I could not wait to get to the top. After we go off the ride I was surprised to see how unkept the area was. The view was gorgeous and made up for the condition of the building. To give the owners a little credit they have just begun to redo the bar area. This is a no miss attraction... More

The view from Paradise Point is one of the most extraordinary on the island. There a a few nice shops up top, and nightly entertainment in season. You will miss the fire-twirler who is leaving today. More

I was reading some of the reviews and was shocked by the negative ones. I came here with family back in January 2012 and we had a wonderful time. The ride up was awesome. The views were amazing. People complaining about the ventilation are ridiculous. Of course it is hot in the carribean. There are little windows with vents towards... More

After a day of snorkeling at our resort and shopping at the Market Square we took the tram up to the top of Paradise Point. We did not have to wait in line and had a tram all to ourselves. The views of the island were gorgeous! At the top of the tram, we walked up the path of the... More

We read several online reviews that stated this attractions had been upgraded and was now wheelchair accessible. Not so! You have to climb alot of stairs to get to the tram. We took a cab ride to this and could not go to the top. More

The price for this tramway has risen to $21! You can ride a ferris wheel and walk a path for that money, but come on. The food prices have gone up and the quality of their bushwacker is poor. Fish & Chips for $13.50, $9.50 for a couple of conch fritters. The food was completely unremarkable. The only thing going... More

We came in on the NCL Epic and purchased the tickets on the ship prior to heading over to the Sky Tram. The views were spectacular especially from the Ferris wheel. We took some great pictures and sat on the deck overlooking the Island and sampled the Bushwacker!!! (A very Tasty Drink!) It was one of the more affordable excursions... More

The staff at the Paradise Point Tramway were professional and polite, helping us into and out of the tramway cars. Once up on the peak, the views were amazing. However, I felt that my enjoyment of the views was compromised by the hilltop experience. Namely, the souvenir shop/hilltop bar playing loud techno music. And this was at 10:00 am. While... More

I rated this "very good" because of the views! I would probably have rated it "average" for the ride and the attraction itself. After packing into a gondola like a sardine, we headed up to the top where there was a restaurant, we did not eat there but I have heard the Bushwacker drink is really good! :) There were... More

We had spent the day in Tortola and arrived back in St. Thomas about 2 hours before our ship left port. The Paradise Point Tramway is across the street from the cruise dock and very easy to find. My 8 year old daughter loved the tram ride and the Ferris wheel and bungee trampoline at the top - both of... More
