⛺ Zip-Lining In The Mountains of St. Thomas, USVI (5 Original Photos)
Here are some more photos from one of our recent Caribbean cruises. This is on the scenic island of St. Thomas, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our excursion on this day took us zip-lining high up in the forested mountains with spectacular views of the ocean and coastline for over 1,000 ft above sea level.

This was an amazing experience where we got to traverse 7 different levels on our way down. The final zipline had no end point. You went down the line and slide back and forth until you settled in the middle. They then moved a rolling platform over to let you down.

The views from each of the launching towers were amazing. We had 180 panoramic views of the island, beaches, and ocean.

St. Thomas was hit hard in late 2017 by a series of Hurricanes that damaged or destroyed most of the forested areas, and homes across the island. We hope to return to St. Thomas in the future once they are able to recover from the loss.

Nice :D i like this :D
that looks really cool, looks like a lot of fun! I'd say it's a shame we missed out on that, but then again, that van ride between the airport and Red Hook probably gave us a pretty similar experience as zip-lining!
Though thinking about it, zip-lining is probably still safer and more enjoyable, as the back of our heads are still recovering from bumping up against the roof, not to mention the fear that our luggage was gonna bounce up and out the back window! lol 😂
First pic with vast ocean behind it really looks breathtaking. Endless space and freedom. Beautiful.
That's cool, but I think the second picture takes the cake. Not only showcasing the blues of the harbor waters, but it looks like they'll zipline right straight into that water!
Those pictures are simply astounding! The color of the water is surreal. I'm not sure I would have the gut to do that zip-line descent.
Wow awesome. Could definitely put this on my bucket list of places to visit.
Hey there... thanks for sharing info about this place! I'm curious if you went before or after the hurricanes? If you went after the hurricanes, what did you notice about the place... have they done a good job re-building so far or is there still tons of work to do? Did you really see much of the island or just where the tours took you? I hope all those destinations have a good tourist season this year to help bring in some cash flow to the islands!
