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.
