Creator's Key Takeaways

I've done this walk many times and it'll take about about 40.

So, as you can see by this sign, as I was talking about with lizards, iguanas, reptiles in general, you definitely do see them around here.

So now for the tour for the video, you can take one of those taxis about probably 5 to 10 or so minutes depending on traffic to kind of the downtown area, Charlotte Omaly.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Take a taxi from the port to downtown Charlotte Amalie, which is about 5-10 minutes depending on traffic.
✓Look out for lizards, iguanas, and reptiles around the port areas in the Caribbean.
✓If you need a break from the heat, visit Drake's Passage for air conditioning.
✓Explore the market outside the port for handmade items and local artists.
