could do everything at our own pace. Really enjoying the view of some vista he recommended? We can just hang out and shoot him a text when we're ready for the next spot. Water is perfect and we want to swim for another 30 minutes? That's cool, we can just let Liston know when we're ready. We were able to check out most of the great spots around St Thomas thanks to Liston, and had an AMAZING lunch. That was another big pro to this approach to tour guiding. We let him know when we were starting to feel hungry and he made a recommendation based on where we were that was a truly local experience. This was a great way to experience St. Thomas, and I'd recommend this to anyone!
