Tour of the Virgin Islands
Day 1
You'll leave your daily life behind and step off the plane in St. Thomas to an island paradise. After a short taxi ride you'll board Flip Flop around noon for your exclusive adventure vacation on your all-inclusive floating resort. You'll be greeted with a welcome island drink to enjoy during your orientation. It won't be long before you'll find yourself on the trampoline sailing to Waterlemon Cay, St. John. Christina will prepare lunch while Jens sails you to their favorite snorkeling spot. Strap on your fins and swim with the turtles around the cay and/or a hike up to the Annaberg sugar plantation ruins. As you enjoy the sunset over St. John's with a crisp Pina Colada your private chef will be preparing a dreamy evening meal. Could life be any better?
Day 2
After a delicious breakfast and a morning swim, we sail across the Sir Francis Drake Channel to the old pirate haunt of Sophers Hole, Tortola. Welome to the BVI! While you explore the quaint harbour town, Jens will check everyone into customs. You may want to stock up on souvenirs, because you're about to head to Treasure Island. That's right, we're sailing to Norman Island (the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's famous book "Treasure Island"). Once at Norman Island, we can go for a dive at the "Indians" and/or snorkel Blackbeard's caves. In the afternoon relax with a book or go waterskiing, wakeboarding or tubing behind our dinghy. Spend sunset on deck with a glass of wine and some appetizers while Christina amazes you once again with another gourmet dinner. After dinner, party it up at the famous "Willy T" floating pirate ship bar or stay on board for some board games.
Day 3
Coffee on Flip Flop is amazing and Christina's breakfasts are remarkable. Don't worry about anything, you're on vacation! Jens will suggest a plan for the day: diving the coral reefs looking for infamous lion fish or a hike to the top of Norman for some of the best views in the Virgin Islands. After morning activities you'll sail to Peter Island for lunch and a lazy afternoon on Deadman's Beach. Ask Jens about the name. Peter Island Resort is one of the world's most exclusive places to vacation and you'll get to spend the afternoon there. Windsurfing, sandcastles or a hike to the top of the islands, the choices are maddening.
Day 4
As you sit down for breakfast, you'll wonder how Christina can prepare such amazing meals using calorie free foods... just amazing. We will make a short sail to Salt Island; home of one of the only working salt farms in the Carribbean and the last resting place of the famous wreck of the RMS Rhone. Remember that the Rhone is haunted before you decide to snorkel over the gigantic propeller or dive the skeleton of the hull. Lunch will be waiting when you get back. Relax as we sail to Cooper Island. We can dive "wreck alley", snorkel "Lantern Rock" or take a leisurely walk around the Cooper Island Beach Club (the perfect place to watch the sun set over the Sir Fancis Drake).
Day 5
You might want to start your morning with a workout on one of our stand up paddle boards before moving on to "Fallen Jerusalem." We'll launch the kayaks and you can go ashore this deserted island and explore ... it's all yours! Go find "lost beach" or snorkel the "Conch Graveyard." You will not want to leave! Listen for the blowing of the conch at noon ... lunch time! The afternoon will be spent at the world famous "Baths" of Virgin Gorda. We'll Arrive late enough to miss the day crowds but early enough for you to explore as much as you like. There is no place like this in the world!
Day 6
A great sail up to the North Sound of Virgin Gorda. There's a lot to do at the sound. Take a look around the Bitter End Yacht Club, go out in a Hobie Cat, snorkel the barrier reef, water ski or just lie back and read a good book. Need one? We've got scores to choose from. We love Saba Rock!
Day 7
Today we'll take a nice downwind sail to "Monkey Point", definitely one of the best snorkels anywhere. Swim with 6 foot Tarpon amid thousands of Silversides and brightly colored reef fish. Another nice downwind sail and we'll be at Jost Van Dyke; home of Foxy's, the Soggy Dollar, One Love and probably one of the nicest stretches of sand in the world. We can take a dinghy ride to Sandy Spit (no more than a lump of sand and palm trees in the ocean) or you can just find a hammock and forget about the world.
Day 8
Sad day, but it's not over yet! We'll sail early to get one last snorkel in on the way. Then it's back to the U.S. Virgin Island of St. John. We'll stop long enough to check in with customs and give you a little "souvenir time" - the petroglyph pendants are a must! Its back to St. Thomas in time to catch your flight and say goodbye to your new friends.
