As an active tour ourselves, we make it our goal to share other fun, outdoor activities in the Virgin Islands. Tree Limin' Extreme Zipline Park introduces Active Island:
When you think of vacations, what are your thoughts; mounds of delicious food, unlimited
fruity cocktails, and long naps on the beach? You’re probably not thinking
about exercise, and if you are, the hotel/resort gyms aren’t where you want to
spend your vacation. Well Active Island noticed the lack of an active outlet
while traveling and they decided to do something about it!
The
newly married owners are New England natives and are passionate about exercise
and travel. It only made sense that they would relocate to the popular tourist
destination of St. Thomas and make their vision a reality. Their goal was to
blend vacation and exercise for those who are passionate about health and
wellness.
Interview with the Owners!
Jogging
on the beach and around town during vacations is an appealing idea, but when
you’re unfamiliar with an area, it may be a little daunting. You may also find
yourself wondering what you’re seeing as you unknowingly pass historic
monuments and landmarks. All of this was the idea behind their popular guided
running tour and power walking tour.
Active
Island is popular amongst both locals and tourists! The activities they offer
add much needed health and wellness benefits that the USVI has been lacking.
There’s
an array of actives and events that Active Island offers. The first and one of
the most popular activities they offer is the guided running and walking tours.
These 5k tours combine sightseeing and running at a casual pace or power
walking, with informative guides who take pictures along the way. You'll take in the
stunning views of the harbor while soaking in the rich history of the island's bustling Charlotte Amalie. Stand on the steps of Fort
Christian, a Danish-built fort that is the oldest standing structure in the
USVI, run up the historic 99 Steps, and pass by several other historic sites
and pirate hangouts.
Another
incredibly popular (and clever) activity they offer is Stretch & Sip Yoga.
They offer both wine tasting yoga in the evening and mimosas in the morning,
both classes are an hour long and welcome guests of all skill levels!
