The Skyride to Paradise Point is an aerial tram in Havensight that carries visitors to a lookout 700 feet above St. Thomas Harbor and Charlotte Amalie; on clear days the view reaches St. Croix, Vieques and Culebra. The ride takes about seven minutes, and each cabin holds up to eight people. At the top are a restaurant and bar known for its Bushwacker, souvenir shops and a Skywalk. As of October 2026, round-trip tickets cost $34.95 for adults, $24.95 for children and $15 for residents and cruise crew, sold only at the ticket window or through cruise lines. The tram usually opens at 9 a.m. on cruise ship days and posts a monthly schedule; the last tram down leaves an hour after the closing time. The base station, across from Port of Sale, is about a 10-minute walk from the West Indian Company dock. It is not wheelchair accessible.
