Our ATV tour last approximately 1 1/2 -2 hours and covers 13 miles of tropical terrain.

It begins by riding along the west end coast before heading up into the hills. We make an stop at a overlook that gives you fantastic views of the north shore. As we continue, we make our way to the top of Mt. Stewart where you see panoramic views of the surrounding ocean. We visit plantation ruins from the early 1800’s where you get time to explore and take photographs. From there we descend through the sub-tropic Rain Forrest before ending the tour at a local beach with an on site restaurant/bar.

$135.00 per machine

On the Beach…

Our best tropical trail ride is not complete without a ride along the beach. We have a picture stop to preserve the memory of the beautiful white sandy shore, the blues of the sea, and the picturesque coconut trees rising tall in the background. Jill will be happy to snap each individual group’s photos with their own camera. This ride also includes a nature tour to the rain forest, through the ruins of an historic slave village, then across the country pastures with gigantic Rain Trees, plus scenic hill top views.

Approximately a 1.5 hour tour, with an extra half-hour for check-in and mounting. Rides are available for families with little kids or older folks. Private rides by special request can be arranged at additional cost with several days notice (but are unlikely to be available around holidays).

Unlike the rest of the Caribbean Islands, U.S. Passports are NOT required for U.S. citizens travelling to the USVI!

St. George Village Botanical Garden of St. Croix is located on a sixteen acre site just off the Queen Mary Highway. The botanical collections, including over 1500 native and exotic species and varieties, are established in and around the restored buildings and stabilized ruins of a 19th century Danish sugar cane plantation. St. George offers island visitors a unique blend of St. Croix’s botanical, historical, and cultural heritage. The Museum Store and retail nursery offers a variety of tropical whimsies.

Established in 1948, our mission is to advance understanding and appreciation of the unique historical and cultural legacy of St. Croix through preservation, research and education. The Landmarks Society is located at Whim Plantation and manages and operates three museums, Whim Plantation, Lawaetz Museum, and the Christiansted Apothecary Hall. In addition we have one of the best Caribbean Libraries in the world which has over 1200 books and manuscripts, 40,000 historical photographs, and over 1000 linear feet of archive documents from as early as the 1800s.
