Sky Ride from Crown Bay?

[Sweet Carolina Girl]

Hi! We are on Harmony in July and want to do the Sky Ride. Of course all of the ship excursions are sold out. How do you get there from Crown Bay? Is it fairly easy? We have a party of 8 including 2 kiddos. Thanks.

Yes very easy, no need to use the ship excursion.

Just hop a shared safari taxi heading there, you will see several taxis lined up at the dock, and the taxi coordinator and drivers will guide you to a taxi. Guessing the fare is probably ~$5 - $6/pp. You can be dropped at the bottom and ride the tram up to Paradise Point, or taxi up and ride the tram down…

 

The tram has been closed for maintenance but is scheduled to re-open tomorrow…

I'm planning to do Paradise Point with my kids from RCCL/Crown Bay, as well (in August). Ship excursion is sold out (and looks quite a bit more expensive). Do I need to pre-purchase tickets? Or can we just get a taxi to the bottom and pay when we get there? Just want to make sure we don't miss out, since we don't have anything else planned for St. Thomas. 

 

Thank you!

No need to purchase an excursion to ride the skyride.  Take a cab at Crown Bay to the Skyride entrance, pay your fee and enjoy the ride!   We plan to do this on our February 2023 cruise!

Check with your excursions desk on the ship, often they sell refundable tram passes for a few $$ less than you pay at the tram station. If not yes, just taxi there and get your passes as you board.
