- jacobbQ9269EC0 contributionsFun Way to Explore the townIt was really fun exploring the island race-style. We loved solving the clues and thought they were perfect in difficulty.Written June 6, 2023
- melissalJ4783LI0 contributionsFun way to experience CatalinaSuch a fun way to see Catalina! Our kids (young adults) loved it and will always remember this trip. Be sure to wear athletic shoes, a lot of ground to cover. Challenged everyone in our group in different ways with an unexpected outcome of fun. We are still talking about it...Written May 28, 2023
- cahastings760 contributionsSolving clues can be fun!I did this race with my two adult daughters. We had a great time trying to solve the clues to get to the next clue. We thought we were really ahead of the crowd until we got to the end. I think not every team solved every clue. Frustrating that they skipped some of the clues and ended up at the finish line before the rest of us.Written April 24, 2023
- Trip4268580 contributionsTrippy sistersJacob was great! We had an awesome time. Just be prepared to walk/run a ton! Everyone was FUN- do it, you won’t regret it!Written April 21, 2023
- mollieb1670 contributionsDo it!This race was so much fun! It helped that we won too! Our date coming in our Disney Cruise Line wasn’t open so I sent an email. They made it available as long as 10 signed up. We got about 40. There was the right amount of confusion, different challenges and running about. At the end ceremony we had some local bites and a drink! We would do this again in the other cities offered. Well done!Written February 21, 2023
- pennybigdog0 contributionsgood timeit was fun. Did take some thinking on some of the clues. Paired with another couple which made it more fun. Be prepared to walk a lot.Written June 27, 2022
- Aspen_Ashes0 contributionsRace was “Amazing”We loved this race. It was my favorite part of our whole trip. You don’t have to be super fit to compete. We had grandma on our team so it was walking at a very slow pace, but we still came in first before all the teams that were running. It just depends on solving the puzzles. There was a variety of tasks and we got to run around and see a bunch of Catalina. My 7-year old loved it too so it is great for the whole family. Matthew was a fantastic host.Written August 30, 2019

- 7rar0 contributionsAmazing Race was an amazing experience!Wow! What a great time! I didn't know what to expect when my wife suggested this excursion. The lady who took great care of us all was Bonnie. Bonnie was so sweet and knowledgable, and kind! Highly recommend!Written June 20, 2019
- SexyTrucker1230 contributionsSo much fun!Oh my goodness, I had know idea what I was in for when I signed up for this. First of all the woman in charge, I believe her name was Bonnie was Amazing (no pun intended?). She was extremely enthusiastic and uplifting which made for a good start. The race itself was a Blast and I have to say it was the highlight of our cruise and can't wait to go back to St. Thomas and do it again in the future. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone who is looking for a good time and plus you get to see so many sights at the same time So much fun!!Written June 19, 2019

My wife and I raced against 4 other teams. The whole race ended up being about 2.5 miles with a couple intimidating hills involved. We are moderately in shape and were able to handle the race, but I could see older or handicapped racers struggle a bit more. The race itself was an absolute blast and possibly our favorite activity during our entire time on the island. I would 110% recommend this to anyone wanting to do something exciting that allows you to see parts of the city that the typical tourist would not.

The Fantastic Race was challenging and so much fun! I was traveling on the Norwegian Cruise line with 7 relatives on a Cousins’ Cruise (all 8 of us in our 60’s). We divided ourselves into 2 teams of 4 and were joined by 7 teams from the Carnival Cruise Line. We started at a pirate museum which held many clues that ultimately led us to our first destination. There were fun challenges at each stop and staff met us along the way to provide water. It was well-organized and we all loved the experience. Nearly a month later, I still have a beaded braid in my hair…thanks to Miss Patricia’s braiding booth! It’s a fun reminder of the experience! For those up for a physical challenge, I highly recommend the Fantastic Race!

The Fantastic Race was absolutely super fun! Our family split into two separate teams while competing against another family. We did things like solve puzzles, riddles, codes, and traveled around the town of St.Thomas. We even had to take a taxi at one point! This race was competitive, fun, sight seeing, and even made you feel like you were playing the actual “Amazing Race”. Bonnie and Jane were very kind instructors and did a fabulous job. I highly recommend doing this with your family!

You will be welcomed and given full instructions before the race. There will be a LOT of WALKING with HILLS. There are 2 cruise ports in St. Thomas, you will meet at the Havensight port. If you are at the other port, you will need to take a taxi which is about $9 per person. You will get to stop at local places, bring cash for some of them. The staff will provide snacks and drinks at the finish and are just a phone call away if you need help, so someone will need to have a working cell phone. Overall we had a fantastic time on the race and would do it again in Cozumel.

Fantastic Race St Thomas was in a word "Fantastic". Bonnie and crew were friendly and made it fun. If you have been to St Thomas before then consider this fun excursion. We were a team of 4 (2 couples) and older and we came in 2nd place above many younger teams! If you like the Amazing Race then you will like being a part of this fun few hours. I highly recommend Fantastic Race St Thomas. Where else does this race take place? While the winners get a medal, consider 2nd and 3rd place medals also or certificates as a fun souvenir. Light lunch and beers at the end topped of a great time.

Bonnie and Jane were fabulous hosts for the Fantastic St Thomas Race! The experience was very organized, and their responses to my emails while setting up the excursion were prompt and detailed. As it says in the description, wear athletic clothes and shoes and apply a little sunscreen. Bringing a bottle of water with you, wouldn’t hurt either. The culmination of the race with prizes and snacks/drinks was the perfect end to a fun afternoon!

Such fun with a challenge to both mind and body. The clues aren’t overly difficult, but you do have to be observant and you have to keep moving. No nasty food tests or hard labor, but you do have to be able to walk several miles. My sister and I had a great time finishing in record time. At the end we had time to socialize with the other teams while enjoying some Subway sandwiches, chips, and water or a local beer.

Although it was a very hot day, the ladies were assessable. My nephew and I made up our team and we were surprised how challenging the race was. We came in second but had a great time. There are many stories to tell. Thank you ladies

This was the highlight of our trip!
The starting Iocation was very easy to get to from our cruise port. Peggy and Debbie were there ahead of time and ready for us. We have a competitive family of five. We chose to split into two teams. This worked great for our family.
Many of the mistakes that we would make fun of racers on the Amazing Race TV show happened to us. It was very humbling. And we had so much fun!
We won't give anything away here, but suffice it to say that we had many 'duh' moments.
0ne of our teams lost an item and it cost them time, which gave our other team hope; we miscalculated a clue and went to the wrong location; got stuck trying to solve a clue, had to decide if we would help another team or not, etc.
And the celebration at the end when we went running to the finish was great! Peggy and Debbie thought of everything. And we got to see way more of local St. Thomas that we would have on our own. We highly recommend this Fantastic Race!

We had a lot of fun doing the Fantastic Race and would recommend it. We checked in a little early and were told there was only one other group and they were running a little behind. After waiting for a bit, we found out the other group canceled, so it was just my husband and I. Bonnie and Jane apologized for the inconvenience and asked if we still wanted to do it or not. We chose to do it, they suggested we could compete against each other, but we decided tonto do together. It was a great way to see more of the area. The challenges were fun and nothing to hard to complete, and of course, we were the winners.
