Virgin Gorda Tours and Tickets

While the island of Virgin Gorda is free to visit, attractions on the island have varying admission fees. For example, the Baths—one of the top attractions on the British Virgin Island paradise—costs around US$3 per person to enter; make sure you have cash, as credit cards aren’t always accepted.

Lapped by the Caribbean Sea, Virgin Gorda is famous for its white-sand beaches. The best stretches of sand include Savannah Bay, where you can spot turtles foraging in the waters, and Devil’s Bay, a horseshoe-shaped bay, where the calm waters are perfect for snorkeling among tropical marine life.

The most famous attraction on Virgin Gorda is the Baths—a collection of enormous granite boulders that harbor natural pools where you can swim. You can also climb the boulders using ropes and rails. Another highlight is Copper Mine National Park, famous for its rock formations.

The best outdoor activities on Virgin Gorda all revolve around the water, whether you’re scuba diving among reef sharks and shipwrecks, or snorkeling in calm waters off beaches such as Spring Bay. The island’s small size means you can also hike around it in relatively little time; the highest point is Gorda Peak, which offers panoramic views.

The cuisine on Virgin Gorda has a strong Caribbean influence, so expect plenty of flavor and spice. Must-try dishes include fungi and fish—the signature meal of the British Virgin Islands—comprising fried okra and fish sautéed with vegetables. Another local favorite is curried goat served with rice.

There aren’t many budget-friendly options on Virgin Gorda, due to its Caribbean location and small size. However, you can find mid-range bed and breakfasts and oceanfront self-catering villas and apartments, along with all-inclusive hotel resorts ranging from three to five stars. Due to limited options, booking in advance is recommended.
