Cruise over to White Bay on nearby Jost Van Dyke, the ultimate beach paradise for sunbathing and simply relaxing. Walk a few steps from the pier to the tender dock, where you'll board a motorized catamaran. The cruise to neighboring Jost Van Dyke lasts about 45-50 minutes and is incredibly scenic, as you'll pass several classic Caribbean islands, including St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This excursion is all about enjoying the thrill of the outdoors, an ideal combination of an invigorating cruise, an idyllic beach and Caribbean ambiance. Sit back and enjoy the views to port and starboard of this island archipelago en route to your first stop, White Bay on Jost Van Dyke. The catamaran will nose up to the beach to allow you to step ashore on one of the British Virgin Islands most magnificent beaches. You’ll find yourself in paradise with crystal clear blue waters lapping at a picture perfect white sand beach fringed by palm trees On White Bay, you'll have a full 3 hours ashore to enjoy the sugar-white beach, lounge in a hammock strung between two palm trees, sunbathe or go swimming. To round out your escape to Jost Van Dyke, the crew will supply you with a glass of fruit or rum punch on the return leg to the cruise pier. There's a reef at the bay's western edge that's usually teeming with blue tangs, rainbow parrotfish and other marine life. You might even see sea turtles and bottlenose dolphin. Later, you can enjoy a cool drink at the Soggy Dollar Bar, where the famous Painkiller cocktail was invented in the 1970s. This is the Caribbean as it was meant to be: completely stress-free. And the mood will stay with you long after you return to the pier in Tortola.
