★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 86 reviews · from $329

This full-day Cruz Bay Watersports trip leaves from The Westin St. John at 8 a.m. for Virgin Gorda’s Baths.

Captain Remo, Captain Reemo, and guide Bobbie have earned special praise, though the rocky Baths route requires wet-grip shoes and steady footing.

“The snorkeling on the way back from the Baths was the best part of the day. The Baths tour was rushed and should be longer. Maybe have lunch on the boat to allow more time for the Baths tour.”

Also, the description wasn't clear that a moderate hike on slippery rocks would be involved so wear appropriate shoes. Lunch was delicious and snorkeling at Treasure Cave was amazing.”
