The Annaberg Sugar Plantation is a partially restored but the most intact sugar plantation in the Virgin Islands. It keeps the memory of the grueling times in 1717 when slaves were forced to work on the plantation which resulted in a revolt in 1733 that led to the abolishment of slavery.

It was discovered and built by Laurence Rockefeller in 1956 while sailing on a family cruise.

Excellent overview tour of St. John - Informative guided tour of St. John. Kenneth met us at the ferry dock and made sure we got a full tour of the island and vistas of other islands near by. We highly recommend Viator tours…reliable, friendly people.

ST. JOHN TOUR - The ST.JOHN tour was amazing. Our tour guide Kenneth was great he was very informative and taught us a lot about the Island and it’s history. He stops at various places so that you can see the beautiful views and take pictures. After touring the island Kenneth drops you off at Trunk Bay beach to spend time at the beach for three hours. He’ll come to pick you up and bring you back to the ST.JOHN’s ferry port. I would definitely recommend this tour.
