www.virgingordatours.com
)
offers
several options to see the island by bus, including a half-day 'Highlights' tour (per person
$16) that takes in the Baths, Savannah Bay, and Gorda Peak and Copper Mine national
parks. This is the same Andy's that operates one of the local taxi fleets.
Sleeping
Lodging is pricey on Virgin Gorda, with no real budget options during high season. The
island has loads of private villas for rent. They're typically top-end, though you might find
a few one-bedroom places for $250 per night or two-bedroom places for $400 per night.
Rentals are usually by the week.
