OVERVIEW

Cruise the ferry over to the neighboring island of Virgin Gorda to relax on the beaches at The Baths, a unique seascape dominated by enormous boulders that form hidden grottoes and tidal pools. After disembarking on the island, you will enjoy a short but scenic ride to the Top of the Baths restaurant, where the guide will explain what to expect along the coast below. You will descend by following a sandy trail to horseshoe-shaped Devil’s Bay, whose translucent waters are ideal for a refreshing swim. Gargantuan boulders spill out from the beach into the sea, making for an unforgettable experience. In time, the guide will lead you through the massive seaside boulders to The Baths, a similar but more popular beach. You may find the setting even more spectacular as many of its granite boulders measure more than 40 feet across. There too you will be free to do as you please.

Need to Know:

Note: Participants must be fit and at least 8 years of age and weigh no more than 250 lbs. Expect crowds, waiting in line to go through the Cave to The Bath, rough seas at certain times of the year and high temperatures. Participants will explore trails leading to beaches and through giant rocks, requiring caution. When the red flag is flying at The Baths, swimming is strictly prohibited due to dangerous sea conditions, including rip currents and high seas. In such cases the tour will operate but swimming will not be permitted. A flag warning system is in place to monitor sea conditions, and if the red flag is displayed, swimming will not be permitted. The trail to and from the beaches is over 300 yards long, inclined, and consists of a natural surface with rocks, loose stones, and areas requiring stepping over rocks. The trail through the Caves involves bending, climbing wooden ladders, wading through sea pools, and stepping on wet, slippery rocks. Sturdy footwear is recommended for safety. This activity is not suitable for individuals with walking difficulties, and wheelchairs or child buggies are not permitted. Additionally, swimming beyond the safety line in front of both beaches is strictly prohibited. Participants assume all risks associated with this activity.
