Bicycling in St. Thomas

Water Island Adventures. In this company's fun biking trip, you first take a ferry ride from Crown Bay to Water Island and then jump on a Cannondale for 90 minutes of biking over rolling hills on dirt and paved roads. (On cruise-ship days, a direct ferry goes from the West India Company Docks, but this is only for cruise passengers who have booked the bike tour.) Explore the remains of the Sea Cliff Hotel, reputedly the inspiration for Herman Wouk's book Don't Stop the Carnival, and then take a cooling swim at beautiful Honeymoon Beach. Helmets, water, guides, and ferry fare are included in the $65 cost. Bike rentals are available on days when no tours are scheduled: call for details. Water Island, St. Thomas, 00802. 340/626-9815 or 340/690-4019. www.waterislandadventures.com.
