Our full-day adventure to The Baths of Virgin Gorda from the Ritz-Carlton St. Thomas was absolutely unforgettable. Captain Ryan and Danny were fantastic from start to finish. The trip was beautiful, fun, and incredibly well organized.
Ryan kept the perfect vibe going all day with an awesome playlist, and he was so kind and attentive when I started feeling seasick — it made all the difference and let me enjoy the rest of the experience. Danny was equally great: friendly, helpful, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time.
The Baths themselves were stunning; Ryan and Danny made this excursion truly special. Highly recommend this adventure — you won’t be disappointed!

Need to know there is a 1.5 mile hike so you need to be able to hike through rocks, water, and caves
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the 5 stars, Susan! We appreciate you sharing the helpful info for future adventurers. We definitely recommend water shoes for navigating the short hike. So glad you had a great time exploring with us!
Charged for parking, twohour boat ride without promised breakfast no coffee, insignificant instruction on what to bring and trip details
2 hour boat ride to the baths, nice place to cool down in the water after a short hike. Then back on the boat for short drive over to a snorkel spot. Drinks and then a ride to St John where ya stop at customs. Then drinks all the way home. The captain & crew were great, so nice.

Thank you for choosing to Discover the Baths of Virgin Gorda with Cruz Bay Watersports, Chad! I am happy to hear that our crew was able to show you the best of the BVIs out on the water. We're already looking forward to your next visit to St. Thomas!
For the price it was crowded, very rushed, and nothing like it was described. Overall a big disappointment. If I were to do it over I would take the ferry and a taxi and enjoy a slow pace day on my schedule. We were so rushed were not able to enjoy any part of it. Then on the way back they tried to serve us drinks in hopes of a big tip. Pictures show snorkeling in the bath caves, ya that’s not part of it.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. Sometimes our snorkel destination may change depending on weather, sea conditions, and timing, with the captain selecting the best location for the day. The trip also follows a planned schedule so guests have time to enjoy each stop while ensuring we return on time.
The experience itself was great. Kelly, Ryan and Riley were fantastic. The baths were so incredible. We were unfortunately there on a cruise ship day so the crowds were awful. Kelly told us a lot about the history of Virgin Gorda and was a great tour guide. I would book with them again.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had an amazing day at The Baths, even with the extra crowds. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Kelly, Ryan, and Riley. Thanks for boating with us, and we hope to see you back in the Virgin Islands again soon!
The Baths of Virgin Gorda excursion was one of the most memorable we have experienced. It seems expensive at first but the value you get for it is remarkable. It’s a whole day excursion, they provided everything needed for snorkeling, even towels, the customs was simple and nothing to worry about, and the food, sightseeing and memories we made will stay with us and our kids forever.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the awesome review, Kajal! We love hearing that The Baths was one of the highlights of your trip. We're so glad your family made memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for spending the day with us, and we hope to see you back in the Virgin Islands again soon!
Amazing experience. Kelly and Captain Ryan were awesome. Little crowded because a cruise was docked but still enjoyable

Riley, Skylar & captain R were amazing! We had such a fun day from start to finish! The whole crew was amazing and of course the views were phenomenal! We are so glad we did this excursion during our honeymoon!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Wow! Thank you for the 5 stars, Alexis! We're so glad you chose to celebrate your honeymoon with us. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Riley, Skylar, and Captain R. Wishing you both a lifetime of adventures, and we hope to see you back in the Virgin Islands someday!
Absolutely nothing like what was advertised. Our boat was late. And still came back early. We got MAYBE 20 mins at the Baths. All of which behind 100 ppl in diff tour groups. You will have to take the taxi to Top of the Baths. And the "treasure caves" was a crap little reef with few fish. Complete waste of alot of money. Not sure what i actually paid them for.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience, John. I am sorry to hear that our Discover the Baths tour did not meet expectations. Our sincere apologies again for the delayed start time and busy nature of our famous Baths of Virgin Gorda. We were happy to extend a refund for the delay, but completely understand that this impacted your tour. I have shared your experience with our operations team in hopes to improve, as we would love to welcome you back aboard on your next visit to show you a five star experience!
From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The staff was amazing. Very caring. Took care of everyone.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
That’s exactly what we love to hear. From start to finish is the goal, and we’re so glad the crew made you feel taken care of the whole way through!
We had an amazing time. This trip is worth the money. Our guides were great. All around highly recommend.

Thank you for the great review, Ian. We’re so glad you had an amazing time and appreciate the recommendation. Hope to sail with you again soon!
I booked the Discover the Baths of Virgin Gorda tour with Cruz Bay Watersports via Viator. It was the only excursion I had planned during my trip. It was supposed to start at 8am, with a 7:30am check-in time. We were informed 15 minutes past check-in that the boat had a mechanical issue and would arrive around 8:20am. It was then pushed to 8:45am. It was delayed again until 9:30-9:45am. Around 9:05am, we were informed that the maintenance issue would not be fixed and they were canceling the trip.
A couple that was waiting with me said that they were originally supposed to go out on Wednesday, but were asked to move their tour to Tuesday, because the boat would be undergoing maintenance. The taxi ride to/from The Ritz was approximately $50. If they knew they had a raggedy boat, they should've never booked people for that excursion.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We sincerely apologize for the disruption to your plans. We understand how disappointing it must have been, especially for a carefully planned excursion. While mechanical issues can occasionally occur, we recognize that timely communication and proactive solutions are crucial, and we regret that this was not your experience.
Your feedback about scheduling and guest notifications is important. We truly appreciate you sharing this and encourage you to reach out directly. We would love the opportunity to make this right.
The baths was gorgeous and the caves had a magnificent variety of fish. Guides were informative and friendly.
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Great trip to the baths in virgin gorda. Red flag day but still a great day and a beautiful place. Tour guides were the best.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you enjoyed the Baths and our fantastic guides. We hope to see you back soon!
This was a fantastic trip! The crew (Kelly and Captain Ryan) were friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure we were safe AND had loads of fun. The Baths are amazing, but the highlight for us was the snorkeling off Peter Island. The water was crystal clear and we saw several huge sea turtles!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review. We’re so glad you had such a great trip and will be sure to pass the kind words along to Kelly and Captain Ryan. The Baths are always impressive, but crystal-clear water and sea turtles off Peter Island definitely make for an unforgettable highlight. We hope to have you back out on the water again soon.
It was a very easy day, and very informative. The crew was accommodating.. The baths are must see ..
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for choosing to Discover the Baths of Virgin Gorda with Cruz Bay Watersports, Toraya! We're thrilled to hear it was a great day on land and out on the water for your tour. We hope to welcome you back aboard soon!
Very enjoyable day. Baths were very cool and snorkling was good. Crew was knowledgeable and fun. Saw lots of reviews saying that experience was not what they expected ... just read what they send you and follow the recommendations (footwear for hike from Top of Baths down to the water and rocks) and you will be fine.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the Baths, snorkeling, and our knowledgeable, fun crew. We also appreciate you pointing out the importance of reviewing the pre-trip information and recommendations. We hope to see you again soon!
On the way to The Baths, we were served delicious mini-brunch & juice. We were given menus on the boat so that the restaurant on Virgin Gorda would have our orders ready for us after we visited The Baths. The Baths were beautiful fun to explore. After lunch, we got back on the boat & were offered snorkeling gear because we were going to stop near Tortolla to swim with the fish. It was amazing how the fish were not afraid to swim up to us in droves. After that, we got back on the boat and the crew offered us refreshments. They were funny & helpful, checking to see if we wanted our cups refilled often during the trip to Virgin Gorda.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the full day to The Baths and Virgin Gorda. We’re glad you loved the mini-brunch, lunch service, snorkeling with the fish, and the attentive, fun crew throughout the trip!
Fun day-powerboat ride to Virgin Gorda, continental breakfast rather sparse, lunch was OK, good snorkeling. Had to battle many groups at the Baths
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the powerboat ride, snorkeling, and overall day at Virgin Gorda. We appreciate your notes about the breakfast, lunch, and crowds at the Baths and will share them with our team.
Experience was just as advertised. Great day to Virgin Gorda and the baths and snorkeling. Food at the restaurant was good and the staff was great. Ryan and Kelly did a great job of taking care of everyone. Kelly was a wealth of knowledge of the area and the history. Would love to go on another tour with them.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed your day to Virgin Gorda and the Baths, the snorkeling, and the restaurant. Ryan and Kelly will be thrilled by your kind words, and we’d love to have you on another tour!
It was amazing seeing all the boulder formations, caves and grottos. It's not quite as easy as it seems however.
The snorkeling at Normans island afterwards was great fun where we saw stingray, jelly fish, turtles and tropical fish. Our guides were outstanding and helped this old lady do much help and support!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the boulder formations, caves, and grottos, as well as snorkeling at Norman’s Island. We’re glad our guides provided support and made the experience fun and memorable!
Company cancels frequently per our experience and others in the business. We were never told about presenting passport information 48 hours in advance and were also not able to do this.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with cancellations and the passport information requirement. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will work to improve communication so guests are fully informed ahead of time. If you would be willing to reach out directly, we would love to make it right.

Thank you for choosing to Discover the Baths of Virgin Gorda with Cruz Bay Watersports, Jennifer! I'm sorry to hear that the waves got the best of you out on the water and hope that our team was able to still make it a great day!
It was a great trip! Definitely should wear water shoes and clothing that can get wet. Don’t bring anyone that has a hard time getting around. Continental breakfast wasn’t much but lunch was great!

The boat was not what we were expecting. It definitely was not a catamaran boat. But the crew and the tour made the trip
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks for the feedback! While the vessel may have been different than expected, we're so glad to hear the crew and the tour still made it a great experience. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!
Great trip! Loved the hike thru Baths. It was treacherous for a few people but worth it. It was beautiful! The snorkeling was good too
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for joining us and for the kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hike through The Baths! It’s definitely a bit of an adventure, but the views make it so worth it. Happy to hear you also enjoyed the snorkeling! We hope to welcome you back for more exploring and relaxing soon!
This was an awesome trip. The captain and crew made it so fun going and coming, the hike and the bath were unbelievable! For lunch view was beautiful! I highly recommend going
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for the wonderful review, Kelly! We’re so glad you had an awesome time—from the fun on board with the captain and crew to the unforgettable hike through the Baths. And yes, that lunch view is tough to beat! We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to have you join us again for another island adventure!
This is a great all day tour, but the advertisement is incorrect. The was zero time spent in Spanish town and when I asked a crew member, I felt dismissed. Pls update your advertisement as I’m sure people would still love and enjoy the itinerary without Spanish town and thinking something was excluded.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and for sharing both your positive experience and concerns. We’re glad you enjoyed the overall tour, but we sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding Spanish Town. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to expect that stop, and we’ll be updating our advertisement to provide clearer information moving forward.
We also appreciate your feedback on the communication with the crew—this is something we will address to ensure that all guests feel heard and valued. Your suggestions are truly helpful, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another great experience.
