How difficult is Virgin Gorda at Tortola?

This is a wonderful thread. All this time I didn't realize the Baths and Devil's Bay were different locations!

Following. We would like to do this excursion this summer!

Thanks for the info and pics.

I think we will pass on this one. Both DH and I am having troubles w/ knees. It is beautiful, though.

Any thoughts about a middle-aged guy with broad shoulders and ample 'assets'??? Are they going to have to get the jackhammers out to free me from the caves (I ask only half jokingly).

I'm over 6 feet tall and weigh over 250lbs. Made it without needing the jackhammers or dynamite to get me through. You will not want to have a large backpack with you.

What would you recommend in terms of a backpack? What do we need to take with us? Towels? And would you recommend a waterproof camera? We book our excursions tonight and this is one we all want to do! Any info is appreciated!

Definitely a waterproof camera. We also took towels, sunscreen, and water (Devil's Bay has no concessions).

Thanks! Did you take some sort of backpack? Was it waterproof?

We used regular backpacks -- they weren't waterproof. It's pretty easy to keep a backpack dry through the caves.
