The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Charter a private crewed catamaran from Peter Island and sail to Virgin Gorda's legendary Baths — cathedral-like granite boulders forming sea pools and grottos. Snorkel turquoise water, swim through hidden passages, and sip rum punch at anchor. Pure BVI magic.
Explore Peter Island's own secluded bays — Deadman's Bay, White Bay, Little Deadman's — by private skiff with a local reef guide. Snorkel pristine coral gardens, discover sea turtles, and arrive at a butler-set beach picnic with chilled Champagne. The island itself is your playground.
Board a beautifully restored wooden island sloop for a curated sunset sail through the legendary Sir Francis Drake Channel, framed by Tortola, Norman Island, and the Dogs. Watch the BVI light show unfold with a rum cocktail in hand — the most cinematic moment in the Caribbean.
Sail to Norman Island — the real-life inspiration for Treasure Island — and snorkel its legendary underwater caves glittering with glass shrimp and lobster. Follow with a rum-soaked lunch at the iconic Pirate's Bight beach bar. History, adventure, and flavor in one unforgettable day.
Trek to the highest point in the BVI — Sage Mountain at 1,716 ft — through ancient rainforest draped in tree ferns, giant elephant ears, and mahogany. A certified local guide reveals endemic flora, bird life, and jaw-dropping 360° views across the entire Virgin Islands archipelago.
Explore the hauntingly beautiful ruins of a 19th-century copper mine perched on Virgin Gorda's wild Atlantic cliffs, then snorkel the protected reefs of the island's quiet East End. Culture, drama, and marine life in a single private half-day with a BVI heritage guide.
