Tortola excursion advice

[searoses]

Ccbb......we did not use them for virgin gorda but 2 or 3 years in a row for a snorkel day where we made several stops....they were delightful and wanted to please...we did the baths on our own as we were staying on the island....I rarely do a ship's tour while on a cruise but with your large group it seems the safest and fastest way.....

The Baths = our most amazing tour in the Caribbean EVER after 20 years cruising. Yes...it is physically demanding. Yes... it can be a bit crowded, especially from idiots who take the wrong path down (via Devil's Bay Beach instead of Baths Beach) but see it while you can - before it becomes spoiled as it is just an incredible experience.

 

PS: Take bonine BEFORE boarding the ferry for your ride over to Virgin Gorda in the morning.

Best beach on Tortola if you just decide to stay on the island ?

And why, may I ask are the ones who go the Devils Bay path considered "idiots"? Just because 90% of the people take the short path does not make the people willing to take the long path idiots...

Anyway of getting to the baths / viewing that doesn't involve too much activity ?

Brewer's Bay!

 

Just grab a taxi at the port and you're off!

Another vote for Jost. Best day ever on a cruise.

[Wdchuck]

NCL excursion is full. any other options to get to Jost?

[frenchcanrican]

Take a private boat ride. Google day trips to Jost from Tortola. There are plenty of vendors.

For your First Time to Tortola ... Don't miss going to The Baths of Virgin Gorda!

 

It was/is fantastic

 

Cheers

While the Baths are a great option, I always leave a little time to walk around town. I always make it a point to stop at Sunny Caribee's to pick up some spicy sauces. They are great!
