Overview
Activity details
Explore the British Virgin Islands at your own pace on a private charter designed just for you. Whether you're looking for world-class snorkeling, legendary beach bars, or stunning natural landmarks, we’ll help plan the perfect itinerary based on what you want to see and do.
Snorkeling at The Caves and The Indians at Norman Island is always a favorite, with crystal-clear waters and tons of marine life. Stop by the infamous Willy T for a drink or grab a bite at Pirate’s Bight on the beach.
A visit to The Baths on Virgin Gorda is a must for anyone wanting to explore the massive granite boulders, hidden sea pools, and caves that make this spot so unique. Over at Jost Van Dyke, you can hike to the Bubbly Pool, relax on Sandy Spit and Sandy Cay, or sip a famous Painkiller at Soggy Dollar Bar.
Want to see it all? If you’re hoping to visit The Baths, Norman Island, and Jost Van Dyke in one day, we recommend booking the extended day option to make the most of your time on the water.
