Begin your epic tour by hopping on the ferry and be transported from your cruise ship pier to the British Virgin Islands' third-largest island: Virgin Gorda. Here, you'll get to take a journey along a winding trail that takes you to see The Baths, which lies just south of the sandy white beaches of Spring Bay. Some of the most massive granite boulders in this collection of oversized rock formations boast a 40-inch diameter. Traveling through The Baths' system of hollow structures, sandy beaches, and enormous granite boulders, is like moving through a maze thanks to the position of its rock formations.
As you follow the trail of The Baths, you'll also come across its cavernous structures. Molten lava helped forge these hollow rock formations over time to create the geological wonders that they are today. You'll travel along a rope-handrail trail that takes you up a series of ladders to help you climb the oversized boulders, where you'll get access to the white sandy beaches along Devil's Bay, a favorite for beachgoers and snorkelers alike to swim and go underwater to discover vivid coral and marine life. Take a break to enjoy soaking up the sun before heading back to your pier.
From heading up ladders of oversized granite boulders to witness the breathtaking views of secret coves, this visit to Virgin Gorda offers much for the outdoor enthusiast to explore.
