Escape to Jost Van Dyke Excursion

[mjc702]

Has anyone had any experiences with the Escape to Jost Van Dyke excursion while in Tortola? Planning to do it while on the Vision in March and just looking for some feedback. Thanks!

I did this from Empress this summer.  Pretty sure I did a did a trip report here but in my current Schooner Bar state of mind it may take me until tomorrow to find it.  
 

In a nutshell it was great.  Love Jost.  Beautiful beach and I’d do it again.

Awesome! Thank you!! Amazing pictures and great summary. Thank you for linking it.

Absolutely beautiful beach.  It was hit really hard by a hurricane last year, and I haven't been there since then, though.  It was definitely worth the excursion when we did it.

We did a similar excursion with another cruise line and loved it. I agree with the PP that a painkiller at the Soggy Dollar is a must! It’s not all that easy to get to Jost, so we saw the excursion as a great way to get there with a minimum of hassle.

Is a resurrection better than a zillion threads asking the same question or talking about tipping?  Asking for a friend…

I didn't look at the dates initially and thought...Bob is back!  😁

If on topic, resurrection is likely better than a new thread.

Biker uses the resurrection meme on any thread with a new post more than a year since last post.

Yes, Biker does.  Biker also talks about himself in the third person on a regular basis.  
 

That does not keep Ron from wondering which type of thread revival is better.  Ron considers resurrections and new birth threads on the same subject to be similar in some ways and different in others.
