Private Tour
Private Open-Air Jeep Adventure with Tropic Sun –Hidden Beaches
Overview
Available languages
4 hours
Mobile ticket
This is a fully private experience — never shared with strangers — designed specifically for cruise guests who want more than a standard island loop.
We take you beyond the crowded bus routes and into the real St. Thomas. Travel dirt backroads to secluded beaches, walk short scenic trails to hidden coves, explore historic plantation ruins, and stop at panoramic overlooks most visitors never reach.
Your open-air Jeep provides unobstructed views and a true island feel — no glass, no tour bus windows, just sunshine, breeze, and unforgettable scenery.
Because it’s private, the day moves at your pace. Want extra beach time? Prefer scenic overlooks and photo stops? Traveling with kids? We adjust the experience to fit your group.
We also understand cruise schedules. Pickup is available from both cruise ports, and your tour is carefully timed for a relaxed, stress-free return to your ship.
This isn’t just sightseeing — it’s your personal island adventure.

5.00Scott was great. Great private tour to places we never would have seen! It was very convenient to have the snorkel gear and chairs available. My daughter and her husband loved the run punch!

5.00What a great day! Scott was fantastic! The open air jeep was so much fun, all the amazing off-the-beaten-path beaches were beautiful, and the snorkeling at Brewer’s Bay was amazing! We didn’t want the day to end! Thank you Scott for such a wonderful day!

5.00Was wonderful to see the island outside of the resorts. Beaches were beautiful. Scott handled everything for us and made the tour a lot of fun. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see the whole island.

5.00This is one of the best ways to experience the island. Carlos was excellent, very knowledgeable about the history and the best places to visit. Carlos let us go at our pace, staying longer in places we wanted more time and leaving or skipping sites that we were less interested in. Thank you Carlos for the memories.
Excellent Start to our week on St Thomas

5.00Scott was very knowledgeable and friendly. Taking his Jeep tour on our first day gave us an excellent lay of the land! Plus he gave great suggestions of things we could check out in our rental the rest of the week. The hidden gems he took us to we never would have found on our own! It was worth it to spend some time in areas less traveled. If you’re looking for beautiful photos away from crowded beaches this is the tour for you! He had all the supplies in the jeep we could need - including the rum punch!! 10/10!
Best excursion on the island.

5.00My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Scott and learned so much about the Island history. We loved being able to visit private beaches and see ruins from old plantations. St. Thomas is so beautiful and its strong sense of community shines through. One man on our travels stopped us and gave us mangos from his garden! Scott seems to love the Island and is so knowledgeable about good restaurants, shopping, popular attractions and the best views to showcase STT. We were never hurried. I highly recommend Tropic Sun Jeep Excursions!
