Skyride to Paradise Point
Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
Skyride to Paradise Point replaces the unresolved mixed-format Hassel Island entry with a cleaner, current and distinctly named attraction on St Thomas. The aerial tram rises above Charlotte Amalie and quickly delivers the kind of harbour panorama many visitors want without requiring a strenuous climb. It is an easy, legible experience: dramatic views, a short ride and a strong sense of the island’s topography as harbour, hills and surrounding water fall into place beneath you. It earns this lower-top-ten position because it is memorable, practical and well supported as a current St Thomas attraction, even if it lacks the historical or ecological depth of the higher-ranked entries. It suits first-time visitors, cruise passengers and anyone wanting a scenic stop that is straightforward to fit into a day in town.
