Snorkelling in the British Virgin Islands
Some of the best snorkelling anywhere is in the British Virgin Islands. The water is so incredibly clear you barely even need to get off the boat to see dozens of varieties of amazing tropical fish and coral reefs covering every colour of the rainbow. Bring or rent a mask and some flippers and walk in off the beach or jump in off the boat. The beautiful world below the surface will amaze you. Here are a few more suggestions.
The Indians
These unusual rocks close to Norman Island are covered in coral, attracting colourful parrotfish.
Money Bay
This extremely secluded bay off Norman Island is the place to find Stingrays and some of clearest water in the BVI.
Green Cay
Off Little Jost Van Dyke has some incredible reef formations bringing in huge schools of angelfish. You can easily reach Green Cay from Cane Garden Bay – hire a small boat, or go on one of the snorkel trips on offer.
The Baths
Virgin Gorda – One of the most popular snorkeling sites in the BVI, is surrounded by dramatic granite boulders and a plethora of sea life
The Dogs
Another amazing spot to snorkel.
Loblolly Bay
A truly beautiful underwater world. From giant conch shells to sea turtles, this treasure off Anegada is a true find.
