What it's like

Paradise Point is a hilltop overlook above the harbor at Charlotte Amalie. It sits in the Havensight area, across from Port of Sale and Wendy's, and the Skyride tram is the way up. The top has a Skywalk, souvenir shops and a bistro restaurant.

A visit is simple. Ride up, look out over the harbor, walk the short trail where local flowers and birds can be found, then stop for a drink at Taste, known for the Baileys Bushwacker. Allow time for the ride back down before the tram closes for the day.

Good to know

  • Leave enough time for the ride back down before the tram closes for the day.
  • The Skyride may close briefly in high winds or lightning.
  • The kitchen at Taste closes 30 minutes before the last tram down.
  • Paradise Point is not handicap accessible.
