British Virgin Islands

This volcanic archipelago includes four main islands where visitors enjoy diving and snorkeling among coral reefs, sailing, and exploring rainforests, mountains, secluded beaches, and a variety of natural wonders such as the Baths on Virgin Gorda, fascinating beachfront rock formations. Tortola, the largest of the islands, features hiking trails in Sage Mountain National Park, Road Town for shopping and dining, and rum tasting at a historic distillery. Jost Van Dyke, named for a Dutch pirate, offers secluded beaches, sailing, snorkeling, and exploring the natural bubbly pools and caves formed by the ocean’s waves.
