gsxr_moe Posted January 25, 2012 #26 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Has anyone done this excursion lately?? Haven't really seen a lot about it on here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merinski Posted January 25, 2012 #27 Share Posted January 25, 2012 We were just there. We thought the price is high, but if you have never done it, I recommend it. The views are great! We got some very good pictures! There are stairs to go up to some higher points, but I did it after snorkeling in the morn. We saw a few animals. Some peacocks,goats, a couple beautiful parrots! There is a little shopping & a restaurant, we didn't go to the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagSeven1413 Posted January 25, 2012 #28 Share Posted January 25, 2012 If you don't take the tram but are out and about on your own, you can get your driver to take you up. By all means, have a bushwacker. Now I can't wait for summer to come to the 'Burgh so we can have our patio bushwacker picnics. *sigh* (Or our Halloween cruise on the Victory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted January 26, 2012 #29 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Paradise Point is a great spot to end your day on St Thomas. The views are exceptional and the food and drink at the restaurant is good. We renewed our vows at the gazebo up above the restaurant and the girls enjoyed surfboard shots after having a bite. Always a fun spot and highly recommended. Yoy can drive or ride the tram one or both ways. You can buy tram tickets through the excursions desk on the ship. The tram is just a short walk from the Havensight dock so if you go back to your cabin to clean up first you can walk to the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibcnusoon Posted February 2, 2012 #34 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thinking of getting dropped off here on our way back from the beach. We'll only need to ride the tram down the mountain. What is the cost for one-way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted February 3, 2012 #35 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thinking of getting dropped off here on our way back from the beach. We'll only need to ride the tram down the mountain. What is the cost for one-way? 1/2 the cost of a two-way trip :p No, we paid $12/couple for 4 couples coming down, they gave us a little break because we were talking to them for a bit. If you're on a cruise it should be $10/pp each way I believe. PP is an excellent spot to end the day on the island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it will be onboard!:o I may pre-book, just to get it out of the way; then if it's raining 'cats and dogs', I can get the $$ back as an OBC! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted February 5, 2012 #38 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We did that our first time. Hopefully you have great weather - it may rain a bit but generally turns beautiful the rest of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merinski Posted February 5, 2012 #40 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We were just there. It cost $21 ea. for the sky ride for both ways through Celebrity. It was the same price when we got to the sky ride. We got it with the ship & you can take it back if you don't use it. I recomend doing it if you haven't done it before, great views!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sansterre Posted February 13, 2012 #42 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Wondering if there aren't some coupon books in St. Thomas with discount fares on the tram? $21 seems a bit high for 7 minute ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted February 13, 2012 #43 Share Posted February 13, 2012 $20 is a decent price for the experience, really not that pricey in today's $$. You may be able to google up some coupons for $1 off their Bailey's Bushwacker. Don't sweat the cost, it's a fun day and a neat place to spend a few hours with a great view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piglet33 Posted July 23, 2012 #44 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I did find this coupon for the bushwacker. I thought it use to be a $2 coupon, but it's now a $1 coupon. Hey, every little thing helps. :D http://www.virginislandsmap.com/stthomas/landactivities/paradisepoint-coupon.htm We're going in December, and I just found the $2 coupon again: http://virginislandsthisweek.clipone.com/?clipone_coupon=coupon/c1238682283&clipone_action=print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't expire until March 2013 too so hopefully a lot of people will be able to use this by then. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardeningmama Posted July 23, 2012 #46 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The view is fantastic as are the bushwackers but I also went on the Godfrey tour in Nov and we stopped at Mountaintop. That is a great view and of Megan's beach. I have been on a lot of cruises but that beach is the most beautifull I've seen. The Godfrey tour was definately worth doing and much less expensive than anything the cruise ship can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted July 23, 2012 #47 Share Posted July 23, 2012 They have a ferris wheel and trampoline-type thing that you can do when you get up there. Great for kids, and it's the most incredible view you'll ever have on a ferris wheel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
