Fantastic St. Thomas Race

We had an amazing time doing the Fantastic Race in St. Thomas. Bonnie and her staff were amazing and the race was a good way to see some of the town while on St. Thomas. You will do quite a bit of walking so have a comfortable pair of shoes. They provide water along the way and after you finish you get part of a sandwich, chips, water, and adult beverages. Would recommend this as an excursion while in St Thomas!

We had a blast during our Fantastic Race! Ice cold beer and sandwiches awaited us at the finish line and we got to see so much of the city! Make sure you have your walking shoes! Thanks to Bonnie Debbie for a great experience.. helps that we won!

We had a great time doing the Fantastic St. Thomas race. Our experience exceeded our expectations. It was long enough to feel like an adventure (about 2.5 miles), but not so long that the kids lost interest (there's a 2 hour time limit to finish). It was a perfect way to spend the time we had at this port. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and they took such good care of us. We enjoyed interacting with local people and visiting their businesses in search of clues around the city.

We had such a great time! The ladies were great and extremely patient with us cruisers! Definitely recommend this for all that want to do something privately!

We had a ton of fun on our Race. It did include a fair amount of walking and the Race coordinators gave us water which was nice. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing historic Charlotte Amalie. People were very helpful and nice along the Race. We had done a Race previously which was helpful in understanding how the puzzles work in the different clues. Our family had six team members but most of the other teams had two people. Having more people did help us figure out some clues faster.

If you are active and want to have a great time in St. Thomas, sign up! Loved this experience with our family!

This was a great way to spend the morning. Friendly competition and a chance to explore parts of St Thomas that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. The organizers were friendly and encouraging. Our teenagers were entertained.

This was one of the most fun excursions we've ever done! I am so glad we found it. We learned a lot, and visited spots we might not ordinarily have found on our own! We were a group of five, so we broke up into two groups in order to compete against each other, and that made it even more fun! Bonnie and Dave were so friendly and it was really cool to hang out and talk with them about life on the island after the race while we enjoyed drinks and sandwiches. The locals we interacted with were all very friendly and we really enjoyed this. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about our experience. We did a similar excursion on St. Maarten several years ago, but this one was loads better!!! Thank you!!!

That the morning competition attracts more participants, which is more fun, and that if you are on a Celebrity or Royal Caribbean cruise ship, you will have to take an $8 a person taxi to get to the starting point.

This is a fun excursion. Dress comfortable and be prepared for a lot of walking. The fantastic race team is very friendly and engaging. The first part at the children's museum was super fun and challenging to discover the clues. It would have been nice to meet more vendors in the scavenger hunt. Overall it is a great excursion.

Be prepared to get your steps in. It's not grueling, but it's definitely exercise. It was a fun way to see parts of the island we wouldn't have otherwise.

We started in last place at the first stop, but we kept moving and ended up in first place! The stops along the way were interesting, and we definitely saw things we never would have seen on our own. The party at the end was fun and the food & drinks hit the spot.

Super fun! LOTS of walking (over 5 miles from cruise ship and back plus the race!) You’ll see and experience parts of St. Thomas you probably wouldn’t otherwise. Locals are so nice and helpful when they see your race lanyard. Don’t try to win-just enjoy the fun experience!

This was a unique and fun experience with the family. It's a lot of activity and walking but you get to see areas of St. Thomas you wouldn't see otherwise! I would like if it was a bit longer. We had a good competitive time!

We had such a great time! Our family of 4 is competitive, and this was just the thing for us! Thanks to Debbie and Bonnie for a great experience.

What an awesome experience! Even in the pouring rain we had an amazing time! We met another couple joined forces and were victorious! Only one speed bump why a clue had been taken, Still SO much fun!!

The race was unique, challenging and fun. Great way to spend a port day and was able to complete and still spend time in St Thomas

We did this while our cruise ship was docked at St Thomas. It exceeded my expectations. We had to solve clues and then get to the next location. There is a lot of walking, like 2 miles, but along flat streets and sidewalks.

fun time, even though we were a small group..race was enjoyable and hosts were great (Bonnie and Debbie)

Awesome fun! About 2 hours, my (pregnant) wife and I did this together. We had a great time, saw a lot of sights and loved Debbie and Bonnie!

This was a fantastic fun way to get a taste of St Thomas! Bonnie and Debbie were great hosts, and everyone we met along the way was really friendly. Our whole family had a great time including our kids (5 and 8) and the adults. It had its tricky moments but wasn't super difficult... just enough to keep us all interested and looking forward to the next clue. Definitely worth the price! The kids were wishing there was one in every port we're visiting.

If you are looking for a fun way to explore Charlotte Amalia and get a taste of the local culture, this is a must do! Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking roughly 2.5 miles total. There are drinks and snacks provided at the end of the race, and an award for the winning team. Debbie and Bonnie took such great care of us. And the best part - my husband and I were the winning team. So if you find yourself in St. Thomas - BOOK THIS!

This is a great experience, the instructors are very nice and welcoming. This a great way to explore the island and meet people. I would advise everyone to wear comfortable shoes, and on a hot day bring a portable fan. I did this on my actual birthday and I enjoyed every minute.

We had a blast doing the race! We were able to explore and see parts of the island that we wouldn’t have known were even there. It was so fun to meet Miss Patricia and visit all of the amazing places on the race. By the end we had a list of places we wanted to head back to, to spend some more time. The 2 wonderful women running the race were so happy and kind. They were a joy to work with!! What a great experience!!

This was so much fun! The organizers truly showed they cared about the racers, making it fun and capturing the island's culture at the checkpoints. We really enjoyed it, and couldn't stop talking about it when we got back home. Can't thank Bonnie and her team enough for this experience!

Our family has visited St. Thomas on several occasions and wanted to do something different while cruising. Tried the Fantastic Race and had a blast. It was a great way to see places we probably have walked by on many trips. Wear good walking shoes! It was a fun way to enjoy family time and work together to find clues and navigate with a map.

The Fantastic Race lived up to its name. The puzzles were challenging, and took us all over the neighborhood we were in Highly recommend this, but be prepared to WALK. Good luck if you do, my team won!

Great communication prior to our event. We knew right where to go and who to ask for. They were visible along the race route as well so we knew we were not truly on our own in St. Thomas. We felt very safe, local vendors recognized our badges and gave us encouragement along the way and it did not take all day so we were able to go to the beach as well.

Truly a fun and AMAZING RACE!! The tour operators were absolutely wonderful! Our family of 5 enjoyed our race! We had so much fun competing against each other. All the places we entered were friendly and allowed us to see so much more of St. Thomas than if we hadn’t done the race! Highly recommend this adventure to all!!

This was amazing! Haha. We had a great time and this was set up and executed flawlessly. Truly professional. We saw so much that we would never have seen from a taxi, or exploring on our own. It seriously forces you off the beaten path and into establishments that were local and the people who you interact with are memorable. I will look for this in other cities for sure. Our hosts and facilitators were great and helpful. We highly recommend this and it was fun to do as a family. Kids 10/13. Bring your walking shoes, flip flops would put you at a disadvantage.

What a FUN adventure on St. Thomas! My strong advice to anyone running this race is to take little moments to 1) enjoy the beautiful scenery and landscape around you, and the feel of St. Thomas itself, and 2) TAKE PICTURES! We ran the race with 2 teenagers and a tween, and kids being kids, they were only focused on winning the race to the exclusion of all else. So, yes, run the race, solve the clues, beat the clock, and try to win...but remember to stop and look around, take pictures, and enjoy the experience of being in St. Thomas! Bonnie, David, and Debbie were wonderful. The race was well organized, and the vendors (at each stop) were friendly and accommodating, having participated in the race challenges/clues for a while! It was a fun experience. The organizers kept everyone hydrated along the course (by handing out water mid-way) so definitely drink up (and reapply sunscreen) because it is HOT on the race! And beer/water, sandwiches/snacks at the end of the race never tasted more delicious after a hot run! Also, I can say, I finally got any lingering desire to participate in the actual Amazing Race, out of my system! Sorry, Phil. :-)

This started out great, but then to get to the next clues you had to walk for about a mile uphill. Would be better if there were more tasks to solve . Over all, the potential is there, but needs a little more organization. The staff were great! I have done the Race on Catalina Island and enjoyed it more.

It was a blast! Bonnie and her assistant made it a fun experience. They had such great stories. We didn't win, but the experience was well worth it. Thank you so much.

This was a super fun event and great way to see the island. I would do it again. It was very well run.

It was great doing this and seeing parts of center city you may never really experience. The people you interact with are great. Bonnie and John were amazing. We will do this again when we return next year

Had a fun time walking around St Thomas and finding the clues to get us around the town. Had many laughs throughout the day.

Fun way to experience downtown Charlotte Amalie! Great hosts Bonnie and Debbie. Nice to get water bottles along the way! Not too difficult challenges. (Wished for a couple more)

There were 7 in our group and we had a great time!! It’s a fun way to see St. Thomas. Bonnie, Debbie, and David were excellent hosts. Highly recommend!

We were unsure how this would be as we’re older(53-60) and not in the best physical shape but we had an amazing experience! Bonnie and Debbie and crew made everything fun! We even took first place! I definitely recommend this excursion! There is a lot of walking but you can do it at your leisure if you’d like.

This was my daughter who is 36 and myself I’m 65 first time doing this race. It was absolutely incredible. You had to figure out the clues in order to move forward to the next step. We were put into teams and you had to work together. Believe me you got to know your teammates fast. Not only did you have so much fun you got to see so much of the town fast. You got to interact with the locals because they were part of the race. Our team came in first place with a winning time of 1:21 minutes. I would highly recommend this event.

Rather than taking a cruise ship excursion, we found this diversion a bit "different" when we saw it online. It looked like a challenge that we were willing to dive into. We were not let down! The clues in the Scavenger Hunt were creative and, even though we came in dead last (!) our memory will be right up there with the best of our trip. And our 2 "hostesses" made it all come together. They were wonderful. My wife and I would not hesitate for a moment recommending this activity. Fun and different. But be prepared to walk!

Fun way to explore St. Thomas! Our hosts were kind, informative, and helpful. The race was truly fantastic and lived up to our expectations. Island weather got us a little wet and sweaty but we had a blast! Highly recommend if you are looking for an interesting way to explore the area.

This was the highlight of our trip! The starting Iocation was very easy to get to from our cruise port. Peggy and Debbie were there ahead of time and ready for us. We have a competitive family of five. We chose to split into two teams. This worked great for our family. Many of the mistakes that we would make fun of racers on the Amazing Race TV show happened to us. It was very humbling. And we had so much fun! We won't give anything away here, but suffice it to say that we had many 'duh' moments. 0ne of our teams lost an item and it cost them time, which gave our other team hope; we miscalculated a clue and went to the wrong location; got stuck trying to solve a clue, had to decide if we would help another team or not, etc. And the celebration at the end when we went running to the finish was great! Peggy and Debbie thought of everything. And we got to see way more of local St. Thomas that we would have on our own. We highly recommend this Fantastic Race!

Although it was a very hot day, the ladies were assessable. My nephew and I made up our team and we were surprised how challenging the race was. We came in second but had a great time. There are many stories to tell. Thank you ladies

This was so much fun! We had 8 teams participating, none of which we knew. We cheered each other on as we all came across the finish line. Super fun. Highly recommend!!!

This was really fun until it started pouring down raining. But the overall experience was Fun and my family was divided with the males vs females which made it very competitive

This was so fun! The clues were easy to figure out and the route gave us plenty to see in the area. Bonnie and Debbie were perfect hostesses and I'd recommend this to anyone other than if you are with a child in a stroller.

You will be welcomed and given full instructions before the race. There will be a LOT of WALKING with HILLS. There are 2 cruise ports in St. Thomas, you will meet at the Havensight port. If you are at the other port, you will need to take a taxi which is about $9 per person. You will get to stop at local places, bring cash for some of them. The staff will provide snacks and drinks at the finish and are just a phone call away if you need help, so someone will need to have a working cell phone. Overall we had a fantastic time on the race and would do it again in Cozumel.

The Fantastic Race was challenging and so much fun! I was traveling on the Norwegian Cruise line with 7 relatives on a Cousins’ Cruise (all 8 of us in our 60’s). We divided ourselves into 2 teams of 4 and were joined by 7 teams from the Carnival Cruise Line. We started at a pirate museum which held many clues that ultimately led us to our first destination. There were fun challenges at each stop and staff met us along the way to provide water. It was well-organized and we all loved the experience. Nearly a month later, I still have a beaded braid in my hair…thanks to Miss Patricia’s braiding booth! It’s a fun reminder of the experience! For those up for a physical challenge, I highly recommend the Fantastic Race!
