BVI Island Hop Snorkel Trip
Contrary to the title of this trip you might choose to start with a snorkel stop in U.S. waters! You have to learn to appreciate what you have before we take you to the extraordinary. Depending on the current and waves you might explore Henley, Waterlemon, or Whistling Cay on your way to clearing British customs on Tortola. From here you could spend the rest of the morning around Norman Island. Famed originally for its role in Robert Lewis Stevenson’s book, Treasure Island, but more recently for its world-class snorkeling and dynamic floating sailboat bar it is a must stop for this trip.
The Caves are an excellent snorkel site offering an incredible display of fish variety and of course three different shaped “caves” to explore. After this “fish” display at the Caves you could cruise five minutes over to the “Indian’s” where we see tons of schooling fish but more amazingly we see both hard and soft coral. This duo of snorkel sites tops out everyone’s underwater sights for the week without a doubt. The afternoon could then be spent over on Jost van Dyke for a late lunch at Foxy’s or a simple lunch of hot dogs and burgers in Smugler’s Cove on Tortola where yet another decent snorkel can take place if you still have it in you. If not, the beach here or at White Bay is tops in the islands for relaxation and beauty so no worries!
