Vacation on the British Virgin Islands
Discovering the beauty of the British Virgin Islands is all about uncovering the unique characteristics of each island. Experience Virgin Gorda’s natural granite pillars, play and find adventure in Tortola, let the island spirit of Jost Van Dyke encapsulate you. No matter what island call to you, find friendly people, incredible beaches, and recreational activities that will leave lasting memories.
Geographic location
The British Virgin Islands consist of four main islands: Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke. There are also over 50 other smaller islands and cays that make up the BVI. About 16 of the islands are inhabited. The capital, Road Town, is on Tortola, the largest island, which is about 12 miles long and 3 miles wide.
Climate on the British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands are considered to have a tropical rainforest climate. Temperatures vary only a little throughout the year. The average daily temperature is around 89.6 °F in the summer and 84.2°F in the winter. Typical daily low temperatures are about 75.2 °F in the summer and 69.8 °F in the winter. Rainfall averages about 45.3 inches per year, higher in the hills and lower on the coast lines. The wettest months on average are September to November and the driest months tend to be February and March.
When to Go
The best time to visit the British Virgin Islands can be debated — in the end it depends on what you are looking for. The quietest times are from September to November, before the islands get crowded during the winter holidays. Hurricane season runs from June to November, so make sure to keep an eye on the weather if you’re planning a summer or fall visit. Divers should plan a trip for winter or spring; the summer season is the worst time for visibility underwater. Sailors should try to visit in March, during the BVI Spring Regatta.
Highlights about the British Virgin Islands
Boat Charters
Chartering a boat is one of the best ways to experience the British Virgin Islands. Many boat charter companies will allow you to select which boat you’d like to travel on and the details of your trip. Private charters offer you the ability to explore blue waters and anchor down wherever you want. You can also participate in boating events in the British Virgin Islands, like the annual Leverick Bay Poker Run, where you’ll witness more than 300 luxury boats race around the islands to collect playing cards and compete for the prizewinning hand.
Explore the Baths on Virgin Gorda
The Baths on Virgin Gorda is the one stop that should not be missed. Considered a geological wonder, the Baths appear from far away to look like a pile of rocks in a frozen state of tumbling. Made up of massive boulders, the Baths are a series of pools and caves that sit right on the beach, from which you enter through a tiny opening between the rocks.
There are ropes and wooden ladders handy to assist exploration through the Baths. Make sure to check out the end of the caves, where you’ll find Devil’s Bay — a small beach adjacent to the Baths.
Try the Conch
Conch shells are known to be used as beach decor in homes and businesses all over the world, but in the British Virgin Islands you can taste some of the freshest conch available. The British Virgin Islands have no shortage of the conch shellfish, and it’s one of the territory’s most iconic foods. You can try it fried, in a salad, or even in a ceviche.
If you’re already a huge conch-lover, seek out Kelly’s Sea and Land Tours on Anegada, where you can see the giant conch mountains and learn how to harvest your own conch.
Dive the Kodiak Queen
Whether you’re a diver or snorkeler, you’ll want to check out the Caribbean’s newest underwater art-piece and dive site — the Kodiak Queen. In 2012, the Kodiak Queen was considered just another ship in a junkyard on Tortola, until one day an amateur naval historian on a sailing vacation in the British Virgin Islands uncovered its major historical significance. Formerly a U.S. Navy fuel barge, this ship was one of only five that survived the Pearl Harbor attacks in 1941. Officially retired and beyond repair after its second life as a fishing vessel, an employee of Richard Branson posed an idea to his billionaire boss — to sink the Kodiak Queen and turn it into an art piece with the addition of a giant kraken sculpture made out of rebar and mesh, which will serve as an artificial coral reef and dive site. This is a dive site not to be missed.
