Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands 

The Virgin Gorda boasts enough dramatic shallow-water snorkeling spots to keep avid adventurers active for days. Located on the southwest coast of Virgin Gorda sits the Baths where underwater reefs, rock life, and tropical fish abound. The Dogs, a small group of uninhabited islands just of the West Shore of the Virgin Gorda is another top pick—as are the many bays, such as Savannah Bay, that the island has also set up as self-guided snorkeling trails. On our specially curated Yachting Land Adventure, open-air safari wagons will take you and your fellow SeaDreamers on a short twenty-minute ride through the village of Spanish Town to snorkel at The Baths. 

 

Norman Island, British Virgin Islands

Simply put, Norman Island is vintage Caribbean paradise It is small, secluded, privately owned, uninhabited except for wild goats, and accessible only by yacht or helicopter. On Norman's north shore is the sheltered bay known as the Bight, one of the greatest natural anchorages in region, and our top spot in the British Virgin Islands for snorkeling.

St. Barths, French West Indies 

With its abundant secluded shores, St. Barths provides the idyllic snorkeling.
