In 2 weeks I'll be staying at Westin STJ and want to do a day-trip to BVI. I'm wondering if anyone has feedback on the best tour?
As I've never been to BVI, I don't know the best highlights to see. The Limnos goes to Baths & Norman Island while New HOrizons II goes to BAths, Jost Van Dyke, Guana Island, Soggy Dollar & Marina Cay.
I believe Limnos is close to Westin, but not sure where or how to pick up NH II.
Hoping people have done this before from STJ and might offer advice from their trips?
We took the Limnos Charter in November, which you pick up at the National Park Service dock area in Cruz Bay (they all seem to leave from there) and we loved it. Why? Lots of room on the boat (the others left looking like sardine cans), great service, great visits to both places. Lunch and ample booze on the boat along with breakfast snacks foods too. Virgin Gorda was great because they take you to Spanishtown, then you take a very short shuttle to the Baths so you get to see some of the island at no additional expense. Ample time at the Baths but don't bother with the so-called snorkling, its a white sand beach with no coral and is very, very crowded. Norman Island was great because we love to snorkle and the focus is on snorkling there, in and around 3 different caves on the edge of the island. So if you want to snorkle in a location that you might miss otherwise, see the Baths area by foot and enjoy their sweet beaches, you'll love the Limnos Charter. If you're only looking to eat and drink and party, one of the other charters would work better for you.
