You can't snorkel and drink rum all the time while visiting Virgin Gorda. Burn off a few calories by hiking to the viewing platform at the top. The views are stupendous of the North Sound and in all directions. Nothing obstructs your view. Only do this hike on a clear sunny day. More

Pergect hike for the early morning especially to see the sun rise. More

I love the climb to Gorda Peak. It's a very easy climb, even for the inexperienced. You can spot tons of hermit crabs on the way up. Go near sundown for a spectacular sunset and make sure to bring your flashlight for the walk back. And bring bug spray! If the day is clear enough, you can see all the... More
