Do you have clients who are searching for uninhabited islands, pristine beach coves, authentic local cuisine and some of the best sailing routes in the world? These are just a few of the highlights on offer as small-group adventure operator, G Adventures, relaunches its sailing tours in the British Virgin Islands.

 

Sailing the British Virgin Islands

Following the impact of hurricane Irma last fall, the seven- day ‘Sailing the British Virgin Islands’ trip has relaunched and, in a bid to support local tourism, was one of the first tours to return to the islands.

Sailing from, and returning to, the island of Tortola on a 47- foot catamaran, the tour allows travellers to snorkel in caves, swim with turtles, cycle around the volcanic islands and, of course, put up sail to explore the BVIs’ turquoise waters.

Designed for travellers with all different levels of sailing experience, and with plenty of time spent on shore, the tour takes advantage of the low tourist numbers by encouraging participants to get to know the friendly locals, dine at their restaurants, visit their businesses and enjoy a truly authentic island experience.

 

 

Tour Highlights

A highlight of this vacation is a visit to the Caribbean paradise of Guana Island, made up of seven white, soft-sand beaches and acres of tropical forest, mountains, hills and natural pools amongst the granite boulders on Virgin Gorda Island. Plus, on Jost Van Dyke travellers can opt for a hike to enjoy a drink at the well-known ‘Soggy Dollar’ bar.

Other highlights are a stop at a local microbrewery and a visit to one of the best turtle snorkelling spots at Cooper Island. If the wind permits, Anegada Island offers cyclists beautiful routes.

The seven-day ‘Sailing the British Virgin Islands – Tortola to Tortola’ hosts up to eight travellers and starts from $1,519 per person.
