What to do on my own

Some options -

 

Island tour, shared or private, with or without a beach stop.

 

Relax at beautiful Brewers Bay, Cane Garden Bay where many of your fellow cruisemates will be, or Long Bay, Beef Island which has been developed for day visitors.

 

Visit the Botanic Garden in Road Town.

 

Take the Rebel Yell to Jost Van Dyke and visit Foxy Callwood in Great Harbor then relax in White Bay and enjoy a Painkiller or two at the  Soggy Dollar Bar, or  Seddy’s Bushwacker at his One Love Bar.

 

Taxi to Marina Cay for lunch and then shop Aragorn’s pottery studio in Trellis Bay.

 

Are you interested in a daysail, a popular beach or a more secluded beach, snorkeling, or anything else?

Thanks for the suggestions. Pretty open to what I do. Do not like large tours with the cruise ship and being hurded off and on coaches. Small or private tours are fine. Not one to just sit in sun all day either need shade or something active with walking or hiking. Love the water though

Tour to Jost Van Dyke to White Bay Beach.

Thanks for the suggestion this may be a good option

White Bay is a fun spot to drink and people watch, but doesn’t fit what you are looking for...

 

But if interested in just a beach day you do actually need to book through the cruise ship before that excursion fills up (aka the Rebel Yell). And you are in WB a short time...

 

An alternative is going on your own, a bit more adventurous. Taxi 25 minutes to West End, ferry to Great Harbor, and taxi (or walk over the hill!) to White Bay. Cost for 1 person  is ~$114 + drinks! But you are not with a larger group...

 

In the end it is just a beach day, albeit a nice beach!

After reading your reply again (love the water though), you may enjoy spending time just limin’ in White Bay via Rebel Yell. There are usually two departures so if this excursion through your ship is still available you can go early or later then walk around the port area when you return...

Is it possible to walk to the Botanic garden from the cruise ship dock and if yes how long of a walk? Thanks.

White Bay is just a nice beach on the island of Jost Van Dyke with beach bars (Soggy $, Ivan's, and Seddie's One Love are a few) and a small hotel on the beach. If you taxi and ferry over got Jost you dock in Great Harbor where Foxy's Taboo is, if you take the Rebel Yell cat you land in White Bay. Jost Van Dyke is further from the cruise dock than other destinations like the Baths on Virgin Gorda, or beaches on Tortola so is less easy to get to.  

 

Cane Garden Bay is a larger bay on Tortola that is home to several beach bars, and there are less-visited beaches as well, just depends on what you are looking for....
