Introduction to BVI

Travel to the Caribbean...where it meets the Atlantic. There lies a chain of sixty islands called the British Virgin Islands. With hundreds of secret bays and hidden coves, they have long been a seafarers' haven. Inhabited by Arawak and Carib tribes and later renamed by Columbus, the islands were once teeming with pirates and privateers who preyed on the Spanish galleons bound for Europe with Incan gold.

Today the pirates are no more, but travellers from all over the world still come to this place in the Caribbean to search for the little treasures which nature has hidden here. And be it a barefoot walk along some deserted beach, or a lazy afternoon spent swimming and snorkelling or diving off of a yacht, you are sure to leave the British Virgin Islands with memories to treasure.
