It’s not all about the sea – the BVI’s inland national parks offer hiking opportunities in Caribbean forests
The Happy Sailor
With calm waters, steady trade winds and easy, line-of-sight navigation, it’s not surprising that the British Virgin Islands are such a popular sailing destination. With over 25 islands to plot your course between, the BVI also offers numerous protected bays and harbours. Experienced sailors can go for a bareboat charter, while crewed options include your own skipper and chef. One of the traditional highlights of sailing in the BVI is dropping anchor at Jost Van Dyke and swimming ashore to enjoy the famous Painkiller cocktail (rum, pineapple and coconut cream) at the Soggy Dollar beach bar.
