Scenic Island Drive & Pirates Treasure Museum
St. Thomas' seafaring history takes center stage on this pirate-themed island drive through colonial landmarks and interactive exhibits. Begin with a scenic ride to Drake's Seat, where views of Magens Bay and the British Virgin Islands trace the waters the famous privateer once sailed. A drive through Kongens Quarter follows, with a photo stop at Blackbeard's Castle and the famous 99 Steps. The afternoon anchors at the Pirates Treasure Museum, where local shipwreck artifacts, interactive exhibits, virtual reality dives, and a hurricane simulator bring centuries of Caribbean piracy to life before a short walk delivers you to shopping and the ship.
