Creator's Key Takeaways

We decided to walk from the ship into Charlotte Amily in this heat. And let's just say we're paying for it now.

We did find a hidden gem, a rum shack that made it all worth it.

It was probably a mile, mile and a half, which is not far a normal walk, but because it was so hot and lot quite a lot of traffic.

Make sure you take water with you cuz there wasn't really anywhere on the route to stop.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Take water with you when walking from the cruise port in St. Thomas.
โœ“Consider taking a taxi instead of walking due to heat and distance.
โœ“Research the distance before deciding to walk into town.

Walking distance from cruise port to town โ€” Research the distance beforehand; it's about a mile and a half and can be challenging in heat.
