“Loved the laid back atmosphere of this group. The kayaking was fun - we had a beautiful, sunny day and the water was perfect. The snorkeling was fun and easy, too. The best part was the nature hike.

Review of Cruz Bay Watersports’ full-day Baths of Virgin Gorda trip from St. John, with breakfast, lunch, snorkeling, caves, and open bar.
“The views were beautiful. The tour itself was not good. Very disorganized. No time to enjoy the water at the baths. Had to wait to tie up before snorkeling, so we just sat on the boat waiting, and you can’t have any drinks, until after the snorkeling starts. Music on the boat was too loud couldn’t hear what the staff were telling us. All in all would not recommend this specific company for the tour.”
