Overview

Learn about the local culture and life on the smallest Virgin Island. Highlights of the tour include Cruz Bay, Annaberg Ruins, and one of St. John’s premier historic sites, Leinster Bay Trail.

The Annaberg Sugar Plantation is a partially restored but the most intact sugar plantation in the Virgin Islands. It keeps the memory of the grueling times in 1717 when slaves were forced to work on the plantation which resulted in a revolt in 1733 that led to the abolishment of slavery.

It was discovered and built by Laurence Rockefeller in 1956 while sailing on a family cruise. This luxurious hideaway is accessible only by boat/ferry and its beaches are widely considered to be among the best in the world. Enjoy beach time at Trunk Bay. Relax in the sand, rent some snorkel gear or bring your gear to explore the self-guided underwater world. Lunch stop is optional at your own expense.

What's Included

  • Pick-up at both cruise ports in St. Thomas and/or selected hotels
  • National Park fees
  • Driver/guide
  • Lunch
  • Gratuities
  • Round-trip ferry tickets to St. John

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
