One destination, done properly
Cruise Ship Special and Half Day
Four or five hours on the water while your ship is in Road Town: Norman Island and the caves, the Soggy Dollar, or The Baths.
Off the ship and onto the water in minutes
We collect you at Village Cay Marina from 7am, whenever your ship comes in, and have you back at least an hour before it sails. Pick one destination and we give it the whole morning: snorkelling the caves at Norman Island, a Painkiller at the Soggy Dollar on Jost Van Dyke, or the boulders and hidden pools of The Baths. Not on a ship? The same tour runs from Hannah Bay Marina or Nanny Cay as a half day.
Best for: Cruise ship days, first-timers, families with a tight schedule.
The Baths option costs a little more because it is the longest run.

Good to know
How long is this tour?
It runs four hours, or five if you extend. Departure is from 7am, timed to your ship, and we always allow for the weather and the sea. The Baths option costs a little more because it is the longest run.
What does it cost, and is that per person?
From $1,000 for the whole boat, up to 12 guests, all inclusive. The captain, fuel, permits, snorkel gear and the cooler are all in the price. A deposit holds your date and the balance is paid on the day.
Who is this tour best for?
Cruise ship days, first-timers, families with a tight schedule. The whole boat is private to your group, so the day shapes itself around you.
Will we make it back to the ship in time?
Yes. We collect you from 7am, whenever your ship comes in, and have you back at Village Cay at least an hour before it sails. Watching the clock is our job, not yours.
Can we extend to five hours?
Yes. The same three destinations run as a five-hour half day for a little more, which buys you a longer swim and a slower lunch. Ask when you book.
Is gratuity included?
No. Gratuity is at your discretion, and 15 to 20% in cash is customary and much appreciated by the captain.
What if we have to cancel?
Cancel 14 or more days before your tour and you are refunded in full. Inside that, the deposit is kept. If something outside your control gets in the way, such as weather, a travel delay or a change to your ship's schedule, you are refunded in full.
