Day 2: St. John to Jost Van Dyke
Leinster Bay, St John, offers a morning of spectacular snorkeling
or hiking. Most agree that Waterlemon Cay, just offshore from the
east end of Leinster Bay, is the best snorkeling on St. John.
Explorers and hiking enthusiasts can walk along the many island
trails where visitors are likely to spot feral donkeys and small
herds of goats that roam freely through the bush. History buffs
should take the Brown Bay Trail that leads to some of the most
extensive ruins on the island of St. John.
In the afternoon set sail for the Jost Van Dyke, first stop in the British Virgin Islands. Foxy's is one of the world famous beach bars where visitors can divulge in authentic Calypso island revelry. Join a "jump up" party and mix with visitors and locals, sample island cuisine, microbrews, and potent tropical rum drinks.

Day 4: Tortola to Norman Island
The Bight at Norman Island is renowned for legends of hidden pirate
treasure yet to be found. Norman Island, rumored to be the basis
for the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, Treasure Island, is a popular
snorkeling destination because of deep, dark caves that provide a
magical experience. The island is privately owned and the only
permanent inhabitants are wild goats. However, an old barge named
the "Willie T" operates as a risque bar and restaurant known for
seriously wild partying, mostly after dark.
