Virgin Gorda or Jost Van Dyke?

[volk904]

Trying to decide between the two for our Tortola stop. I am a bigger guy so I probably not spend time trying to squeeze through the baths but I love to snorkel and have the gear and have heard the snorkeling is great and you can actually just snorkel around the baths. On the other hand the Van Dyke trip gets great reviews. Sounds a some trips to Dt Johns we have taken.

 

How about some feedback?

We just got back from our Escape vaction. I contemplated both these tours and ended up booking us the escape to Jost Van Dyke. So glad I did. We bumped into the Virgin Gorda tour and they out numbered our group by about 5 to 1. We have about 20 to 30 people on our catamaran. That number was perfect. When we got to the beach, even with that number, it felt like an abandoned paradise. And the Painkiller drink is absolutely delicious!

Did you have to swim in to a beach?

Can you snorkel at Jost or is it a beach and bar set up? What about beach chairs?

The catamaran gets as close as possible to beach, may have to wade in ( waist high).
