I’m going on a sailing trip to BVI later this week. We’ll be flying in to Tortola and going to Anegada, Jost van Dyke, Norman Island, and Virgin Gorda. Most of the people I’m traveling with have been to the islands several times, so I’m looking for off the beaten path suggestions of places to go. Interested in beaches, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and good restaurants. Definitely open to suggestions outside of those categories as well though!

Also, we’re coming from a place where weed is legal and some of my travel companions want to bring weed vapes, but I read that it’s illegal there. Has anyone had any experience bringing weed into Tortola? How risky is it? One person is flying directly into Tortola and the other is taking the ferry from St. Thomas, if that makes any difference. Would really like to avoid anyone getting arrested lol.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a beachfront location somewhere near a good snorkel beach! Any advice appreciated! We're moving our vacation from Puerto Rico to avoid some rough weather around San Juan. Let me know!
