tortola
Jan Buker
The choice to either stay on Tortola and go to
a beach or take the ferry to Virgin Gorda to The Baths was an easy
decision; we took the nice ride across to Virgin Gorda! The geologic
wonder known as The Baths is truly a must-see! If you’re not in the best
shape, once you reach the end of the initial descent, you might want to
stay at that beach and not take the path that continues on to the left and
toward the lagoon. You will still be swimming among the rocks for less
expenditure of energy. If you decide to head toward the lagoon, it is a
challenge to scale rocks, climb ladders and steps, and crawl through
little tunnels and low-hanging areas…. but once you get to the lagoon you
know it’s worth the trip! The huge boulders that have tumbled into the sea
are an incredible sight to behold! The snorkeling is even better, just
because of the backdrop of these ancient rocks! This was a wonderful
setting for our last port of call.
