The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Scramble through Virgin Gorda's iconic cathedral of granite boulders, wade sun-lit tidal grottos, and emerge onto the powder-white sands of Devil's Bay — one of the Caribbean's most surreal natural wonders.
Board a crewed private yacht and spend a full day island-hopping the British Virgin Islands — snorkelling sea caves, swimming impossibly turquoise bays, and arriving at The Baths by sea for a perspective almost no visitor ever sees.
Hike through a rare dry tropical forest to the 1,370-ft summit of Virgin Gorda's Gorda Peak — the highest point in the BVI — rewarded with a 360° panorama stretching from Anegada to St. Thomas.
Explore the dramatic clifftop ruins of Virgin Gorda's 19th-century copper mine — operated by Cornish miners for the Spanish Crown — perched above crashing Atlantic surf at the island's wild southern tip.
Escape to the untouched shores of Prickly Pear Island — Virgin Gorda's quiet neighbour — for world-class snorkelling on a pristine coral reef, followed by a leisurely lunch at the island's legendary open-air beach bar.
Glide along Virgin Gorda's golden leeward coast aboard a private crewed catamaran at golden hour — swimming the glassy shallows of Savannah Bay and toasting the sunset over the BVI's outer cays with rum cocktails in hand.
