Acclaims

Garden Bay, where I learned to play cricket in the boatyard and chased all six cows on the island, looked for magic mushrooms and wrote a song called Cheeseburger in Paradise.”
- Jimmy Buffet as told to Sports Illustrated

“This dramatic destination is perfect for travellers who want great topside sights, fewer crowds and a variety of snorkelling experiences.”
- Caribbean Travel & Life

“The British Virgin Islands are a natural archipelago comprising of 60 islands, from tiny islets that barely pierce the water’s surface to volcanic mountains.”
- The Boston Globe

“Snorkel, swim, eat, sleep; funny, the British Virgin Islands never get boring.”
- New York Magazine

“The hues of the British Virgin Islands’ waters are not too flamboyant or garish. Like the British expats themselves, they are refined and understated. Over the reefs, the water glows a leaf green, and rimming the islands it shimmers a seemly teal.”
- Islands

“Tortola and Anegada have the greatest selection of beaches, but don’t overlook the out islands, especially Guana, Peter and Virgin Gorda, each of which have superb beaches.”
- Condé Nast Traveller

“Quiet anchorages, hidden beaches, and undeveloped shorelines like those of Virgin Gorda’s Savannah Bay, make the BVI an ideal sailing ground.”
- Islands

“North Sound of Virgin Gorda, one of the most unspoiled and secluded deep-water harbours in the Caribbean.”
- The New York Times

“A laid-back attitude and low-profile tourist industry attract a discerning sort of traveller to Tortola. You can snorkel gin-clear seas, summit 543-meter Sage Mountain at sunset, then get down with whatever party’s on—music festivals, regattas, Carnival, a full-moon bacchanal or just the regular blowouts.”
- Caribbean Life & Travel

“Couples flock to Guana Island for privacy. Trails crisscross the island to a salt pond, where flamingos live peacefully, donkeys graze, and birds and snorkelers glide over coral reefs.”
- Condé Nast Traveller

“Necker Island is hallowed ground of lovers of natural beauty.”
- Sports Illustrated

“Anegada is a limestone and coral atoll, which makes for spectacular sand: Fine, soft, soothing on the soles – like butter”
- Condé Nast Traveller
