St Thomas to Virgin Gorda Day Trips: Your Caribbean Bucket List Awaits
Ready for the St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda day trip that'll make your Instagram jealous? The Baths aren't just rocks—they're massive granite boulders stacked by nature into caves, grottoes, and tunnels you can scramble through like a kid again. Snorkel crystalline waters, claim your spot on powder-soft sand, or channel your inner explorer through the boulder maze. It's BVI's crown jewel, and yeah, it lives up to the hype.
The Cathedral Room
Explore the boulders and caverns that make up a maze that leads to secret rock pools and the famous Cathedral Room - a natural pool inside a small cave. There are these natural pools all through the Baths. After you explore, relax on the beautiful Devil's Bay beach, or do some swimming and snorkeling.
Snorkeling The Baths on your St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda day trip?
That's where things get weird (in the best way). Dip below the surface and suddenly you're in an underwater cathedral—granite boulders creating shafts of light while fish dart past like they own the place. Listen for the symphony of clicks and pops from hidden sea creatures. Follow a rainbow-colored parrotfish. Dodge a jellyfish doing its lazy float. It's Alice in Wonderland, but make it Caribbean.
Scavenger Hunt Vibe Mother Whale & Baby
Here's your St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda day trip scavenger hunt: find the Mother Whale and Baby rock formation while you're scrambling through The Baths. Spot the baby basking in the sun like it's on permanent vacation? You've officially unlocked local legend status. Pro tip: once you see it, you can't unsee it—nature's got jokes.
The Baths
The Aquarium
Bonus round: if your St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda day trip allows, we'll hit The Aquarium on the return. Why's it called that? Because the second you stick your face in the water, you'll get it—fish everywhere, like someone forgot to tell them this isn't actually an aquarium. Pro move: bring your own lunch so we can skip the restaurant stop and give you more water time. Just give us a heads up and we'll bring the extra ice.
