Hikers may decide to take on Gorda Peak near the center of the island, a rugged trail that leads up to 1,359 feet above sea level. A 360-degree view of sapphire blue waters and verdant hills and valleys is the reward to the most intrepid! And a jaunt to the North Sound area and Leverick Bay lends itself to diving, snorkeling and boating pleasures. Saba Rock and the Bitter End Yacht Club are popular pit stops for both sailors and island visitors. The South Sound area has its own charms, particularly vibrant coral reefs, privacy and lots of greenery. But Virgin Gorda's real allure lies in its relaxed and tranquil ambience - you can kick back at your Virgin Gorda villa and just enjoy a simple villa vacation away from the hustle and bustle, surrounded by sun, sand and sea and family or friends; there's no pressure here at all to "see everything" and "do everything".
British Virgin Islanders are friendly, and as in many small communities, life on Virgin Gorda is more tranquil, simpler, and islanders here are helpful and welcoming. It's not hard to find your way around or get local knowledge - on this little island, everybody knows everything - so stop in the village to chat. Greet the smiling Virgin Gorda folks with a "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon" and have an interesting conversation! Virgin Gorda can be reached via scheduled ferries from St. Thomas via Tortola, or by small aircraft flights from San Juan or St. Thomas... and it's well worth the trip! BRING PROOF of YOUR CITIZENSHIP - To enter the British Virgin Islands, all travelers - even children - must have a valid passport. However, if you are a U.S. or Canadian citizen, you may bring an original or official certified birth certificate copy with a photo ID, instead of a passport.
