Has anyone done Jost Van Dyke Excursion

[Stratus22]

I'm wondering if anyone has done the Jost Van Dyke Excursion through Disney. I see on NCL, they used a company called BVI Tour Center for their excursion and this boat went right up onto the beach to drop off the passengers. I'm hoping Disney uses the same company. Any feedback would be appreciated :)

I've done it.

Boat takes you from Tortoa to Jost.

Stops a short ways from the shore and those who want to dive / jump in and swim to shore can.

Motor trawls the boat a little closer to shore where they drop a ladder into the standing depth water and you walk to shore. A "wet landing" as it were.

 

Day is nice. Plenty of loungers. Many shaded. Included.

Lunch included - some kind of salad, a meat/ fish, a beverage.

Non motor water sports included. I remember kayaking. I also remember a large water trampoline.

Thanks for the Info. We are traveling with a 4 yr old who is not a swimmer yet so the approach to the beach doesn't seem to bad then. Then we will keep the excursion. Thanks again :)

Hi! My 4 year old son and I will be on the Disney Fantasy in October 2016 and I've been researching Tortola excursions and came across your post. I would love to visit Jost Van Dyke and was worried the Disney excursion would not allow anyone under 5. Are 4 year olds allowed on this excursion?

Disney just cancelled their port adventures to JVD.

WE went on this excursion and loved the beach. The native's however weren't very friendly and the colorful metaphors around the kids was abundant. I'll be surprised however if Disney returns to Tortola at all. Just didn't seem like much to do there.

Our tour was canceled as well. Does anyone have a recommendation for a private tour to Jost or another beach? We were really looking forward to a day ate the beach.

We took a private tour with Kuralu (see their reviews on trip advisor) to Jost Van Dyke and had a wonderful time. My son loved their dog Grommit who was on the boat with us. They served us a wonderful lunch on board as well.
