We are staying at the Agape Cottages at Cane Garden Bay. We have been to Tortola several times but never stayed on the island. Any recommendations for things to do on the island would be appreciated.
I'd drive the Ridge Road from one end to the other and stop and see the sites along the way. Sage Mountain Park is the highest point in the BVI and has some good hiking trails with killer views of the surrounding islands. Mt. Healthy is another park off the Ridge Road. O'Neal Botanical Gardens in Road Town is a nice place to visit on about 3 or 4 acres in the center of town. If you like snorkeling, I would pack a lunch and some drinks and then rent a boat to go snorkeling at the Indians. It is out in the Sir Francis Drake Passage but easy to get to in a runabout. Awesome snorkeling. Also, take the ferry over to Virgin Gorda and explore the Baths and enjoy the beach there. If you like to party and are there on a full moon then make sure you go to the Bomba Shack. Supposd to be a heck of a party but we've not been there on the full moon. Have a great trip!
P.S. If you scuba dive don't miss the Wreck of the Rhone, one of my favorite dives.
