Virgin Gorda Baths if ship is in Tortola from 1-7??

[Melanie1437]

Do you think we will have time? Or will it get dark too early? Do you think it would be worth it? What should we do in Tortola if not?

Thanks for your help!! :)

Yes, you can do it and it's worth it.

Definately go.

Go to www.speedysbvi.com for a ferry schedule and costs. Ferry trip is one half hour each way and there are taxis at the pier in VG to shuttle you to the Baths that can be included in a package price for the complete trip. Should be enough time to see the Baths, but it's too bad that a ship going into Tortola doesn't schedule a longer port stay to allow passengers more time at the Baths and on the VG island as well as Tortola.

Thank you all so much for your help! Know I just need to figure out when it will start getting dark... proably not before 7 right?

[Jerimiah]

With daylight savings time starting tomorrow, it should still be light later than 7:00 pm even in the next time zone.

The best part is it will be less crowded at the Baths. All the crowds from the ships tend to be in the morning. I believe it the most beautiful spot on earth - you shouldn't miss it.

Here's a link to the sunrise/sunset and dusk times for Road Town for the year.

Hope you find it useful.

Thanks so much! I am planning way ahead and won't be there until November... so the best I can tell from the chart it will get dark around 6 and I will be fine- as that is after I need to be heading back to the ship. Thanks for all of your advice!!
