Take your time and enjoy the little things, like the local flora and fauna. I rushed through at first and felt like I missed half the charm of the place.

Wear comfy shoes. The paths can get a bit uneven and you might end up walking more than you think. I regretted my flip flops.

I think you should wear comfy shoes. The trail can be a bit rocky if you want to explore more around the area, and it makes for a more enjoyable experience.

My advice is to bring some snacks and water. There are no vendors up there, and it’s nice to chill with a snack while enjoying the scenery

I suggest checking out the view from the actual seat itself; it's a little hidden. I almost missed it, but I'm glad I found it since it's the most iconic spot!

I suggest buying a round-trip ticket instead of one way. It’s a better deal if you plan to come back down later after exploring the area.

If you can, try to go early in the morning around 9 AM. The lines are way shorter then and you’ll get to enjoy the views without the crowd.

Take some time to walk around up there. The observation deck has some fantastic photo ops you won’t want to miss, plus it's a nice break from the heat.

Grab a drink at the top! The bar has great cocktails, and nothing beats sipping one while soaking in the panoramic views of Charlotte Amalie

I recommend checking out the happy hour specials at the bar between 5-7 PM; the drinks are way cheaper and the vibe is great!
